BOROUGH TO COLLECT TRASH IN ALL NEIGHBORHOODS* BEGINNING JANUARY 6TH!
Beginning Monday, January 6, 2025, the Borough will begin collecting trash across our entire community! We’ve successfully negotiated early termination of Republic’s contract, and the Borough is now prepared to collect all of our trash including weekly curbside collections, and bulk on a monthly basis.
For the past year we’ve successfully collected trash in the Riverfront, and then ZONE 1, improving service for those residents and saving thousands of dollars in the process. Beginning with the new year we will bring substantially better service to all neighborhoods while saving our taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars!
For curbside trash (green carts) your collection day will likely change!
THE NEW SCHEDULE BEGINNING JANUARY 6TH IS AS FOLLOWS:
MONDAY: ZONE 2 (south/east of RR tracks, from south side of Cinnaminson Ave to Public Rd)
TUESDAY: ZONE 1 (south/east of RR tracks, from Lincoln Ave to north side of Cinnaminson Ave)
TUESDAY: THE RIVERFRONT
WEDNESDAY: ZONE 3 (north/west of RR tracks, from Elm Ave to Delaware Ave)
THURSDAY: ZONE 4 (north/west of RR tracks, from Delaware Ave to Route 73)
Trash will continue to be collected in the RIVERFRONT every TUESDAY!
* NOTE: THERE IS NO CURBSIDE TRASH COLLECTION IN THE HARBOUR, WILLOW SHORES, OR RIVERVILLAS COMMUNITIES. PLEASE CONTINUE TO USE THE TRASH CONTAINERS PROVIDED.
There are no schedule changes planned for bulk trash collection.
Please refer to your magnet, which provides all of the information you’ll need including zone descriptions. There will also be updated information posted here on our website and you are always free to call Borough Hall at 856-829-6100 and speak to our staff, BUT, the best way to receive current information is by downloading the PalmyraNJ App on the Google Play or Apple App Stores.
Look for the Borough’s new high-tech and super sharp refuse trucks on your street, INCLUDING A BRAND-NEW RED ONE! Our trucks are operated by our new Sanitation Department led by Borough resident Shawn Gerbe along with longtime resident Jon Petitte – great guys and neighbors for sure!
Please remember the new trash collection schedule begins Monday, January 6th!
