Cherry Hill Expands Trash Collection In Wake Of Nor'easter

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Cherry Hill is expanding trash collection service to help with the massive cleanup remaining from Wednesday’s storm, the township announced on Thursday.

From March 12-26, Cherry Hill residents can call the Department of Public Works to schedule a special storm-related yard-waste collection. Township personnel will collect any yard debris residents can move to the curb, and normal weight and bundling restrictions will be relaxed. However, the township will be unable to move trees or large limbs from private property.

“We will only collect debris that has been placed at the curb, and cut to a size that can be handled by one person,” the township said in an announcement.

Residents must call 856-424-4422 to schedule a collection. Pickups will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. If a lot of residents express interest, it may take crews several days to respond to each request.

Yard waste that meets the township’s standard weight and bundling guidelines (cut to 4-foot lengths and placed in bundles no more than 50 lbs. each) may still be placed curbside for standard weekly collection.
