Taking into consideration the resounding success of last season’s leaf collection, we now strongly recommend the use of compostable brown paper bags to all residents.

By using compostable brown paper bags everything placed curbside for leaf collection can now be recycled thus eliminating the use of any non-compostable items in leaf collection. This increases efficiency in collections, is overall better for the environment and helps keep Toms River Township clean.
