Teaneck requires residents to use covered containers, place bins curbside no earlier than the evening before collection, retrieve them within twelve hours after pickup, and follow mandatory recycling separation rules.
Teaneck Township residents must store solid waste and recyclables in rigid, watertight, covered containers between collections to prevent rodents and odor. Containers may be placed at the curb after sundown the day before collection and must be removed from public view within twelve hours after pickup. The township operates curbside recycling under New Jersey's Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act, requiring separation of paper, cardboard, glass, metal, and certain plastics. Yard waste, leaves, and bulk items have separate scheduled pickups with placement restrictions.
Violations of bin storage and placement rules carry fines from $50 to $500 per occurrence under the property maintenance code.
