Township: Hurricane Debris Pickup is Completed

Material still left won't be collected by the Public Works Department.

Warren Township issued a statement noting the township's program to pick up debris from October's Hurricane Sandy has ended. Here is the statement released:  

"Due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy that invaded New Jersey on Oct. 28, the Township Committee authorized the Department of Public Works to collect debris and brush from all Warren Township residents.

"The collection process began on Nov. 13. Residents were advised they must adhere to specific instructions before Public Works would clean up debris from the storm. Residents were also advised that if debris and/or brush did not meet those criteria, debris would not be picked up. In addition, the debris was to be picked up one time only and Public Works would not revisit a street once already there.

"Due to the major undertaking this project entailed, the Township Committee recognizes and appreciates the Department of Public Works for their hard work, patience, and organization in performing this major storm cleanup.
