Stolen totes will need to be reported to the Bound Brook Police Department. Once reported and proof is provided, a new tote will be issued to the reporting address at no cost. If your tote is damaged by the Borough or causes not due to neglect by the resident, then a new tote will be issued at no cost. However, if it is determined that damage was caused by the resident, then a new tote will be issued at a cost of $75.

Bulk items may be placed out at your curb for your regularly scheduled collection day. However, you must purchase bulk stickers in the amount listed on the attached list. Stickers are required for anything that does not fit into the garbage tote – including extra bags.
