No single Gloucester County truck collects your trash. Under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-20 the county runs the solid-waste district plan, while curbside pickup is arranged town by town — Deptford collects weekly by automated tote, Washington Township runs three separate trucks.
Every address in Gloucester County sits inside a municipality — New Jersey has no unincorporated land — so collection is municipal, not countywide. Deptford Township runs weekly single-stream pickup using a 64-gallon automated tote, with trash and recycling on the same Monday-through-Thursday schedule set by address. Washington Township splits the waste stream into three carts — trash, recycling, and yard debris — each collected by its own truck. The county's role, under the Solid Waste Management Act, is to adopt and maintain the district plan routing all this waste to the Gloucester County Solid Waste Complex in South Harrison Township.
Letting solid waste accumulate instead of arranging approved municipal collection violates local health codes and the district plan adopted under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-20, exposing an owner to municipal court fines and abatement.
