Garbage Collection & Recycling

Recycling is mandatory in New Jersey. It is requested that all Housing Complex residents follow these steps in order to maintain compliance. Please contact Andy Compton (,) ext. 8230, of the Housing Maintenance Office with any questions.

• Garbage should be placed inside the green bins which contain two trash receptacles. These green bins are located near each building. Garbage will be collected on a regular basis.
• Metal, glass containers, and plastic items are to be placed in the grey recycling receptacles which are located next to the green bins.  They will be collected as needed.
• Newspapers, magazines, and mail order catalogs should be bundled and placed near the grey containers. Unwanted cardboard boxes may also be placed in this area for pick up.

Cooking grease, oils, or food waste should not be poured down the sink since doing so can cause major plumbing problems for all apartments in the building. Grease and oils should be collected in separate containers and placed with the other garbage in the green bins. We also ask that paper towels and personal hygiene products not be flushed for the same reasons. They should be wrapped and placed with the garbage.; Thicker brands of bathroom tissue can also cause plumbing problems.; It is recommended to purchase thinner brands to avoid clogs to the plumbing system.

Fire Safety

Each apartment is equipped with a fire extinguisher.  For your personal safety and the safety of others, please do not remove batteries from the smoke detectors that are installed in your apartment.  Please contact Andy Compton (,) ext. 8230, of the Housing Maintenance Office with any questions.
