Policy & RegulationsSummonses can and will be issued to residents not complying with these regulations.

• Yard Waste Removal — Residents/landscapers are not permitted to put or leave debris in roadway. This results in clogged catch basins which will cause flooding as well make the Borough streets look unsightly.

• Snow/Ice Removal — The shoveling or throwing of snow upon a public thoroughfare or street is expressly forbidden. In the event the Borough shall incur costs for the removal of the snow from the public thoroughfare, such costs shall be charged against the owner of the real estate from which the snow was dumped or thrown upon the public thoroughfare.

• Trimming of Borough Trees — Residents are not permitted to cut, prune, disturb the roots, or remove any Borough tree. Requests for such work should be written and sent to the Department of Public Works. Trees located in the right of way (between the curb and the sidewalk) are town trees. The Westwood Shade Tree Ordinance (ord. sec. #8) states that no one shall prune or remove a town tree without permission. Neither the tree nor their roots can be trimmed or ground without the DPW’s permission. Only 5 trees can be cut down per year on a homeowner’s property. Failure to adhere to the ordinance can result in a resident being fined (ord. #14). Residents wishing to plant a tree in the right of way should call the DPW or the Shade Tree Committee for a list of the approved tree (size and species). These are the only trees permitted to be planted in this area. Shade Tree telephone number is (201) 664-7100, ext. 149.

• Garbage and Recycling must be put at the curb, not before 6:00 p.m. the night before pick up, or by 6:30 a.m. of the scheduled pick up day. Garbage cans cannot be left curbside after pick up. When planning a move you are still limited to putting out only 6 ITEMS at a time.

Due to stricter regulations, there is now an oversupply of recyclables at the domestic mills in the U.S.A. and Canada and not enough market demand for certain types of materials. As a result the Borough’s recycling marketer will not accept the following:

• Plastics numbered 3, 4, 6 or 7

• Plastic bags, including, shopping bags, garbage bags and Ziploc bags

• Plastic film wrapping, including garment bags

• Styrofoam of any kind

• Rigid plastics such as toys, crates, lawn furniture

• Hoses

• Pesticide containers

• Frozen microwave trays or food platters, even if stamped 1, 2 or 5

• Wax cardboard boxes

Policy & Regulationscontinued

In addition, the Borough’s marketer will not be able to accept shredded paper. Unfortunately, the above materials must now be placed in the trash or recycled by using other alternatives. If they continue to be put in curbside recycling, they will be rejected by the marketer, sent to a landfill for disposal and the borough will be charged a disposal fee greater than what we currently pay to dispose of our own garbage.

Single stream Recycling continues to include all allowable paper/cardboard all allowable commingled recyclables put out together for recycling collection every Wednesday.

A Guide to Healthy Habits for Cleaner Water

Pollution on streets, parking lots and lawns is washed by rain into storm drains, then directly to our drinking water supplies and the ocean and lakes our children play in. Fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste, grass clippings: You name it and it ends up in our water.

Stormwater pollution is one of New Jersey’s greatest threats to clean and plentiful water, and that’s why we’re all doing something about it.

By sharing the responsibility and making small, easy changes in our daily lives, we can keep common pollutants out of stormwater. It all adds up to cleaner water, and it saves the high cost of cleaning up once it’s dirty.

As part of New Jersey’s initiative to keep our water clean and plentiful and to meet federal requirements, many municipalities and other public agencies including colleges and military bases must adopt ordinances or other rules prohibiting various activities that contribute to stormwater pollution. Breaking these rules can result in fines or other penalties.

Limit Your Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides• Do a soil test to see if you need a fertilizer.• Do not apply fertilizers if heavy rain is predicted.• Look into alternatives for pesticides.• Maintain a small lawn and keep the rest of your property or yard in a natural state

with trees and other native vegetation that requires little or no fertilizer.• If you use fertilizers and pesticides, follow the instructions on the label on how to

correctly apply it.• Make sure you properly store or discard any unused portions.

Properly Use and Dispose of Hazardous Products• Hazardous products include some household or commercial cleaning products, lawn and

garden care products, motor oil, antifreeze, and paints.• Do not pour any hazardous products down a storm drain because stormdrains are usually

connected to local waterbodies and the water is not treated.• If you have hazardous products in your home or workplace, make sure you store or dispose of

them properly. Read the label for guidance.• Use natural or less toxic alternatives when possible.• Recycle used motor oil.• Contact your municipality, county or facility management office for the locations of

hazardous-waste disposal facilities.

As a resident, business, or other members of the New Jersey community, it is important to know these easy things you can do every day to protect our water.

Keep Pollution Out of Storm Drains• Municipalities and many other public agencies are required to mark certain storm drain inlets

with messages reminding people that storm drains are connected to local waterbodies.• Do not let sewage or other wastes flow into a stormwater system.

law. And remember to: • Use newspaper, bags or pooper-scoopers to pick up waste. • Dispose of the wrapped pet waste in the trash or unwrapped in a toilet. • Never discard pet waste in a storm drain.
