ATTENTION

NO BEACH BUGGY ACCESS FOR THE 2013 SPRING SEASON

The Borough of Beach Haven will not be allowing beach buggy access to it’s beaches for the 2013 spring season. With the continuing weather systems creating northeast wind patterns we continue to lose much of what we repair.

As of now there is still equipment working on the beaches trying to repair the dune system, however without any vegetation or fencing the dunes that are being created are extremely fragile.

All of Beach Haven’s beaches are open for walk on access to anyone who is looking to surf fish, however you may find that your “favorite” spot on any given day may have limited access if that area is being worked on.

The Borough of Beach Haven will likely be looking for volunteers to help plant the dunes in the fall, anyone that would like to be added to the list of people that will be contacted for this project please contact the Beach Haven Public Works Department at publicworks@beachhaven-nj.gov and provide a contact number. This project should help add some stability to the dune system and hopefully help provide for the long term access to the Borough’s beaches.

Regards,

George Gilbert

BHDPW Superintendent

THE BOROUGH IS NO LONGER PROVIDING SAND DISPOSAL.

SAND MUST BE DISPOSED OF PROPERLY BY THE HOMEOWNER OR A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. THE BOROUGH HAS AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING IMPROPER DUMPING OF SAND AND DEBRIS.

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND CONTRACTORS IN BEACH HAVEN

Storm, Demolition and Construction Debris Removal: (Jan. 18th, 2013)

Effective immediately the borough will not be responsible for the pickup or disposal of storm related debris. Property owners will be responsible to hire a private contractor for disposal of excessive debris.

The borough had been removing all storm debris through a FEMA approved county contract. This option has ended and any further debris removal would likely not qualify for FEMA reimbursement.

In an effort to assist property owners the borough will however continue to pickup “bulk trash”, but these items need to be kept within the six can limit that is enforced for household garbage collection. Therefore property owners will be able to place on the curb any combination of six items, this can be in cans, bags, or bundles but must conform to the boroughs 40# weight limit and 4’ bundle size. Furniture can be placed at the curb as well but shall be counted in the six item limit.

If a property cannot stay within these guidelines but does not have enough debris to require a roll off container the borough has been authorized to distribute 3yd bagsters from Waste Management. Property owners can receive the bagster at the borough hall during regular business hours, and then follow the directions of Waste Management for collection which can be found at http://www.thebagster.com/products/collection_fees_details.aspx. Bagster pick-up must be scheduled by the property owner with Waste Management.

Any electronic items, brush, or items made primarily of metal will also be collected by the borough as listed on the boroughs trash schedule. These items should be kept separate from any other trash that is placed on the curb and will not count towards the six items.

The following items will NOT be picked up:

  • Automotive Waste (oil, antifreeze, etc)
  • Paint, Stain, Solvent Cans
  • Pesticides and/or Herbicides
  • Tires
  • Batteries

Property owners can contact the Ocean County Recycling Center for options on disposal of the items listed above at 609.978.0913

To view additional trash and recycling information see the schedule as posted on further down on this page.

If you have any questions please call or email public works department at 609.492.2525 or publicworks@beachhaven-nj.gov.
