Place your bins / containers at the curb once a month, on your scheduled day during the recycling weeks highlighted on the calendar.

Place bins at the curb no earlier than 7:00 PM on the night before and no later than 6:00 AM on the day of collection.

 

Bins / Containers: Elizabeth Township has provided you with two bins for each household, and they remain the property of the Township and must be returned when you move. Those bins can be continually used, but if you do not have enough room for all of your recyclables, please feel free to use your own container or bag as long as it is clearly marked “recycling” and placed on or near your current recycling bins. Containers and bags must be no larger than 30 gallons. With commingled recycling, it is no longer necessary for you to segregate glass, aluminum and plastic from each other. You may combine your recyclables in a single bag or container if the bins provided do not provide enough capacity.
