Special Bulk Pickup For Hurricane Ida

Dear Fellow Residents,

As we all know, Hurricane Ida caused a tremendous amount of damage within a very short period of time. Homes were flooded and precious items were lost. The storm may have destroyed, among other things, large items and bulk waste. I am working closely with the Public Works Department to help. Over the next few days, please do your best to get any bulk items out on the curb. I know it may be hard for some residents to get all their bulk waste out immediately. That is why starting tomorrow, Friday September 3rd through September 24th, the Public Works Department will continuously send out trucks to pick up your bulk items and large waste that was damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Ida. 

As always, my office and I remain ready to assist you any way we can. Please feel free to call me directly at 908-474-8493 with questions, comments, concerns, or just to say hi.

Yours Truly,

Mayor Derek Armstead
