Special Notices

Effective October 1, 2025, Burlington Township will contract with Shackleford's Disposal for Township wide trash collection.

By contracting with Shackleford's Disposal, this will allow for lower price rates on trash disposal for residents. This will also minimize the amount of wear and tear on the township roads.

Keep an eye out for a mailing and invoice (Oct - Dec) from Shackleford's Disposal.

The last collection from Waste Management will be Sept. 24, 2025, and they will begin to collect their toters if you rent one.
