Dear Resident/Property Owner,
Due to drastic decreases in State and Local Aid, City administration must look for every area to trim costs and meet budgetary constraints. Unfortunately, some of these hard choices fall into the area of City services. As one component in the City's plan to cut budget expenditures, the City of South Amboy will revert to one (1) time per week trash pickup effective September 7 th , 2010.
Please refer to the trash collection map which outlines the areas to be collected each day.
