Special Brush Collection In Effect For Lawrence After Storm

LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ — The brush collection requirements for zone pick-ups in Lawrence Township are being temporarily suspended after the storms that hit the region this week, officials announced.

Residents in all zones will be permitted to place yard waste at the curb for collection with the understanding that all items placed at the curb must meet the size limitations set forth by the township.

This means tree branches shall be no greater than six inches in diameter and no greater than three feet long. No tree stumps will be collected.

For the purposes of this special storm collection, the length of the yard waste pile will be increased to 25 feet for the next round of collections only. The exemption is in effect through July 3, and will expire in each zone after collection takes place.

Material longer than 25 feet long can be disposed of at the ecological center located at 3701 Princeton Pike, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
