Brush Collection
Pursuant to State Stormwater Management Regulations, debris may NOT be placed in the roadway or within 10 feet of storm drain outlets.
The Borough will collect brush that is 12 inches in diameter or less, provided it is cut into 3-foot lengths and neatly placed at the curb (not in the street). Brush must remain on your own property and may not be placed at the curb until the weekend prior to your scheduled pickup. Please note that there is no brush collection during the fall leaf season. To schedule a pickup, residents must call the Tax Clerk at 856-299-0098 ext. 188 or Public Works at ext. 119.
GRASS CLIPPINGS:
