On certain Saturdays between April and October, residents can drop off bulk items at Holmdel Township's Public Works Yard for disposal. The large item drop-off service is funded by the township.
This past weekend a large amount of material was illegally left outside the gate at Dept. of Public Works, according to Superintendent Jeff Smith.
Illegal dumping and littering is in violation of township ordinances.
"The Township is taking a strong zero tolerance position towards illegal dumping and urges residents to help spread the word," said Smith in a press release. 'It is the responsibility of residents to dispose of bulk items appropriately, and individuals who violate Township Ordinances will be fined."
He noted that security cameras will be installed to catch people who dump items.
The municipal budget has been balanced year after year with magic tricks and spending cuts. The magic tricks have been used up, taxes have been raised but the spending is still being cut. Spend less, get less.
This service is provided on the 2nd and 4th Saturday during the months of April, May, September and October. There is only one drop off date in the months of June, July and August. The dates are as follows: April 14, 28, May 12, 26, June 9, July 14, August 11, September 8, 22, October 13, 27.

Holmdel First Aid is not having a garage sale this year and therefore not accepting items for donation. We share the same real estate with DPW and as a result are often left 'gifts' by people with good intentions. Its hard to respond to your emergency in a timely manner when there's an old large TV blocking our ambulance door.. :) Thank you, Mike Nikolis, President Holmdel First Aid
The other town I lived in they were terrible. Couldn't even get them on a phone
