CHANGE IN RECYCLING PROCESS

The Township has switched over the DPW yard from the previous recycling practice of requiring residents to sort glass, plastic, steel and aluminum cans to dual stream recycling. Which means all these items can now be comingled. A new concrete bin has been configured in the DPW yard to handle this and residents are asked to follow the signage. The recycling of fiber products; newspapers, cardboard, magazines, etc. is remaining the same.

 
The New Jersey State Library has created a web site that provides assistance to New Jersey residents and businesses to help them through tough economic times.
