BULK DISPOSAL SERVICE UPGRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

Bulk Disposal Service Upgrade Announcement
On behalf of the Mayor and Council, I am very pleased to announce that, beginning in January, 2019, the Borough will be replacing our bulk drop off program with a curbside bulk pickup program. The Governing Body is making this change as part of an ongoing effort to increase services to our residents.  
 
Fair Haven residents will no longer have to load up their vehicles with bulk trash and bring it to our Department of Public Works facility.   Instead, once a month, from January through October, residents can simply place bulk trash items at their curbside and they will be picked up at no charge.  This option is only offered to residential properties! 
 
2019 CURBSIDE BULK PICK UP SCHEDULE 
Trash Zones 1 & 2 will be have bulk pickup on the first Monday of the month, from January through October. (Please refer to the MunicIpal Calendar for any modifications to the scheduled dates.)
Trash Zones 3 & 4 will have bulk trash pickup on the second Monday of the month, from January through October.  (Please refer to the MunicIpal Calendar for any modifications to the scheduled dates.)
 

Please follow these very important guidelines:
· All bulk items shall be placed behind the curb or edge of pavement and not in the street.
 
· Appliance disposal will require prior scheduling through the main office (732-747-0241, ext.*219). There will be a $15.00 fee for the appliance disposal sticker, which must be placed on the appliance.  Refrigerator doors and large coolers must have the door or lid removed when placed at the curb.
 
· E-waste disposal (TV, Computers, Game Stations, etc.) will require prior scheduling through the main office (732-747-0241, ext.*219). E-Waste items must be separate from other bulk items and please place smaller e-waste items in a separate container.
 
· No trash bags will be accepted for Bulk pick up.
 
· All metal items must be placed in a separate pile.
 
· Bulk pickup will be limited to what, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, is a reasonable amount of bulk, not to exceed what would fit into a small pickup truck. There will be no full basement cleanouts or whole house move outs.
 
· No construction debris will be picked up, including: cabinets, flooring, plumbing fixtures, drywall, yard fencing or large swing sets.
 
· There will not be a Bulk Pick Up during November and December, as our DPW crews are dedicated to extensive leaf collection
