The annual Spring Clean-Up & Bulk Waste curbside collection program is now easier and more convenient than ever - instead of the complicated curbside pick-up schedule that ran from April through June, we’re now offering every residential household a ONE-TIME PER YEAR FREE BULK WASTE PICK-UP.  The revised bulk waste collection program is more convenient for resident homeowners and allows the Department of Public Works to better manage bulk waste collection.  All you need to do is call the Department of Public Works Sanitation Office at: 732-738-1311 x3600 – the staff will provide the details about the ONE-TIME PER YEAR FREE BULK WASTE PICK-UP and get you on the schedule.

It’s time for Spring Cleaning and time to get rid of those unwanted flyers and ad circulars that keep piling-up in the driveway!!!  More than 3,400 Township residents have signed-up for “Do Not Drop” – which regulates the unsolicited distribution of advertising circulars, fliers, newspaper supplements and related advertising bulletins.   Along with creating the registry, the Township Ordinance mandates that circulars, flyers, and unsubscribed-to newspaper supplements must be delivered or dropped within ten feet of the intended recipient’s driveway, sidewalk or pathway to the front door of the property and must be delivered so that it is visible and easily retrieved by the resident.  Visit the Township web page at www.twp.woodbridge.nj.us to sign-up for “Do Not Drop.”
