Hoboken Parking, Street Cleaning, Other Changes Announced For Holiday Weekend

HOBOKEN, NJ — The city of Hoboken said that municipal offices will be closed on Good Friday, and street sweeping will be suspended that day as well.

"All other parking regulations, including meters, remain in effect," the city said.

Hop shuttle service will be suspended that day through the weekend. It will resume a regular schedule on Monday, April 21.

Waste collection, including paper recycling, cardboard, metal furniture, appliances, e-waste, and yard waste, will occur as regularly scheduled, the city said.

Waste must be placed at the curb after 7:30 p.m. Thursday, in the residential area for early morning pickup on Friday, the city said.

"Residents must remove all doors from refrigerators, washers, dryers, and ovens, as well as tie branches and put grass and leaves in paper bags," the city said. "Paper bags for yard waste can be picked up for free at the Hoboken Recyling Center at 1501 Madison St. Paper and cardboard recycling must be dry, flattened, and bundled in cardboard boxes, tied with string, or placed in blue covered bins.

"As a reminder, garbage must be placed at the curb in a bin with a tight-fitting lid and weigh no more than 50lbs. Garbage containerization was implemented to help mitigate rodent activity."
