Mahwah Township provides twice-weekly municipal curbside garbage collection year-round under Ordinance 1193, with specific zones, materials, and container standards set by the Department of Public Works.
The Township of Mahwah's solid waste ordinance establishes a municipal curbside collection program operated by the DPW. Single-family and qualifying multifamily households receive twice-per-week pickup throughout the year on assigned routes. Acceptable household waste must be in covered containers or properly secured bags. Construction debris, hazardous materials, and commercial-volume waste are excluded and must be hauled privately. Missed collections should be reported to DPW at 201-529-3344. Multifamily complexes may be required to contract privately depending on unit count.
Setting out unacceptable materials, using uncovered or oversized containers, or repeated illegal dumping can result in summonses with fines under the local solid waste ordinance.
