How to ensure that All Your Refuse and Recycling is Collected?

  • Refuse will only be collected using your Burgmeier’s cart. Bag all regular household trash to avoid spillage during collection. You may place other items directly in the cart.
  • Leave 3 ft on all sides of the cart. Place your cart away from mailboxes, trees, garage doors, car, your recycling bin, and any extra bags.
  • Do NOT place your cart beneath a tree or tree branches to avoid damage to your and the township’s tree.
  • Do NOT Park your car directly in front of you or your neighbor’s cart. Do not place your cart behind a parked car.
  • Extra bags beside the cart will be collected for $4 per bag. If you have small items you need to dispose of, bag those or place them directly in your cart.
  • Items that do not fit in your cart or in a bag must be scheduled for bulk collection.
  • Wood/Lumber in your cart must be in lengths no more than 2ft (otherwise it will bind up the compactor)
  • Place your paper and paperboard for recycling in bags or in a paperboard box (like a cereal box) and place that in your red recycling bin.
  • Flatten all corrugated cardboard and place it under your red recycling bin. Do not wedge it between your refuse cart and your bin.
  • Go to www.crcog.net/refuse for contact details, guidance on scheduling bulk waste collection, and items excluded from weekly refuse collection.
