Fines

Please do not transport trash or litter from outside our community into the Borough of Branchville.

Branchville Borough Code, 81-8 states: “No person shall bring any trash or litter from outside the borough limits, into the borough for the purpose of disposing thereof without the express consent of the Borough Council. All trash collected in Branchville must be created in the Borough.”

We do our best to control garbage amounts because it affects future contract prices. A fine of $500 or a jail term of up to 90 days, or both could be imposed for violation of this provision

Recycling Guidelines

Single stream recycling permits all recyclables (glass, plastic and metal containers, cartons, cardboard, newspaper and paper items, including Styrofoam) to be mixed together all in one container.

Liquids, bundles, plastic bags and mixed recyclables should not be put in the recycling collection.

Do not put recycling materials in garbage bags.
