The Township Council & Mayor held a special Riverside Park Flooding meeting on January 31st. We thank the engineers, staff, and residents for sharing their input and concerns. CLICK HERE for presentation.
Representatives from the NJ Blue Acres were present. We encourage those residents interested in the Blue Acres program to seek more information here https://dep.nj.gov/blueacres/.
The American Red Cross, Burlington County, and Delran Township have set up a free distribution of clean-up kits for the Riverside Park section residents on Monday from 10am until 2pm (while supplies last). Once the supplies have been exhausted, we will take names and addresses to provide supplies to assist in flood cleanup. This is limited to Delran residents who were impacted by the flooding this week in the Riverside Park section of Delran.
Earlier today, Mayor Catrambone declared a state of emergency here in Delran. This allows us to work with other levels of government so Delran has access to all available resources.
How to Report an Outage with PSE&G should it be needed with Storms:
Branch Collection: Branch pickup occurs from April 1st to October 2nd. All branches must be curbside by October 1st for the final collection October 2nd. (Curbside refers to branches being in the area between the curb and the sidewalk.)
Branch Collection follows the same route as the leaf collection map provided above, however takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks to run a full cycle for branch collection. Once your branches are collected, you should not put out another pile for at least 3 weeks.
The specifications for branch collection are as follows:
Branch or limb sizes are limited to a maximum of 8’ long and 4” in diameter and should be stacked in the same direction. No pile of yard trimmings bigger than 4 Cubic Yards or 12’ Long x 3’ High x 3’ Wide will be picked up.
Yard trimmings must be:
Uncut and left at full length and stacked with ends facing the same direction.
Free of leaves or vines mixed in the pile.
Piled in a neat and manageable condition.
Placed between sidewalk and curb. Yard trimmings may not be left in the street due to the State’s Stormwater Management rules.
Tree Stumps will not be collected. Stumps and old firewood can be brought to Public Works from 7:00am to 2:30pm (Summer Hours: 6:00am to 1:30pm). Residents can also request to have stumps picked up by Public Works for a fee of $25. Please call Public Works at 856-461-7737 to schedule a stump pick up.
Unlike branch collection, we have 3 leaf trucks out at the same time. Please place your leaves out and allow two weeks or less for the trucks to reach your neighborhood. They will be out collecting until leaf season is over.
All leaves should be placed in the street next to the curb. Leaf piles should ONLY contain leaves. Other yard debris cannot be picked up by the Leaf Vacuum Truck.
Please be conscious of leaves that are on or near stormwater inlets. Public Works will do its best to clear these inlets. However, If you feel inclined to clear leaves from the area near your stormwater inlet, it would help with any clogged inlets.
Residents can drop off branches and tree limbs year-round Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 2:30pm (Summer Hours: 6:00am to 1:30pm) in or next to the wood dumpster at the Public Works yard behind the municipal building.
Below is the map for BRANCH collection only regarding schedules, requirements, and specifications:
Please do not put leaves in your trash bins. BAGGED leaves may also be dropped off at the Public Works yard year-round Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 2:30pm (Summer Hours 6:00am to 1:30pm) and every 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month 8:00am to 12:00pm.
