The landfill sites are closed on statutory holidays.

Garbage Collection
The Township has weekly curb side, residential garbage pick-up.  Businesses are permitted to take advantage of this pick-up but must comply with the Township’s garbage policies.  All residents and businesses are permitted to set out two garbage bags at curb side.  Any additional garbage must be in an authorized garbage bag purchased from various locations in the Township.  The price of additional garbage bags is $1.25 per bag.
