Montclair Still Picking Up Items Damaged In Hurricane Ida

MONTCLAIR, NJ — Crews have picked up storm-damaged items on most Montclair streets in the wake of Hurricane Ida. But for now, collection still continues, officials said Monday.

According to an advisory from Montclair township:

“Department of Community Services (DCS) crews, as of this morning, have collected storm-damaged items on most township streets. They will continue collecting these items, along with regular bulk waste, according to the normal bulky waste collection schedule. Crews will be in Section 1 on Wednesday, Sept. 15, collecting storm-damaged items and regular bulky waste. As each street is cleared, the date of collection and the street will be noted, and crews will not return to that street for any further collection of storm-damaged items. Should additional time be required to cover all streets in Section 1, crews will return on Saturday, Sept. 18 to complete that section, again noting down the date and street where storm-damaged items were collected. DCS crews will cover Section 2 on Wednesday, Sept. 22, following the same protocols set out for Section 1.”

Once the special collections have been completed and all township streets have been covered, DCS will resume normal bulky waste collection schedule and policies, officials said. They include:

• Section 1 – bulky waste collected every first and third Wednesday; Section 2 – bulky waste collected every second and fourth Wednesday.
• Three bulky waste items will be collected per household – see the acceptable items list on the township website
