Trash Not Picked Up?

Your trash is picked up by a private hauler which is Gold Medal Environmental. Please patient with Gold Medal if they run a day behind. We will not issue violations for trash being late, as we are notified when this occurs. For any problems with your trash/recycle pick-up please call 609-457-0938.

Trash & Recycling Regulations

The Recycling Center Hours   |   Sunday - Friday 7am - 1:45pm

2024-2025 permits will be mailed.
Anyone seeking a new permit can show proof of residency to the City Clerk’s Office or at Public Works.

The City will collect your recycling as long as it is properly separated from trash:
A) Cans and bottles must be in a rigid container not to exceed twelve (12) 32 – gallon receptacles (maximum weight – 50 pounds per receptacle) OR four (4) 96 – gallon receptacles.
B) Recycling must be free of trash.
C) The City of Wildwood is Single Stream Recycling.
D) Shredded paper or arcade tickets must be placed out for recycling in bags, preferably in clear plastic bags.
E) T-Shirt decals are not recyclable: neither are hangers
F) Soda boxes must have plastic liners removed.

OTHER REMINDERS

Cooking oil should not be poured on the ground or into drains. There are companies which will provide a drum to store oils, and they will collect the grease for you. The City does not pick up oil or grease.

The City does not collect demolition or construction debris. If you are doing any remodeling, you must make arrangements with your contractor to dispose of these materials. You may also take these items to the Cape May County Municipal Utility Authority (MUA) transfer station in Burleigh or the landfill in Woodbine. There are private haulers who will remove these items for a fee. If you have a lot of these materials, we suggest that you get a dumpster from a private hauler.

Restaurants are required to cover their garbage cans with lids to keep out seagulls and other animals. You must have enough trash and recycling containers for the needs of your business. Do not sweep dirt from your store onto the Boardwalk.

REMINDER TO LANDLORDS OR CONDOS, APARTMENTS, HOUSES OR MOTEL UNITS:
Tenant(s) should be given trash and recycling information. You are responsible for providing receptacles in each unit. In case of any violations, the landlord or owner will be held responsible. This is your only warning, any violation will be ticketed.

Reminder to Mercantile Licensees
All Commercial businesses must follow the same trash & recycling regulations as residents!
