Let's Keep Boonton Clean!

We hope you have noticed the new garbage cans added to Main Street. A total of 25 single or double cans are now along Main Street and are collected four times a week. These garbage cans are specifically designated for pedestrian-generated waste and recycling only. It's crucial to note that they are NOT meant for household garbage. Household garbage is picked up twice a week on Main Street and should be in placed in occupant-owned garbage cans. Your cooperation in adhering to the garbage ordinance, full text found here, is immensely appreciated. Let's continue to foster a clean and inviting environment for residents and visitors alike.
