An automated trash container is assigned to every address and must remain at that address. The container is the responsibility of the homeowner, but the property of Stafford Township. If the home is sold the trashcan must remain with the property. Only this container should be utilized for trash collection.

Requirements
Do not use this automated trashcan as a recycling container.
Do not paint or mark the container in any way.
Place Automated Trash Container with Wheels toward Curb by 6 a.m. on Collection Day.

Each can is registered and recorded with a serial number and no other identification is necessary. The automated trash container can be washed with water and a mild detergent.

Replacements & Repairs 
Please notify the Stafford Township Police Department if the can is stolen. The serial number of the missing trashcan will be required for the police report. If the serial number is unknown, it can be obtained by calling the Public Works Department. 

Additionally, if your automated trash can is in need of repairs (i.e. lid pin, wheel or axle) please contact us and we will repair or replace the can. This repair policy is in effect for purchased cans as well as assigned automated cans.

Additional automated trash cans can be purchased at the Public Works garage Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 320 Haywood Road, Manahawkin. The cost is $70 each. Please pay by check (made out to Stafford Township) or have exact change available.
