ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP EXPANDS BULK REFUSE PICKUP
PROGRAM TO INCLUDE CARPETING

ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP (2/02/06) - Aberdeen Township has expanded its program for the pickup of bulk household items to include carpeting.

Under the revised program, residents can arrange, by appointment, for the curbside pickup of carpeting and other covered items by calling the Township's trash hauler Marpal at (732) 542-2348 and specifying the type of item they want taken away. Along with carpeting, covered items primarily include major appliances, furniture and plumbing fixtures.

The items must be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before the pick up date. Bulk items cannot be put out in advance.

The bulk pickup program does not apply to building materials or other debris associated with renovation, expansion or repair projects, or clean-outs of homes or apartments undergoing a change of occupancy. Homeowners desiring to dispose of these items have several options: request that their contractor cart away the materials; transport the items on their own to the Monmouth County Landfill on Shafto Road in Tinton Falls (call the facility at 732-918-0142 for further information); or contact any carting company listed in the Yellow Pages to privately arrange for a dumpster and associated removal service.
