Pennsauken’s Public Works To Collect Yard Debris On May 9

By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor

Due to South Jersey Sanitation’s failure to collect the town’s yard debris this week, Pennsauken’s Department of Public Works will be doing the job themselves on Sunday, May 9.

A social media post from the Township and its Department of Public Works stated, “South Jersey Sanitation was permitted to collect Wednesday’s (May 5) Yard Debris today, Saturday, May 8,  due to manpower shortages due to COVID exposure/contraction among their staff. The Pennsauken Department of Public Works was informed late this afternoon that South Jersey Sanitation could not get manpower in today to meet their obligation to Pennsauken. The Township is committed to providing quality services to its residents and will hold this consistently underperforming contractor financially responsible. The remaining Yard Debris from Wednesday’s collection will be collected tomorrow, Sunday, May 9, by Pennsauken Department of Public Works personnel.”

Public Works asks that those who did receive collection on Wednesday hold onto any new yard debris for next regularly-scheduled collection, so that they can focus on residents affected by South Jersey Sanitation’s performance failures.

To report a missed yard debris collection, residents are asked to email publicworks@twp.pennsauken.nj.us.
