Delanco adopts new brush pickup ordinance to allow twice-monthly collection
Summary
The Delanco Township Committee approved Ordinance 2026-12, keeping existing size limits but changing curbside brush collection to twice a month; the measure passed on a unanimous roll call and goes into effect according to township ordinance timelines.
The Delanco Township Committee voted to adopt Ordinance 2026-12 on Aug. 3, 2026, which leaves existing diameter and size limits unchanged but alters the pickup schedule so curbside brush is collected twice per month rather than once.
Mayor [title only] explained the practical effect of the change: "What this ordinance actually does is allow the brush to be collected twice a month rather than 1 time." Committee member Bartlett moved the ordinance and another member seconded; the roll call showed all members present voting yes.
The ordinance is a second reading by title only; no public comments were offered during the hearing. Township staff said the schedule aligns brush pickup with residents' recycling weeks and that the first twice-monthly collection will begin the week of Aug. 10. Residents with questions were directed to the township office for timing and dimension specifics.
Because the rule keeps the dimensional limits intact, the township emphasized that private common-area maintenance and trimming is not restricted by the ordinance change and that the policy is intended to improve convenience for residents rather than to alter allowed trimming practices.
