Jackson Township officials are asking residents to weigh in on the future of the township’s residential recycling services as they evaluate options for the coming year.
The township’s current recycling contract has expired and includes an option for a one-year extension. Mayor Jennifer L. Kuhn and the Township Council are considering whether to renew the existing agreement or seek a new vendor, with an eye toward potentially reducing costs for residents. The current provider is seeking an increase of nearly $70,000 for the next year.
Before making a final decision, officials say they want to hear directly from residents about their experiences with the current biweekly recycling program, including whether they are satisfied with the level and reliability of service.
“Our goal is to ensure that Jackson residents receive reliable, cost-effective recycling services. We want to hear directly from those who use the service,” Council President Mordechai Burnstein said.
Residents are encouraged to share feedback on any aspect of the program, such as pickup consistency, communication, and overall satisfaction. Township officials say that community input will play an important role in guiding the council’s decision on whether to extend the existing contract or move to a different provider.

We have no problem with the recycling service. From our perspective. It appears to be very reliable. The cost of labor and vehicle maintenance is rising and the cost of the constract,understandably, would be expected to rise as well. We do appreciate the townships leadership considering all options to conserve costs.

Go out to bid,see what numbers come back. If this vendor is close to the other offers then keep them. If they are way more expensive,try a new vendor. You can always hire the previous vendor if things don’t work out.
Do they have friend or relative they want to give the contract to? It would not surprise me if me

Get new bids. I have been missed a few times this year. I have the schedule. I don’t get paid to do my job most of the time. I am counted to do it all the time.
Recycling is a warm and fuzzy make you feel good waste of time and money
I am happy with our recycling collectors. They are really good with our residential area. Our area is clean.
I have never had a problem they never miss a pickup I’d be careful before changing get prices all around and haggle like it was your own money
