For consideration all yard waste must be bundled or contained in accordance with the Township requirements found on the Recycling Page of this website.
The Township will issue permits to commercial landscapers for unlimited drop-off at the Yard Waste Facility. The annual permit fee is $200.00. An application must be completed and payment made at the Township Building before the waste can be dropped off.
Tree trimmings, shrubbery and any other organic vegetation are considered yard wast and will be accepted.

Chose to Use Non-Toxic Alternatives
|
|
|
|
|
Many commercial cleaners contain substances which are toxic and can burn skin or eyes on contact. Without proper ventilation their use can also produce harmful fumes. Non-toxic alternatives are not only as effective and easy to use as their commercial counterparts, but they are also safer for your family and the environment. Best of all, these non-toxic alternatives are less expensive and require less storage space.
