Large item stickers can be purchased from the Treasurers Department at the Township Hall. It is $6.00 for the first ticket per year, the Township subsidizes the rest of the fee for the first ticket. When you purchase additional large item stickers they are $12.00. The Township staff will help you determine how many stickers you will need. Place the item or items out with your garbage on your regular scheduled garbage day with the sticker where the garbage person can see it and they will take it away. Carpet will only be taken if it is rolled up and tied with duct tape or heavy twine. There is some special care that is needed for items with Freon in them such as refrigerators. Please call the Township Hall and we will instruct you further. STICKERS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
