Single-Stream Recycling Means

You may mix all recyclable materials into the one 64-gallon wheeled cart provided by the Township, there is no need to separate materials or even tie-or-bag newspapers.

Resident Rewards Based Program Means

You can earn rewards based upon the weight of the materials you recycle. The wheeled cart is embedded with an identification chip that is recorded while the collection truck weighs the cart. RecycleBank measures your recyclables and awards you points that may be redeemed for rewards at hundreds of national and local businesses or may be credited to non-profit organizations. You may call RecycleBank at 1-888-727-2978 or visit their web site to learn more about the rewards program or to activate your personal rewards account.
