Up to 3 bulk waste items may be place out on your second scheduled trash pickup day. Bulk items must be affixed with one sticker per twenty-five pounds or as per the schedule below.  The weight of the items listed in this schedule are estimated weights formulated by the Department of Public Works. If any item not on this schedule is being placed for collection, the person placing the item should estimate the total weight of the item (in pounds) and divide that figure by 25 to arrive at the number of stickers required for that item. Any person unable to estimate the weight of an item may call the Department of Public Works at 732-681-0452 or email DPW@belmar.com for an estimate. Please see the below schedule which indicates the number of stickers required for each bulk item.

The environmentally sound management of hazardous waste helps protect human health and the environment. Some of these products include paints, stains, varnishes, cleaners, polishes, automotive products, pesticides, and herbicides. The used or leftover contents of these products are often referred to as “household hazardous waste” and require special care to dispose of them.  Improper disposal of household hazardous waste can include pouring them down the drain, onto the ground, into storm sewers, or putting them out with the trash.

The facility limits residents to 20 gallons of liquid or 200 pounds of dry material per visit. Liquid containers limited to 5-gallon size maximum. Solid packages limited to 50lb. weight maximum.

To ensure pickup of the brush (during the appropriate season) it must be loose at the curb no later than 7:00 A.M. on the Monday morning of the collection week and no earlier than the Friday before collection. If the brush is in bags or any other container it will not be picked up.

Please note: Grass clippings are to be mulched and left in your yard. Residents who utilize a private landscape service, the contractor is responsible for hauling away yard waste and trimmings from the property. This is not a tree or wooden fence removal service. In case of any emergency repairs please do not cover any utility caps.

 

 

Leaf Pickup

The purpose of the leaf collections program is to help alleviate the abundance of leaves that will cover the street and clog the storm drains. It is not intended to be a lawn service that ensures all your leaves will be collected from your lawn. We will do the best we can with one pass down your street.

Leaves are picked up, weather dependent, in October, November, and December.  This is a voluntary program, residents preferring to compost leaves or dispose of on their own property, may do so. Leaf pickup is subject to change. Residents should rake their leaves into the curb lanes for collection.

Public Works offers these tips for successful leaf collections:

• Leaves must be raked and put into a pile curbside prior to collection.  
• Bagged leaves will not be accepted.
• Please do not rake leaves into the roadway, as this obstructs drainage.
• Do not put leaves in plastic bags - empty them into the curb lane. Leaves are composted but plastic bags do not decompose
• Do not put any brush or branches in the leaf piles. Keep these items separate between the curb and sidewalk.
• Keep piles 1' into the street, away from the curb. This helps ensure the equipment can collect all of the leaves and protects the equipment from being damaged.
• Keep piles away from sewer grates, storm drains, and low hanging trees.
• Consider mulching leaves in place as an alternative way to handle leaves on your property.

 

 

 

Potholes

You can request pothole repair services by calling the Department of Public Works office at 732-681-0452 or by email at DPW@belmar.com. Please indicate the pothole location (i.e. address, intersection) and describe the severity of the problem (i.e. depth, width, number of potholes).

Snow Removal

The Snow Team clears streets of snow and ice to promote safe vehicular travel. Residential and commercial property owners are asked to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of a storm’s end so pedestrians can walk safely.

If the weather prediction indicates a significant accumulation of snow, the Mayor may declare a snow emergency, and parking will be prohibited on streets that are designated as snow emergency routes (signs with red lettering are posted along these routes). This will allow the Snow Crew to clear the streets curb-to-curb. In general, rush-hour streets also are snow emergency routes.

An announcement of a snow emergency declaration will be made prior to the snow emergency going into effect to give motorists an opportunity to find alternative legal parking spaces. Once a snow emergency is in effect, vehicles parked along these routes will be ticketed and towed.

 

 

Beach Cleaning

The Belmar Department of Public Works provides safe, fast, and efficient beach cleaning 7 days a week throughout the summer season. We have daily Beach Crews in Gators seasonally from 6:00 am until 10:00 pm and additional Beach Crews cleaning the beach and street areas (when the time allotted down to B Street) from 6:00 am until 11:00 am. Our Beach Lavatories are open and attended from 9:00 am until 9:00 pm 7 days a week, weather permitting. Belmar Public Works also cleans the beaches daily throughout the summer season with a tractor mounted Bach Rake. By scooping and sifting out debris from the sand, this helps keep our beautiful beaches clean and free of seaweed, glass, shells, plastic, rocks, plus all sorts of debris and litter. Our Beach Rake has also been used to help clean up after Hurricane Sandy.

 

 

Marina

The Belmar Marina is one of the premier marinas along the Atlantic coast. Less than a half-mile from the ocean, with 7' mean low water depth, floating concrete docks, full security, and services, there is no better place to tie up. Only steps away from our town’s downtown and its many shops and restaurants, from casual to fine dining. Belmar’s magnificent beaches are a mere 8 blocks away—a short and easy walk that will take you through the residential neighborhoods of this quaint and beautiful town.

The Belmar Department of Public Works is also responsible for managing the Belmar Marina. From grounds maintenance to the boat slips, the Public Works works 7 days a week during the summer months to provide a clean and friendly marina experience. Recent projects completed by the Public Works includes the installation of the Diving Stairs and the complete construction of the new bathroom trailer, both located at Maclearie Park. The Dept. of Public Works also installed the Kayak Storage Racks by L Street Beach which has a limited amount of space available. We have a gate attendant working the boat ramp in the summer seasons who have tokens available for purchase. For more information on the Belmar Marina please visit the website by clicking here.

Street Sweeper

Belmar Public Works cleans our streets with a powerful Ravo 5 series sweeper weather permitting between March 15 and October 31. Our sweepers operate along residential streets where signs are posted restricting parking during street sweeping hours.
Public Works offers these tips for a successful street sweeping operation:

Pick up the litter, brush, and trash along your curb and around your property, rather than sweeping these items into the gutter which eventually end up in our river.
Residential property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks and tree box spaces around their property.
Use the street litter and recycling cans as you walk along the town's commercial streets. The litter cans are for pedestrian trash only, not household trash.
Avoid a street sweeping ticket by obeying the parking (No Parking Street Cleaning) signs along residential streets so sweeping can be effective.
Motorists are urged to obey the signs when parking in these areas during the posted overnight sweeping hours.
