Keith LambRecycling Coordinator

On trash day, place your recycling container and cardboard adjacent to your trash cans at the curbline, but not so close that the container is difficult to see or reach. The Township alsocollects other recyclable items such as leaves, asphalt, concrete and wood waste. Any questions regarding recycling practices should be directed to the Public Works Recycle Office at856-845-4004, ext. 128. RECYCLING IS THE LAW!

GRASSCYCLINGGrasscycling is a simple and natural approach tolawncare. Clippings are left on the lawn after mowingto decompose quickly, releasing valuable nutrients backinto the soil. Grasscycling has many benefits: it savestime, money and the resources needed to pick upand handle the clippings for composting or landfilling.When practiced in conjunction with proper lawnmanagement, grasscycling can reduce water andfertilizer requirements, mowing time, and disposal costs.

STEPS TO GRASSCYCLING

• HIGH: Cut the top 1/3 of the grass blade and leave theclippings on the lawn

• DRY: Mow when the grass is dry to avoid trackingand clumping

• BYE: To the bag. Any lawnmower can grasscycle. Allyou need to do is remove the bag. Some lawnmowerswithout a safety flap to cover where the bag fits thechute may need adapter kits or retro-fit kits. Kits costaround $20.00. Mulching mowers are also availableand do a fantastic job.

• WHY: The EPA estimates the combined sourcereduction potential of grasscycling and compostingof yard trimmings to be 18.3M tons, or 8.8% of thetotal national solid waste stream.
