Township Storm Debris Collection to End in February

After end date, homeowners will be responsible for removing debris

Homeowners on the Toms River mainland who still have storm debris have about a month to schedule a township pick up before its removal becomes their responsibility.

Pick up by Toms River Department of Public Works will cease at the end of February, the township has announced. Regular storm debris collection on the mainland ended on Jan. 27; from now until Feb. 28, debris pick up will be done by request only, according to the township. 

Residents can schedule a pick up by emailing the Public Works department Deputy Director Anthony Benyola with their name and address.

"All storm debris becomes the homeowner's responsibility after that date," the township said in a statement.

Commercial garbage pick up ended. We have to get our own private haulers, I used Crown carting. 973-277-2604, Vinny helped me out.

Commercial garbage has been removed in Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette. Why not Ortley? Because unfortunately we are part of Toms River. What a shame.

Great story! Glad to hear your on your way back. Also happy to see someone else noticing that inRead More some places it still looks like Sandy hit yesterday. Some mayors might consider that "complaining".
