APPLIANCES AND BULK METAL
YARD WASTE
-
Yard waste is collected
with trash.
-
Place curbside in open containers or tied bundles (weighing
less than 50-pounds). Blue recycling buckets can be used for leaves
and grass only. Cut and tie brush into bundles no longer than 6-foot
and no heavier than 50 pounds. Place bundles neatly on the park strip
with your trash.
FALL LEAF COLLECTION
-
Rake leaves to the area between the curb and sidewalk.
-
Leaves should be raked into one or two large piles rather
than several small piles
-
Please do not bag leaves. We cannot vacuum bagged
leaves.
-
Please do not mix brush or vines with leaves. During
leaf collection season, the Public Works Department does not chip brush.
Brush and vegetative matter will be picked up with regular trash pick-up.
Cut and tie into bundles no longer than 4-foot and no heavier than
50-pounds. Place bundles neatly curbside with your trash.
SNOW REMOVAL
During a snow storm, the Public Works employee’s
are working hard to make your streets safe.
Township trucks may plow your street several
times and as the snow rolls off the plows it
sometimes accumulates in driveways. Please
understand that this is unavoidable and it does
become the homeowner’s responsibility to clear
it. Here are some helpful hints to make “snow”
removal less frustrating:
-
Shovel snow to the
right side of your driveway (facing the
street) to minimize the amount of snow
entering your driveway.
-
If possible, wait
until the township trucks have made at least
three passes on your street before cleaning
your driveway.
-
DO NOT PARK
cars on the street from
one hour
after snow have continuously fallen until
12
hours after
snow has stopped. This speeds the removal
process and prevents cars from being plowed
in.
SEWERS
Call the Sewer
Department at (609) 868-2552 when you have a
sewer blockage before calling your plumber.
By following the
rules listed below, you can save yourself a call
to the plumber.
POT HOLES
Residents who encounter potholes on borough
streets, should call Public Works at (856)
784-6162 to report the location.
