Ewing Township collects residential vegetative materials to be composted, mulched and recycled into organic materials that will be diverted from landfills and save tax dollars on disposal fees. Recycling vegetative debris is the law and the right thing to do. Please help do your part by preventing any trash from getting mixed into your curbside collection that will contaminate the organic materials in this process. When in doubt, throw it out in your trash can!

Bio-degradable yard bags are available to residents at the Department of Public Works, 136 Scotch Road, M-F 7:00am-3:30pm and on Saturdays 7:30am-2:30pm from March thru October. Please call 609-882- 3382 to check for availability before making the trip

If a large storm passes through our area and causes significant tree and brush damage, a special collection for storm debris will be announced by the mayor.

Ewing is required to follow the latest stormwater regulations from the State of New Jersey. We also want to do our part to keep our waters clean. Keeping our storm drains clean will reduce help to reduce pollution. Leaves in the roadway also impede traffic and are especially a hazard during wet weather. We anticipate that the new Zone collection schedule which provides loose leaf pickup every other week in November and December (with five separate collections during that period) should be sufficient to meet everyone’s needs while enabling Ewing to meet new State of New Jersey requirements. Should it be deemed necessary, additional pickups may be held in October and January.

All items must be placed by the road by 6AM on your scheduled day to ensure collection. Items should be placed out no earlier than sundown the night before your scheduled day.

Stormwater permit regulations identify grass clippings as a large source of pollutants to surface waters. Grass clippings cannot be collected, stored or processed without specific NJDEP approvals. Ewing Township and the NJDEP strongly urges residents to mulch grass back into their lawns, however, grass may be bagged in plastic and landfilled of with your weekly trash collection. Please only use this method as a last resort option, the costs associated with grass disposal are significant and will ultimately be a tax burden passed on to residents.

Recycling yard waste keeps valuable resources out of landfills and puts them back to work creating healthy soil.

We ask for your patience. Please keep in mind that the schedule is affected by holidays, bad weather, possible equipment breakdowns, and the sheer volume of the debris being collected. As a last resort you may call 609-882-3382.

The pickup schedule is always weather dependent and is normally the day after your garbage pick-up from March through the end of October. To keep our storm drains clear, ensure better water quality, and to comply with NJDEP environmental protection guidelines, please keep brush and yard waste away 10’ from the storm drains! Yard waste must be in compostable paper bags or containerized. Brush (branches and limbs) may be loose or containerized but should not include whole trees, tree trunks, or branches exceeding six inches diameter and cut into no larger than four-foot leng

Ewing Township does not provide loose leaf or yard waste collection to any commercial, institutional establishments and apartments / HOAs.

Please call the Ewing Township Department of Public Works at 609-882-3382 for further information. They will be able to determine tree ownership for you. [Cutting of trees on commercial properties is restricted by Ewing ordinance See Township of Ewing, NJ Tree Removal and Replacement (ecode360.com)
