ATTENTION RESIDENTS!
To provide a better service to the residents of Gloucester Township, starting February 2021, Gloucester Township will be switching to a new waste disposal company – Central Jersey Waste and Recycling Company – which will now be responsible for trash removal. Please note, that Recycling will still be picked up by Gloucester Township Municipal Utility Authority.

Attention Residents With a Regular Trash Pickup Day on THURSDAY: Starting February 2021 your trash pickup day will now be on FRIDAY. Recycling will follow your normal schedule. Please share this information with your family and friends.

All other residents’ regular trash and recycling days will remain THE SAME.

Tires, only two (2) tires per household with the metal rims removed, will be collected on your weekly trash day.
Sinks and Toilets will be picked up at curbside on your weekly trash day.

Recycling is the Law

All residents are reminded that recycling is mandatory statewide. By removing recyclables from the regular trash flow, we help save our environment and save tax dollars that would otherwise be spent on trash disposal fees. Read more about single stream recycling.

SINGLE-STREAM RECYCLING GUIDELINES FOR 2024

“Recycling Coach” App is available to Gloucester Township Residents.
The “Recycling Coach” App allows residents to enter their address and receive information about what is recyclable and pick-up dates. Download the free app at the Apple store or Google play.

HOW TO RECYCLE

Recycling carts are collected every other week at curb side. Use your cart space wisely. Compress and flatten recyclables to maximize cart space. Cardboard must be broken down and placed vertically in cart so that the cart will empty properly. The recycling carts’ lid must be closed in order to be picked up.
NO PLASTICS BAGS. All containers should be empty and rinsed and all recyclables must be kept as dry as possible. If you received a recycling cart, it must be used. Additional recycling material left outside recycling cart will be collected by a different truck. Any oversized cardboard that cannot be broken down (remove bubble wrap, plastic bags & Styrofoam) may be put out for overflow truck.

WHAT TO RECYCLE:

Only recycling items listed below go into the recycling cart/container
GLASS CONTAINERS that were previously used for food or beverages. These containers may be clear, brown or green glass.
METAL CONTAINERS refers to aluminum, tin or bi-metal food and beverage containers.
PLASTIC CONTAINERS that only display the plastic class types #1 & #2 recycling triangle. These containers could have been used for juice, milk, soda and water; no loose lids.
RESIDENTIAL PAPER: refers to newspaper and all of its inserts, catalogs, chipboard (beer & soda cartons), cereal boxes, computer paper, envelopes, gift boxes, greeting cards, junk mail, magazines, office paper, paper toilet/towel rolls, phone books, text books (without hard covers) and work books. Also, all types of flattened- folded in half/cut down corrugated cardboard (put in cart vertically so cart will completely empty).
CARDBOARD in the cart must be flattened and folded in half then placed vertically in the cart, so it will not jam. Additional cardboard may be flattened and taped together in small batches and put off to the side, on the ground and away from the cart. Make sure all the inserts are out of the boxes. Oversize boxes leave empty off to the side and away from the cart as well. A different truck will collect the overflow cardboard.

DO NOT PUT IN YOUR RECYCLING CART/BUCKET:

No grass, leaves, brush, batteries, electronics, construction debris, diapers, pizza boxes, Styrofoam, vinyl, food, pet waste, liquids or trash of any kind.

NO PLASTICS BAGS: DO NOT put plastic bags in your recycling cart/bucket. DO NOT BAG RECYCLABLES. Plastic bags are the worst contaminant in the recycling stream. Return plastic bags to retailers or dispose of with your household trash.

Please, do not put any markings on your cart as it is Township property; each cart has an identification number and a RFID tag which will correspond with your address.


Single-Stream automation questions:

How should I set my cart out for collection?

  • Carts placed on the curb must be no more than 2 feet from the street.
  • Carts placed in street; wheels should be touching the curb with the exception of homes in cul-de-sacs. Residents in cul-de-sacs should place their cart far enough away from the curb so the trucks’ 12 foot automated collection arm can reach.
  • Arrows on the cart lid must be pointing towards street or the cart cannot be collected.
  • Cart must be at least 5 feet away from & not behind any obstacles such as mailboxes, trash, utility poles, vehicles, yard waste and other carts.
  • Automated collection requires a 15 foot overhead clearance, keep cart away from low hanging trees and wires.
  • Don’t overload your cart, lid must be fully closed.
  • Carts must always be on level ground (no snow or leaf piles).

Can the recycling cart be returned?

  • No, it is the law to recycle so residents may not return the cart.

Can I paint my cart or change my cart lid?

  • No, the carts are Township property and the lid may not be removed.

Can I use a different cart or bucket?

  • No, only recycling carts issued by the Township may be used
