Weekly Trash and Recycling Collection Begins Monday, April 7th

Dear Homeowners ...

We will begin weekly trash and recycling pickup beginning on Monday, April 7th. We will continue weekly pickups on Monday only until Memorial Day. (Friday pickups will start on Friday, May 30th.)

Just some quick reminders --

All household trash should be bagged and not placed loosely in trash cans.  Large bulk items such as construction debris, indoor and outdoor furniture, appliances, TVs, mattresses, box springs, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, large rolls of carpeting, etc. CANNOT be left "on the curb" or in or around our dumpsters.  You can bring bulk items home or to the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (www.cmcmua.com) Transfer Station on Shunpike Road which is the road leading to Home Depot.  

Recycling should be placed loosely in a designated recycling container or bin.  This includes cans, glass and plastic bottles from food, beverages, health, beauty, and cleaning products as well as paper, junk mail, and clean cardboard. No food-stained pizza boxes, please, or items with mixed plastic and metal such as strollers and toys or containers from hazardous materials such as insecticides, herbicides like RoundUp, anti-freeze, or paint. Cardboard boxes should be broken down and placed into or next to your container.  

Per the Cape May County Recycling Program,

• Remove the caps and lids for bottles, jars, and jugs and place them in the trash.
• Empty the contents and rinse them before placing them into your recycling container or the dumpsters.
• Papers and cardboard should be kept dry. Keep a lid on your recycling container and close the lid on the dumpsters.

Please DO NOT place your recyclables in plastic bags. If you bring up your own recycling to the dumpsters and it is in a plastic bag, empty the contents of the bag into the recycling dumpster and throw the plastic bag in the trash dumpster.  

Please take note of the items that Cape May County recycles as it may be different from what you are used to recycling at your permanent residence.  

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
OSC Board ​
