OTHER REMINDERS:
Cooking oil should not be poured on the ground or into drains. There are companies which will provide a drum to store oils, and they will collect the grease for you. The City does not pick up oil or grease.
The City does not collect demolition or construction debris. If you are doing any remodeling, you must make arrangements with your contractor to dispose of these materials. You may also take these items to the Cape May County Municipal Utility Authority (MUA) transfer station in Burleigh or the landfill in Woodbine. There are private haulers who will remove these items for a fee. If you have a lot of these materials, we suggest that you get a dumpster from a private hauler.
Restaurants are required to cover their garbage cans with lids to keep out seagulls and other animals. You must have enough trash and recycling containers for the needs of your business. Do not sweep dirt from your store onto the Boardwalk.
REMINDER TO LANDLORDS OR CONDOS, APARTMENTS, HOUSES OR MOTEL UNITS:
Tenant(s) should be given trash and recycling information. You are responsible for providing receptacles in each unit. In case of any violations, the landlord or owner will be held responsible. This is your only warning, any violation will be ticketed.
Reminder to Mercantile Licensees
All Commercial businesses must follow the same trash & recycling regulations as residents!
