Hainesport Township Trash Information
Trash is collected on Thursdays by Central Jersey Waste & Recycling, Inc. If you experience any problems with pick-up, please contact the Municipal Building (609) 267-2730 or Central Jersey Waste & Recycling (609) 771-8005. Containers when full shall weigh no more than 50 pounds. No more than 100 pounds per collection. Every owner, operator and occupant shall be responsible for providing containers sufficient in number to hold all garbage, rubbish, refuse and waste material, in the manner prescribed, from one collection to the next actual collection. Such garbage, rubbish, refuse and waste material shall be placed in the containers and placed out for pick-up no earlier than 12 p.m. noon the Wednesday prior to collection. Containers must be retrieved from collection location by 12 a.m. midnight on the day of collection (Thursday).
If Thursday is a holiday, your trash will be picked up on Friday. All other holidays do not affect your pick-up day.
You are allowed to have one (1) bulk item per week with your regular trash. A bulk item might include items such as a singular piece of furniture, mattress or box spring (not both). Carpeting (limit of 5 rolls cut into 4 foot lengths). If you are a contractor and are disposing of household materials as a result of house-flipping or renovations, you must make arrangement to dispose of this on your own. If you have a professional contractor do any remodeling work to your home, contractor must remove all debris.
If you are attempting to dispose of construction materials, both indoor and outdoor, or landscaping materials, including fencing, railroad ties, concrete, etc., you must make arrangements to dispose of this on your own. No POOL CHEMICALS (containers, bags, etc.) are permissible for disposal, as these are extreme hazardous material. Check the phone directory for listings on dumpsters, haulers, etc. You have the option of taking materials to the Burlington County Landfill (609) 499-5200 or Hainesport Transfer Station located at 5900 Sylon Boulevard in Hainesport. Hainesport Township also sponsors two ‘Clean-up Days’ per year and there is a monitored Recycling Drop-off Center for certain household items located at 100 Broad Street.
The trash contractor WILL NOT accept items placed in cardboard with the exception of broken glass. A heavy cardboard box or plastic bucket should be taped and labeled that it contains broken glass to protect the workers from injury. All other cardboard is to be recycled. The contractor also WILL NOT accept leaves or brush. The trash contractor CANNOT return for late curb placement. PLEASE HAVE CONTAINERS OUT BY 6:00 a.m.
ARE YOU PLANNING TO MOVE?
Please be advised that if you are moving and you have a large amount of household trash to be disposed of, you must make your own arrangements to dispose of these items, such as a dumpster. If arrangements cannot be made in advance of a settlement buyers are urged to request that money be held in escrow to cover any costs to dispose of these materials. The township's contract does not include the cost for disposal of house contents in bulk and as such it is a homeowner responsibility to dispose of large quantities of goods.
