Garbage
Provide your feedback on source separated organics
Organic waste is defined as any plant or animal-based material that is biodegradable, meaning that it breaks down into carbon dioxide, methane, or simple organic molecules over time. Examples of organic waste include food waste or yard trimmings. The purpose of this survey is to engage with residents on current waste practices and to collect feedback on potential source separated organic waste programs.

Garbage is picked up every week. Pickup is done by Waste Connections, the Township's contractor. We publish the collection schedule in the Township's municipal calendar.
What if a schedule changes?
Your pickup day may change if a holiday overlaps with a regular collection day. Sometimes your pickup will be earlier than you're used to. We print regular schedules and changes in our calendar, and changes are listed on our website.
