You can get a sticker like this at the recycling dump on Heck Avenue in Neptune, near the cemetery and the Middle School.

Grovers have small gardens, but somehow they produce sizable amounts of yard waste which is defined as leaves, garden plants, and weeds. And if you are pruning or picking up branches, those would also be picked up, unless the branches are too large for the containers. In that case, you have “brush,” and that is collected once per month.
The yard waste is collected twice per month and must be put out in reusable containers from June -October. No grass clippings are allowed. And no waste in plastic or biodegradable bags will be accepted.
There are 4 zones in Neptune. Two are in Ocean Grove: Zone B (north of Main Avenue) and Zone C (south of Main Avenue.) Zone B pickup occurs on the 2nd and 4th full weeks of the month. Zone C is the 1st and 3rd full week of the month.
You put the waste at the curb on Sunday night for collection by Friday of your collection week. Extra pails and stickers are available at the recycling center.
If you are as flabbergasted as I am, then don’t despair, even though these instructions are more complicated than some medical procedures.
So the Neptune DPW has a solution to help us Grovers cope with the yard waste pick-up schedule. But you really should get a calendar girl:
THE COASTERS: “YAKETY YAK.”
