Town stops church trash pick-up

From North Jersey-

As the July 15 cut-off date for commercial garbage collection in Rutherford grows closer, borough businesses have had since March to prepare and find outside contractors. But the administrators of local churches were surprised recently when they discovered that the cessation of collection would include them as well.

In March, the borough decided that it would reduce residential garbage collection to once-a-week and cut commercial garbage collection entirely, a decision that took many business owners by surprise and that prompted the Rutherford Downtown Partnership to start looking into finding a contractor that could cover the district’s businesses. At the request of business owners and the RDP, the council ended up postponing the cut-off date twice, moving it back to July 15.

Many church representatives said they didn’t realize the commercial cut-off applied to them as well until they received the DPW’s May 29 letter recommending business owners choose from among three preferred contractors.
