Grass/Vegetative Waste Cart Pickup:  March 14, 2011 to October 28, 2011 -  After October 28, 2011 the vegetative waste (i.e. garden debris, grass clippings and thatching debris) can be placed at curbside with your leaves.  Please note that no dirt, mulch, branches & sticks are to be placed along with this type of pick up.

 

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.
