Survey Asks Hazlet Residents If they Want Trash Pickup

HAZLET, NJ — Hazlet officials put out a survey to gauge residents' interest in having the township provide municipal trash collection.

The survey asks residents to share information on their current waste collection habits and to give their opinions on whether they would be interested in having the town provide trash pickup.

The governing body wants to save residents money by negotiating the best service at the lowest price with one garbage company for a contracted period.

Trash collection would be offered twice a week with a monthly bulk waste pickup.

Officials are also looking to decrease the wear and tear of roads, improve public safety and limit collections to weekdays after 7 a.m.

The survey can be completed online here or in person by picking up a paper survey at the information booth in Town Hall. Only one should be submitted per household.

The deadline to complete the survey is Oct. 22.
