Grass Collection Grass clippings collection will be on Tuesday of each week beginning in April and running through October.

Brush Collection: Brush will be picked up EVERY week (January - October). Please note that the Brush Collection will stop at the end of October for leaf season and will resume the following January.

The East Side of Town (10th Avenue to Haddonfield) will be collected on WEDNESDAY every week. 
The West Side of Town (10th Avenue to Black Horse Pike) will be collected on THURSDAY every week. 

All branches should be placed neatly at the curbside. Smaller items should be placed inside open containers or large brown paper leaf/yard bags. PLEASE NO PLASTIC BAGS. Brush should not be placed in the street.

Leaf Collection: Vacuum Leaf Collection will begin mid-October and will continue through mid-December. Please adhere to the following guidelines: Rake your leaves to the CURB. Please DO NOT place leaves in the street. Leaf piles in the street cause flooding and drainage problems during rainstorms. DO NOT place leaves closer than 10 feet from any storm sewer inlet. DO NOT park cars in front or on top of leaf piles, our trucks will not be able to pick up those leaves that are blocked. 

We do not provide vacuum collection during the winter or spring. During that time you must bag your leaves in large brown paper leaf/yard bags or put them in an open container/trash can, please no Toter cans or plastic bags. They will then be picked up on your regular brush collection day.

Your cooperation will help keep Borough streets clean and assist with drainage of the curb line during winter and spring storms. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 

White Goods Collection:  If you have white goods (Refrigerator, Washer, Dryer, etc.) that need to be collected, we ask that you call the Department of Public Works at 856-547-1240 and they will schedule a time to come and pick up the item curbside.  

Electronic Recycling Collection: As of January 2011, the state of New Jersey does not allow electronics such as televisions, computer monitors, laptop computers, & personal computers into the waste stream.  Please bring your electronic recycling to 514 W. Atlantic Avenue between the hours of 8:00 am and 2:00 pm Monday through Thursday and drop them in the WHITE POD located inside the gate.
