Office Hours:

Overview:

The Public Works Department is responsible for the collection of garbage, recycling and the maintenance of public roadways and storm drains. A fleet of trucks and equipment maintained at the Public Works garage enables us to provide these services. Public Works also has a Clean Communities Division funded through the State of New Jersey to help keep the roadsides clean. Other services include street sign installation, snow plowing, paving, leaf collection, brush collection, repair of township bulkheads and emergency response within the Township of Toms River.

Toms River Township Recycling Convenience Center

Open Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Recycling Convenience Center usage is limited to two times per month, per residence.  The Recycling Convenience Center is closed Sundays and holidays except the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Township residents, showing proof of residency, may use the Toms River Township Recycling Convenience Center on Church Road to dispose of excess garbage and trash, deposit recyclable materials and obtain free wood chips and leaf mulch. Only vehicles less than 8,000 lbs. and no larger than a pickup trucks or commercial vehicles are permitted. Residents are permitted two loads/visits per month unless you are dropping off leaves, brush, tree trimmings or picking up mulch or wood chips.

Residents will be permitted to bring no more than two 35-gallon containers of construction/demolition debris to the Recycling Convenience Center two times per month. This debris must be placed in containers so that the quantity of material can be readily identified by the yard attendants. If such debris is not containerized, it will not be accepted. Should you have larger quantities of construction/demolition debris to dispose of, it must be brought to an approved landfill such as the Ocean County Landfill on State Highway 70 in Manchester Township by the resident, contractor, or licensed trash hauling company.

This policy is designed to prevent large quantities of contractor-generated debris from being accepted by the township and paid for by taxpayer dollars.

Paper Shredding Dates
Ocean County Recycling is sponsoring paper shredding at the Recycling Convenience Center at 1672 Church Road.  2012 dates are not available yet.  There is no need to make an appointment for this service. Please bring I.D. showing proof of residency when you enter the recycling yard.
