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.
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.

Trucks will NOT return for materials placed curbside after 7:00 AM.
