Middle Township Clarifies Bulk Trash Pickup Schedule

COURT HOUSE – Middle Township Public Works reminds residents that bulk pickup always takes place during the last trash pickup of the month, unless that trash day falls on a holiday, in which case it would occur the following day.
Residents are permitted to dispose of one bulk item per month (a mattress and box spring together count as one item). No construction debris such as windows, doors, wood, fencing, etc. is permitted. Items should be placed by the curb by 7 a.m. on pickup day.
Middle Township participates in the Cape May County MUA’s litter abatement program, which permits municipalities to dispose of waste at no charge on certain days. By timing bulk pickups in conjunction with the County’s litter abatement program, Middle Township drastically reduces disposal expenses and minimizes taxpayer costs.
“We felt this release was needed to clarify some confusion over our bulk trash pickup policy,” Mayor Tim Donohue said. “We strive to get good info out our residents, but sometimes fall short. We appreciate when this is pointed out to us by the folks we serve.”
