The Latest From the Administrator 

Updates from the Township Committee Meeting held on July 14, 2026. 

DPW
  

  • Recycling 
    • Plastics bags are not permitted in recycling cans. Cans with plastic bags will not be picked up. The reason being; the recycling gets put on a belt and goes through a machine but the plastic bags get caught in the machine and then have to be manually removed by someone. 
    • Please put recycling out in a can with a lid to prevent it from blowing away. 
  • Recycling Center: Despite our best efforts to publicly notify residents about acceptable materials, we are still finding illegal dumping on a regular basis. We want residents to understand that the center is under surveillance 24/7 and that illegal dumping no matter how small is being prosecuted.
