- One recycled aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours, or to light one 100 watt bulb for 20 hours.
- Each person uses approximately one 100-foot tall Douglas Fir tree in paper and wood products each year.
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste is anything that presents immediate or long-term risks to humans, animals, plants, or the environment.
The Township’s Contract Hauler is not permitted to collect hazardous material. Hazardous waste requires special handling for detoxification or safe disposal, and will not be collected by the township's garbage hauler.
In the U.S., hazardous waste is legally defined as any discarded solid or liquid that:
- Contains one or more of 39 carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic compounds at levels that exceed established limits (including many solvents, pesticides, and paint strippers);
- Catches fire easily (such as gasoline, paints, and solvents);
- Is reactive or unstable enough to explode or release toxic fumes (including acids, bases, ammonia, and chlorine bleach); or
- Is capable of corroding metal containers such as tanks, drums, and barrels (such as industrial cleaning agents and oven and drain cleaners).
The Township’s Contract Hauler is not permitted to collect hazardous material.

Leaves
Leaf Collection Guidelines (Fall Collection Only)
Leaves are collected approximately between the last week of October through January 1st. All leaves should be placed curbside during this time.
Do not put leaves out with trash for garbage collection.
- Please be sure leaves are free of sticks and limbs to facilitate the process.
- Place leaves in a neat row at the curb, not in the road.
- Do not place leaves on sidewalks. Doing so creates a serious hazard for children walking to school, as well as makes an unsightly condition in your neighborhood.
- Do not mix brush, branches, or seed pods with leaves. Leaves mixed with brush will not be collected.
- Leaves only. Grass clippings are not accepted curbside or at the Recycling Center.
- Place leaves at the curb no more than 1 week prior to your scheduled collection date. See the public works calendar for your neighborhood's collection dates.
- Residents are responsible for leaf removal after the scheduled pick up occurs.
- Under recently amended regulations, the Department of Public Works is also authorized to remove improperly disposed materials and assess the cost of removal and disposal against the responsible resident.
