Spring has just arrived and warmer weather leads to yard work. The Voorhees Township
Public Works Department is assisting in this chore by offering spring leaf collection, as well as
vegetation and yard waste removal. Signs will be posted at the entrance of each development
prior to the scheduled leaf collection week.
Curbside spring leaf collection is offered with two options: Place loose leaves curbside the weekend before your scheduled collection week or keep your leaf piles free of branches and twigs that can clog the recycling machine.
Spring leaf collection will occur from Monday through April 11 for all residents who have a
Tuesday trash day; from April 14 through April 18 for residents who
have a Wednesday trash day; April 21 through April 25 for those who
have a Thursday trash day; and April 28 through May 2 for those who have
a Friday trash day.
The second option is for residents to place leaves in cans or brown bio-degradable bags and set curbside Sundays after 4 p.m. and prior to 6 a.m. on Mondays, for township-wide pickup in one to three business days. Leaves cannot be placed in plastic bags, as they are not bio-degradable and will not be
accepted at the county compost site.
Vegetation and yard waste removal will occur starting on Mondays and continue during the
course of the week. Branches should be a maximum of 4 feet long. Smaller twigs, plants and
grass can be placed in bio-degradable bags or cans and placed curbside by 6
a.m. Monday. Keep all yard waste separated from loose leaves. The collection will be within
one to three business days.
For larger-than-normal amounts of non-hazardous household trash being discarded from
attics, garages, etc., Voorhees offers bulk trash pickup on the third full week of the
month on your scheduled trash day. This spring, the bulk trash weeks will occur April 21 through
April 25 and May 19 through May 23. Construction debris will not be collected. For questions
or additional information, call (856) 428-5499.
