| POLICIES AND SAFE PRACTICES FOR PLACING ITEMS AT THE CURB FOR REMOVAL |
There is a maximum weekly limit of one 96 gallon receptacle per household.
The weight of your receptacle must not exceed 300 lbs.
Bulk, Bulky and receptacles placed at the curb for collection should not be placed in the vicinity of mail boxes or vehicles.
Trash receptacles must not be allowed to collect rain water. Trash container lids should be kept closed to avoid allowing the container to collect water. Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. It substantially increases the costs of disposing of the trash thereby wasting your tax dollars.
Medical waste such as needles should not be placed curbside for collection.
Wood debris must have the nails either bent over or removed to minimize the potential for puncture injuries.
Pool chemicals must not be placed at the curb for pick up as they can present a toxic fume, fire and explosion hazard that can risk the health of not only the sanitation workers but also for the surrounding public. Pool chemicals can be properly disposed of at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority. For more information please call the ACUA at 609-272-6950 |
