 LEAVES  

R1 Leaves will be picked up April 5 – April 9, May 3 – May 7. 

R2 Leaves will be picked up April 12 – April 16, May 10 – May 14.

 Residents are asked not to place leaves out any earlier than the Sunday night before their pick up week and not after that date.  Public Works will continue picking up the leaves and brush the rest of the week.  Public Works will be doing each area one time only and they will not go back to pick up leaves put out after the designated week but the recycling yard is open during the week for registered homeowners.  If you are not registered, please stop by at Borough Hall. 

BRUSH 

R1 Brush will be picked up April 19 – April 23, May 17 – May 21.

R2 Brush will be picked up April 26 – April 30, May 24 – May 28.

 Brush MUST be tied and bundled in no more than 3 foot lengths and will not be picked up if not tied and manageable.  Public Works will be doing each area one time only and they will not go back to pick up brush after the designated days. 

Please follow your calendar for your designated week.  This will help Public Works save time and money as the truck is multi-purposed throughout the month.

Public Works will make every effort to pick up your leaves as quickly and efficiently as possible, we are, however asking our residents to please make note of the following guidelines to help make this happen.  Large bags for leaves and small bags for mulched leaves. 

We will not pick up bags bigger than the 50-gallon plastic type.  Please do not over stuff mulched leaves in a large bag.  This causes the bag to break when lifting. 

Do not put brush, large clippings, stones or dirt in the bags, it not only makes the bags heavier than they need to be and they tend to rip easier. 

Do not tie the tops of the bags, instead, please fold the bags and tape the tops with masking tape.  This will not only keep the water out of the bags but will save time in emptying them into the truck.  Tied bags will be cut open.

No leaves or brush in the Robo cans per Borough Ordinance.  Leaves are a recyclable resource.  When they go into the trash, they cost the Borough money and waste valuable space in the landfill.  Your trash will not be picked up with recyclable material in the green cans.

TRASH

  • Please place garbage cans where the garbage truck can have no trouble reaching them. Please make sure no cars, trees or other obstructions are blocking access.
  • Cans cannot be overflowing and tops must be closed completely, so we can get all contents in the truck.
  • Place curbside the night before and remove before the evening.

RECYCLING

  • Commingled glass, aluminum, plastic bottles placed in gray cans.
  • Please place recycling cans where the garbage truck can have no trouble reaching them. Please make sure no cars, trees or other obstructions are blocking access.

Single Stream Paper Recycling

Pine Beach residents in 2008 must place all the materials that make up the recycling paper stream into one container with a lid for curbside pickup.

The items are junk mail, cardboard, newspapers with inserts, magazines, computer paper, office papers, empty brown paper bags and school papers.

Here is how it works:

Take all those items and place them all together in one container. 

No need to bundle, wrap, tape or bag.

Cover the container with a lid, place at curb and recycle.  Items that should be excluded are cereal and pizza boxes, plastic bags, paper plates, and trash.  Telephone books should be recycled separately.  Cardboard should be broken down to fit the container.

Don’t forget Ocean County has dual stream recycling: 

  • Paper stream will now go into one container
  • Bottles and cans will go in the gray container
  • Household trash will go in the green container
  • Usable clothing can be dropped off at Borough Yard

Recycle old household batteries & cell phones at the County Connection, located in the OC Mall, or at Borough Hall.

 Drop off worn American Flags:  American Flags, no longer suitable for display, can be dropped off at the County Connection.  The flags will be turned into a veterans group for proper disposal.
