As residents enjoy the summer season’s long, warm daylight hours, the Lakewood Department of Public Works (DPW) has extended the hours of operation at its trash drop-off site.
Now through late September, residents can drop off trash on weekdays (Monday-Friday) from 7:30 am until 7:00 pm, four hours later than during the rest of the year. Saturday and Sunday hours remain the same, from 7:30 am until 3:00 pm.
The drop-off site is located at DPW Headquarters, 1 America Avenue, near the intersection of Cedarbridge and New Hampshire Avenues. Virtually all forms of bulk trash – including wood, metal, electronics, etc.- are accepted at the site. (Non-accepted items include construction material, paint and other hazardous material.)
