2025 Trash and Recycling


Trash Collection is once a Week. Cans weighing less than 60 pounds must be placed at the curb by 6:00 AM; cans cannot be placed at the curb before the evening before pick-up—no earth material or car parts. See below for guidelines.

No Trash Collection on Major Holidays:  New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Trash collection on the holidays (and the days following the holiday) will usually be one day later. Observed holidays will be treated as a regularly scheduled week unless otherwise posted.  We will post any changes due to these holidays on the website's main page under "News" and on our Westampton Township Facebook page.  A calendar for 2025 is attached.  

 

Trash Collection Guidelines

* Trash to be collected must be in containers. 

Appliances/Metal:  Occurs every other Friday.  To schedule a pickup, call 609-267-1891  Ext. 6 by Wednesday morning to be added to the list  

Brush:  Brush should be placed at the curb for the collection by the Township at the beginning of the month.  Small clippings/trimmings may be bagged and placed out with regular trash.

Carpets:  Must be cut into 4’ wide sections and rolled up into bundles no larger than 2’ in diameter. No more than 1 room at a time.  Carpet rolls must be tied or taped.

Construction Material:  Contractors are responsible for removing and disposing of construction material. Small amounts will be collected for homeowners, limited to 2 containers per week.

Electronics:  No electronics in the trash. Electronic Dropoff is at the landfill in Florence, or check the Burlington County website for scheduled pick-up dates. TVs must be taken to Goodwill or the County Landfill (609-499-1001) for recycling.

Grass Clippings:  Can be placed in the trash for routine pickup. It needs to be put in trash bags (half full), NOT in 96-gallon totes. Grass clippings are not to be mixed in with leaves during the fall.  Leaves cannot be picked up with trash but must be separated for collection.

Large Trash Items:  We will accept one large item (such as wooden furniture) each day. If you have anything metal, please call to be on the list.

Mattresses  Must be placed in mattress bags (available at hardware stores) to avoid bed bugs. Queen and King sized mattresses should also be folded in half and tied.

“Move-Outs”:  We do NOT pick up trash for “move-outs.” If you are moving and have a lot of waste, you must contract for a dumpster. Large amounts placed at the curb will NOT be picked up. Apply for a dumpster permit with the Construction Office.  

Wood/Fences:  These must be cut into 4’ or smaller lengths and tied—only 3 bundles at the curb per week.
