A few reminders


With the deck project completed please remove any items under your deck, no one will say a word about a hose under the deck but garbage cans, storage containers, coolers, tiki torches, pallets, boats, tables, chairs, propane tanks, bikes, tools and toys should be removed immediately from the property and/or stored inside the house.   The upcoming hurricane and winter seasons reminds us that blowing debris is a safety hazard and it’s an aesthetic issue.  So it is essential that all items be removed ASAP. 


 
In order to follow New Jersey law there are no LPG, propane or charcoal grills allowed in the community.  Electric and properly installed and permitted natural gas grills are allowed.  Please follow the law and remove all non-compliant grills promptly.  In addition no propane tanks are allowed on Island Gate property or in the house. 



Garbage pick-up (grey cans) is Tuesday and recycling (blue cans) is Wednesday.  Once a month bulk items are collected, bulk items are collected on the second Monday of the month.  Bulk items left out will be sent a violation note and potentially fined.  We are in zone 2 so bulk collections are the second week of the month

 Here are Stafford township’s rules;


Bulk trash (mattress, box spring, furniture, plastic toys etc. must be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. on the Monday morning of the collection week assigned to each zone.

Be sure to separate bulk items from recyclable items left at the curb for collection.

Stafford Township does not collect carpeting/padding at the curb, kitchen cabinets, boats (cut up or otherwise), rock, concrete, tile, soil, construction debris or propane tanks.

Additionally “The Electronic Waste Management Act” has banned the disposal of “covered electronic devices” which include televisions, computers, monitors and portable/laptop computers. Please call the Southern Ocean County Recycling Center at 609-978-0913 for proper drop off instruction.

Grass clippings, hay and garden debris are to be bagged and placed into the automated trash container for normal trash collection.



Thanks in advance for your cooperation
