 Registered homeowners with a blue card may drop off leaves or recycling at the Borough Yard, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 2 PM.

No leaves or brush in the Robo cans per Borough Ordinance

 Any problems with garbage or recycling please call 732-240-0566

Remember - Green cans are for household trash only

Bulk will not be accepted at the yard as the yard is not a dump site, it's a recycling facility .

On May 2, 2011 Ocean County launched a new website to help promote the reuse of materials called 2Good2Waste.org/oceancountynj.   This is an internet based waste exchange program that will help people give away or sell household items that would otherwise end up in the landfill.   The service is free and is limited to Ocean County residents.   It is very easy to sign up as a member and post a listing.  There is no money exchanged between the County and the members.  $99.00 is the maximum on anything to be sold.  The site is monitored by the exchange administrator and each new listing goes to the administrator for approval.  This exchange is also a good way to promote local community events such as community clean ups, environmental festivals, community yard sales.

Ocean County is the first and only  one in New Jersey to launch the 2Good2Waste Exchange.  There are 8 states in this country that are a part of the 2Good2Waste Exchange network.

Leaves: 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.

Batteries: Effective immediately, per Ocean County Solid Waste Management, we will no longer be recycling batteries.  You are able to throw them out with the regular household trash. 

The Electronic Waste Management Act (N.J.S. A 13:1E-99. et seq.)

As of January 1st Public Works will no longer be able to pick up “covered electronic devices”.  This includes televisions, computers, monitors and portable/laptop computers.  Ocean County Northern Recycling on New Hampshire Ave, Lakewood will take computers from homeowners.  Please call them at 732-367-0820 for more information.  

Mattress and Carpeting:  Public Works will no long be able to take mattress or carpeting at the yard.  We are no longer allowed to bring these materials to the landfill.  If you are getting new mattresses or carpeting, please make arrangements to have the old ones hauled away.

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.
