Delivery Of New Trash Carts Delayed In Princeton

PRINCETON, NJ – The Municipality is expected to begin its new trash collection program in February.

Residents were scheduled to receive a 64-gallon trash cart under the new trash collection system. However, delivery of the trash carts has now been delayed, Municipal officials said.

So, if you have your old trash can, don’t dispose of it yet. Municipal officials have asked residents to continue using the existing trash bins until new carts are distributed.

The delay is mainly due to manufacturing issues, officials said. New delivery dates for the carts will be announced soon.
