DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Telephone:  201-568-0242

The Department of Public Works is responsible for road repairs, sewer and storm drains, parks and playground maintenance, collection of leaves in the fall, collection of household garbage,  snow removal, salting and sanding and street sweeping.

It is mandated that all vehicles be removed from the street when it is snowing in order that our plows may have clear access to the roads.

Recycling is mandatory. Pickup will be on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday North of Palisade Avenue and on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday South of Palisade Avenue. There is no recycling pickup on the 5th Wednesday of any month. Recyclables must be curbside prior to 8:00 a.m. on collection day. At present the Borough is collecting newspaper, magazines, advertising mail, corrugated cardboard, plastic containers, aluminum cans, and glass. Aluminum cans, plastic containers, tin cans and glass may be put in the same container. Glass must be separated by color.

2011 recycling pickup dates are listed here on the Borough calendar and on this downloadable list. Please refer to this listing of recycling program information for more detail on preparing your waste material for removal.
