Spring Lake Borough's Grass: Cut it and leave it program: The Borough does not accept any grass clippings at the curb or recycling center. Improve the health of your lawn and save money by cutting the grass and leaving the clippings on the lawn. Grass clippings are a natural fertilizer, help retain moisture, reduce weed growth and soil erosian. By recycling grass clippings you save the cost to transport the grass clippings to composting facilities. A 5,000 square foot lawn produces 2,000 pounds of grass clippings per year.

For safety's sake, we cannot allow any resident to scavenge from the containers. Other towns have reported serious injuries and in one case a fatality occurred from people trying to retrieve articles from containers. If you accidentally drop or discard something, please see an attendance for assistance. After you have emptied your containers, please exit the facility in a timely manner. This will limit the wait time for those entering the facility.
A Borough Issued Decal is required to use the Reclamation Center. Decals are available at the Borough Clerk's Office for Spring Lake residents only and are issued to the property owner only. Landlords must pick up the sticker(s) for their tenant(s).
