Rolloff Container/Dumpster Rental
The fee for municipal property maintenance dumpsters has increased to $400 per rental. This fee increase is strictly to cover the actual cost to the Township of such a container rental. If the tipping fee of the dumpster exceeds the $400 rental fee, the renter of the dumpster is responsible to pay the overage.
Residents may rent a 30 cubic yard Property Maintenance Dumpster for seven days. Use is limited to disposal of personal property household items generated by a major cleanup or in preparation for transfer of ownership. Container is intended to eliminate need for curbside pick up of large piles of refuse.
These dumpsters are not to be used to dispose of concrete, asphalt, brick, masonry, stone, soil, garden timbers, and construction materials or from debris produced by work which requires a permit. Call DPW at (732) 297-1134 for further details or to schedule the rental of a dumpster.
