Solid Waste Collection

RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE / TRASH COLLECTION

Household trash is collected once per week.

Please use your green Township-issued container only -- extra bags left outside the bin won’t be collected. Place the container with the metal bar facing the street and leave about two feet of space on each side so the truck can grab it safely.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING TRASH COLLECTION

Garbage cans are forest green and have the Bordentown Township logo embossed on the side. They are also coded for each home. When a resident moves, the garbage can should stay with the home.

Residents may mark their cans and/or lids with their house number to ensure the can stays with the proper home. These cans are distinct and separate from the blue recycling cans distributed by Burlington County. The Recycling schedule will not change.
