Trash & Recycling

From Memorial Day to Labor Day:
Trash pickup is every Monday and Thursday. After a holiday, pickup will be the following day.
Recycling is every Friday. All recycling materials must be separated from the trash.
Please take note of the town’s waste collection schedule: Toms River Garbage & Recycling Schedule

All garbage must be placed in plastic trash bags inside a trash receptacle with a secure lid.  This prevents seagulls from tearing through plastic bags and spreading debris. Cans must be rolled out to the end of your driveway by 7:00 AM on pick-up days. On Mondays, the OB3 Street Grader is scheduled for 12:00 PM, so please make sure to bring your trash cans in off the street before noon.

Please help keep our community clean. Revocation of Ocean Beach & Bay Club privileges is at the sole discretion of OB3 Security.
