Trash Collection Stickers
Stickers cost $1.50 and may be purchased at the Township Tax Office, Walgreens, Rachel’s Deli or Acme. Township Ordinance requires that when purchasing stickers one must give the following information: name of the user, the address of the property adjacent to which the waste will be placed for collection and the nature of the use of the property. The stickers are nontransferable; however, they may be redeemed from the Township at a cost if the user decides that there is no further use required. Every container of trash must have trash sticker on it. If you use trash cans, place the sticker on the top item in the can so it is plainly visible when the lid is removed by the collector. Stickers will be disposed of with the trash and will not be reusable. If there is no sticker as required, the trash will not be collected.
