IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MANTUA TOWNSHIP
RESIDENTS
Single Stream
Recycling Explanation:
ALL
recycles must be placed in the new blue cart (glass, aluminum, plastic,
paper, cardboard, etc.) and will be separated at the recycling center. This
new system of recycling will make it easier for the residents and the
Township for collection. The cost for disposal of the comingled product
will be "0" dollars. We currently pay $74.69/ton for the disposal of
trash. Therefore you can see why it is so important to comply with the New
Jersey Recycling Law and recycle!
Please do not put
vegetative waste in the blue cart. We will be providing a cart to residents
who request one for grass clippings, flowers, etc. in the near future.
Until then please compost your vegetative waste or place in the black trash
containers. On the other side of this notice, you will find a detailed list
of recycling products that can be placed in the carts and a list of items
that cannot be placed in the cart.
All large corrugated
cardboard must be cut so it will dump out of the cart. Please do not crush
large cardboard boxes into the cart as they will not dump out into the
truck. Either cut into pieces or call Public Works for large cardboard pick
up.
If you see the same
trucks pick up your trash and recycling and dump into the same truck, please
do not be alarmed. The trucks have two compartments for trash and recycling
that are separated down the middle. This will allow three trucks and three
drivers to complete the collection of trash and recycling. This operation
previously required fifteen employees.
The more tonnage that we
recycle saves us all money and qualifies us for more funding and grants from
the State. Your cooperation and support is needed to make this program a
success and we thank you!
If you have any
questions please contact the Public Works Department at 468-1502.
