Reduce, reuse and recycle materials whenever possible to create less waste, which could end up in our streets and contribute to Storm water Pollution.
Pick up trash and litter on your property and put it in the trash. Always use a public trash can in public areas. Recycle any reusable materials, especially cans, bottles and paper. NEVER throw litter and debris directly into storm drains. Such debris can wash into waterways and onto beaches, and clogged drains can cause street flooding and traffic congestion.
Always put your cigarette butts in ashtrays or solid garbage cans, not on the streets. Remember our parks, playgrounds and beaches are not ashtrays. When an ashtray or garbage can not be available, store extinguished butts in your pack until you find a proper receptacle.
Empty automobile ashtrays into the trash, not out your car window or directly on the ground. Proper disposal will keep our waterways clean and minimize the risks of fires.
Make sure to properly dispose of leftover household chemicals, paints and automotive fluids. These leftover chemicals should never be thrown away. Take them to a household hazardous waste collection center where they can be recycled. To find a center near you, visit www.state.nj.us/dep/dshw/rrtp/hhwcps.htm
Although we provide recycling of glass, aluminum, cardboard, magazines and newspapers at our center, we encourage you to use your garbage collector for these items.
Curbside recycling is based on the schedule provided by your garbage collector. There is no additional charge for this service; it is already included in your garbage collectors fee. Each collector will provide residents with recycling dates and a list of the materials collected.
