Storm Debris Clean-up in Manalapan May Take Months

Manalapan Township has suffered from considerable tree damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy and the Nor'easter, according to a statement issued by the local municipal government.

The Manalapan Public Works Department is working hard to clean up the storm debris, which may take months to complete, the statement said. 

All storm damaged trees, branches, brush, and limbs should be placed at the curb for collection. It is vital that this debris is not in the street as that may be hazardous for drivers.

Leaves and brush can be brought to the Manalapan Recycling Center by residents, also. The Recycling Center is located at the Public Works Yard at 207 Route 522 and is open during the week from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the first and third Sunday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon.

Leaf pick-up will return to normal, being collected curbside in biodegradable compost bags every Monday throughout November and December.
