Trash Collection & Recycling*
Trash and Recycled materials are picked up once weekly year-round. Trash collection is automated and all trash must be put out in a blue Voorhees Township trash cart with white arrows facing the street. Trash may be out between 4pm the day before and 6am the day of collection. Carts are available in 95 gallon and 65 gallon sizes and may purchased from Voorhees Township.
Recycleables are to be put out in the yellow recycle containers that are available from Voorhees Township. Recycled materials are picked up once weekly year-round on the same day as trash collection.
Bulk trash is picked up once a month on the third week of the month. All bulk trash may be placed curbside for removal. Bulk items consist of furniture, mattresses, carpet, excess trash etc., BUT NOT hazardous material, construction and/or remodeling debris.
Leaf Collection & Snow Removal *
Voorhees Township collects leaves curbside in the fall. Next year’s dates will be posted at designated times in the Voorhees Sun newspaper, on the Voorhees NJ web site and channel 19. Signage will also be posted by neighborhood entrances and exits.
Depending on the duration and amount of snowfall, Voorhees Township trucks may plow your street several times. As the snow rolls off the plows, it sometimes accumulates in driveway aprons. Please understand that this is unavoidable and it is the homeowner's responsibility to clear it. In the event of heavy and deep snow, please shovel around your mailbox and fire hydrants near your house. This is for your safety as well as your neighbors.
