A free recycling program
operated by Burlington County is in force within the Township on a bi-weekly
basis. Clean, unbroken glass bottles and jars, aluminum cans, and #1
and #2 plastic containers are recyclable items and can be commingled in the
same recycling bucket/container. Containers are available at the Municipal
Building. The first container is free and additional containers can be
purchased for $7 - $16 depending on size. Newspapers, magazines,
office and school paper and clean gray-colored cardboard boxes can be placed
in the blue paper cart. All recyclables must be placed at
the curb by 6:00 a.m. on pick-up day. Motor oil can be disposed of
behind the Municipal Building in a tank for that purpose. For
Chesterfield Township Residents, tree branches, leaves, grass clippings and
Christmas trees can be disposed of in clearly marked areas at the Municipal
complex between the Municipal Building and the recreation facilities.
Recycling is the Law. Residents, tenants, landlords, businesses and schools MUST recycle.
