The Garbage contractor has resumed bulk pickup so furniture and carpeting can be placed at the curb with regular household waste on the second pickup of the week. Construction and demolition debris will not be picked up by the Garbage contractor. Dumpsters should be used for this material moving forward. Public Works will resume its regular leaf pick up, and will continue after December 3rd to pick up vegetative debris and limbs when placed at the curb in conformance with normal regulations.

The Borough of Oceanport thanks residents for their support of these efforts, and for working with the borough to complete this unprecedented clean up during a very difficult month.
