We firmly support Monmouth County’s desire to relieve the pressure on our solid waste dumps by the increased recycling of reusable materials. The current list of recyclables that must be removed from the solid waste stream include the following:
- Grass-clippings and leaves
- Asphalt roofing tiles
- White items (Kitchen appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers; etc.)
- Plastic
- Aluminum, bi-metal, and tin cans
- All colors of glass bottles
- Corrugated cardboard
- Mixed paper
The Borough Recycling Coordinator is available to answer any of your questions, and has the responsibility of insuring that the above items are not disposed of with ordinary household waste. The coordinator has the authority to issue administrative summons to those residents who do not comply with the Borough Recycling ordinance.
Garbage is picked up twice a week on Tuesday and Friday from the curbside.
One (1) bulk item per household will be picked up with the Friday collection. A bulk item must be able to be lifted into the sanitation truck. Examples include 1 mattress or 1 box spring (not together); 1 headboard; etc.
No appliances of any kind will be accepted (No TVs, stereos, computers, monitors, refrigerators, washers, dryers; etc.)
Please, no engines, or gasoline-powered equipment of any kind.
