WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP
2016 - 2017 CIVIC & MUNICIPAL CALENDAR
WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE
Township Committee
The Township Committee is comprised of five members, the Mayor and four committee persons,
each of whom serves a term of three years. At the reorganization meeting in January, the Committee
selects one of its own to serve as Mayor. The Committee forms the legislative branch of the
Township government, developing and adopting ordinances which become the laws of our municipality.
The Committee exercises fiscal control of the community by adopting an annual budget.
The Committee holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise stated.
All meetings are held in the Municipal Building, 400 Crown Point Road, West Deptford, at 7:00 P.M.
The public is encouraged to attend. Citizens may contact their elected officials through
the Township Administrator’s Office at 856-845-4004, ext. 130.

Mayor’s Message
We are proud to offer the Township calendar again this year. I hope you find this to be a valuable resource for
Township information such as Township business hours, modified holiday waste collection schedules, and contact
information. Please take a moment to look through the calendar taking note of the important dates and fun
activities that are planned for the upcoming year.
In addition to the recycling fun facts throughout the calendar that we started last year, this year we have included
a removable recycling sheet for you to keep handy throughout the year to assist you with any questions you may
have about our recycling program.
The calendar also provides contacts for various civic organizations within the Township. These groups are a
strong component of West Deptford Township being a great place to call home. Their dedication and commitment
help meet the needs and demands of our residents. I encourage everyone to become involved in one of our many
civic and recreational organizations.
It’s an honor to serve you, the residents of West Deptford Township, and I look
forward to a bright future as the Township progresses forward. I will continue to
strive for a strong community relationship with resident involvement. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or the other members of the
Township Committee at 856-845-4004 extension 130.

WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Water and Sewer Senior Citizen Discounts
Shuttle Bus
Dog Licensing
In an effort to ease financial hardships experienced by
senior citizens on fixed incomes, the Township Committee
is granting a 10% discount on water and sewer bills to all
qualifying senior citizens. Contact the Water and Sewer
Department at 856-845-4004, ext. 104 to determine if you
qualify for this deduction.
West Deptford Township operates a shuttle bus for
Township residents. On Mondays and Fridays, trips are
made to local shopping centers, and Wednesdays are
reserved for trips to area malls. Special services for
wheelchair-bound residents are available. Contact the
Bus Driver at 856-371-3279 to schedule a pick-up
24 hours in advance. For further information on public
transportation services, contact the Gloucester County
Department of Human Resources, Office of Special
Transportation, at 856-686-8350.
An annual license is required for any dog over the age
of six months. Licenses are renewable each January.
A fee of $10.00 is charged for any dog which has been
neutered or spayed; the charge is $16.00 if the dog has
not been neutered or spayed. Proof of rabies vaccination
and spaying/neutering is required. Licenses may be
purchased at the cashier’s window in the Municipal
Building from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. weekdays. A free rabies
clinic for dogs and cats is held in the spring of
each year. Questions? Call 856-845-4004 ext. 105.
Sewer Problems
Construction Permits
If you experience a problem with your sewer, please
contact Township personnel first before calling a plumber.
We will respond immediately and repair the problem if
it is in the Township’s sewer line. If the problem is your
responsibility, we will advise you to contact a plumber.
Therefore, it is important that you contact the Sewer
Department first to avoid any unnecessary expense. If you
do have a sewer problem, stop using water and your toilet
until the problem is resolved so that you can avoid any
flooding damage to your house. During business hours,
call 856-845-4004, ext. 127. The emergency telephone
number for nights and weekends is 856-845-2300.
Township residents are reminded to call the Construction
Office at 856-845-4004, ext 121 before beginning any
home repair or construction projects to determine what
building, electrical or plumbing permits may be required.
The proper permit serves as protection against contractors
who may not follow mandated laws promulgated for
consumer protection and is also important for insurance
purposes. For your protection, before hiring a contractor,
make sure the business is certified by the State of
New Jersey. Please call first...it could save you money!
Senior Citizen Nutrition Center
The Thorofare Fire Hall houses a Senior Citizen Nutrition
Center sponsored by the Gloucester County Board of
Chosen Freeholders and supported by the West Deptford
Township Committee. Participants must be at least 60
years of age and a resident of Gloucester County. Meals
are served weekdays at 11:30 A.M. and a daily donation
of $1.25 is accepted. Pre-registration for this program is
required. For further information, contact the Gloucester
County Division of Senior Services at 856-384-6900.

WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP MATERIAL DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Trash Collection
• Trash containers shall be metal or plastic,
water tight, have handles, not exceed 32
gallons, and weigh no more than 50 pounds
when filled. Plastic bags may be used in place
of containers, but must not be overloaded or
ruptured. Metal drums and large, wheeled
toters are not acceptable. Five gallon buckets
are not considered a proper container for
trash and/or recyclables. It is not considered a
reusable container and will be disposed of.
Please secure trash from animals.
• All trash must be placed at the curb before
6:00 A.M. on trash day, but not before
6:00 P.M. on the day prior to collection. After
collection, any empty containers shall be
removed from the curbside promptly. Do not
park in front of trash containers or otherwise
block access to your trash on trash day.
• Waste that does not comply will not be picked
up until it is brought into compliance with
these regulations.
• Any trash or construction debris generated
by a contractor is the responsibility of the
contractor and homeowner. The Township
will not remove this waste, even if it is
placed curbside. Residents should insist
that the contractor use a dumpster and
private waste hauler for construction waste.

Gloucester County 2016 Household
Special Waste Collections
Rain or Shine 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM
household products containing toxic
chemicals, ammunition, oil-based paint,
pesticides, herbicides, turpentine, lighter fluid,
photographic and pool chemicals, rat poisons,
car batteries and other hazardous materials.
Branches / Brush / Yard Debris
Snow Removal
• Gloucester County sponsors six “Household
Special Waste” Collection days each year.
These items may be taken to the County for
proper disposal at those times. For additional
information, call the Gloucester County
Improvement Authority Office of Recycling
at 856-478-6045, ext.14
• Branches should be placed in a neat pile
at the curb and Public Works notified
at 856-845-4004, ext. 138. Residents should
make every attempt to give the Township
advance notice and try to limit the number
of special pick-ups required, particularly
in the spring when there is a large demand
for special pick-ups. Any trees or trimmings
generated by a contractor are the responsibility
of the contractor.
• When snow is expected, please make every
attempt to park vehicles in driveways or off
the street. We thank you for these efforts
which will aid in the prompt and efficient
removal of snow from our streets.
• Asbestos products are never to be disposed
of with your household trash. For information
regarding the disposal of asbestos related
products, contact the Gloucester County Solid
Waste Complex at 856-478-6045.
September 24 at the GCSWC • 493 Monroeville Road, South Harrison
October 17 at the GCRD • 1200 North Delsea Drive, Clayton
• Do not place large piles of brush, wood, or
concrete under overhead obstructions like
wires and trees. Do not place materials next to
fire hydrants, phone polls, or on top of service
boxes (sewer clean outs) on the ground.
Leaf Collection
• Lawn signs will indicate when leaves will be
collected in neighborhoods.
• In the Fall season, leaves will be picked up
on a continuous basis from the first week of
November through the last week of December.
Posters will indicate when leaves will be
collected in your neighborhood.
• In the Spring season, leaves will be collected
during the month of April on an as-needed
basis. May through October leaves must be
put in clear or biodegradable bags, or put into
a trash container. Please notify Public Works
at 856-845-4004, ext. 138.
• Leaves should be placed in the street at the
curb line, away from parked cars. Please
keep all tree limbs and branches out of the
piles so as not to damage leaf collection
equipment. Leave enough room in the gutter
to allow storm water to reach the catch
basins.
• If at all possible, wait to shovel your driveway
until the snow has been pushed back to
the curb-line of your property by Township
snowplows.
• Do not snow blow or shovel snow
into the street, as it creates hazardous
road conditions.
Special Pick-ups
• Furniture and appliances will be collected on
the same day as household trash. Any refuse
or building material generated by a building
contractor is the responsibility of the
contractor for removal. No exceptions!
• The Township will dispose of small amounts
of concrete. Please call Public Works for
instructions at 856-845-4004, ext. 138.
Hazardous Household Waste
• The improper disposal of household
hazardous wastes can cause problems for
the entire community. Some wastes are
toxic to humans or wildlife, while others can
cause serious heart problems. NEVER dump
hazardous chemicals down the drain or toilet,
on the ground, down catch basins or storm
drains where they could contaminate soil or
be carried into local streams and sources of
drinking water.
• Federal law allows only licensed hazardous
waste haulers to handle hazardous waste.
The Township will not pick up any hazardous
or combustible waste. Any product which is
labeled “warning, caution, poisonous, toxic,
flammable, corrosive, reactive or explosive”
is considered hazardous. This includes
• Please call the Public Works Recycle Office
at 856-845-4004, ext. 141 if you have any
questions regarding hazardous waste disposal.
Household Medication
• Keep medicine in original container. Mark out
personal information on prescription bottles.
• Mix liquid medicine with undesirable
substances like coffee grounds, cat litter or
dirt. Dilute pills with water, then add coffee
grounds, cat litter or dirt.
• Place bottles in an opaque container like a
yogurt container, and secure the lid, or wrap
in a dark colored plastic bag.
• Hide the container in the trash. DO NOT
recycle. DO NOT DISPOSE OF MEDICATION
DOWN THE DRAIN OR TOILET. Bring to
Municipal Police Vestibule for disposal.
Paint Disposal
Latex paint must be allowed to dry, or the
container filled with cat litter or sand to absorb
all the paint. Another technique is to pour the
latex-based paint into a paper box or bag
filled with absorbent material like shredded
newspaper to speed drying. When the paint
is dry or totally absorbed, the container
should be placed out with the trash for pick-up.
Do not place large quantities of paint cans out
for disposal.
Oil based paint is considered hazardous
waste and must be disposed of at one of the
Gloucester County Household Special Waste
Collection Days. For more information, please
visit their website at www.gcianj.com
WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP RECYCLING GUIDELINES
Troy DePrince
Recycling Coordinator
856-845-4004 ext. 141
WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP RECYCLING GUIDELINES
West Deptford Township has converted to Single Stream Recycling. This is a system which allows residents to mix all recyclable materials together in one or more containers.
All cardboard must be recycled. Large cardboard boxes need to be broken down and placed next to your recycling can. DO NOT USE CARDBOARD BOXES AS A TRASH CONTAINER.
On trash day, place your recycling container and cardboard adjacent to your trash cans at the curbline, but not so close that the container is difficult to see or reach. The Township also
collects other recyclable items such as leaves, asphalt, concrete and wood waste. Any questions regarding recycling practices should be directed to the Public Works Recycle Office at
856-845-4004 ext. 141. RECYCLING IS THE LAW!
Used Motor Oil Recycling
Township residents may deposit small quantities of used
motor oil, up to two gallons at one time, in the
oil recycling holding tank located at the Public Works
Garage on weekdays during the hours of
7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Call the Public Works Recycle
Office at 856-845-4004, ext. 141 for further instructions.

of battery. Please dispose of button batteries and
rechargeable batteries in these special receptacles.
Detergent, shampoo, bleach bottles, etc. without caps (narrow
neck containers)
Household non-rechargeable batteries can go in
regular trash, and we accept automotive and
marine batteries in our drop off area.
Recycling Containers
Recycling containers are available
for $10.00 at RiverWinds Community Center.
An alternative to purchasing an additional container
would be to use your own container on which you may
place a Township recycling sticker. These stickers
may be obtained at the RiverWinds Community Center.
If you move, please leave your container
for the next resident.
Please remove and discard lids. These containers need not be
rinsed of food waste or stripped of any metal parts. It is not
necessary to remove labels.
ACCEPTED MIXED RESIDENTIAL
PAPER FIBERS
NEWSPAPERS • MAGAZINES • CARDBOARD BOXES
MILK & JUICE CARTONS • PIZZA BOXES • CEREAL BOXES
GRASSCYCLING
Grass clippings are a major part of New Jersey’s municipal
solid waste stream. In fact, grass clippings make up nearly
a third of all summer waste handled by garbage haulers.
STEPS TO GRASSCYCLING
• Cut only the top 1/3 of the grass blade and leave the
clippings right on the lawn
• Mow when the grass is dry to avoid tracking and clumping
Please Don’t Litter!
Please Recycle!
• Keep your mower blade sharp
• No special equipment necessary. While mulching mowers
are available and do a fantastic job, ANY conventional mower
can grasscyle. Just remove the bag. In the case of a rear
discharge mower, the exhaust chute must be shut off. Adapter
kits or retro-fit kits are available for conventional mowers for
about $20.00.
E-WASTE
The following electronic items must be recycled: televisions,
computers, monitors, lap top computers, towers, cell phones.
When you purchase new electronic items, ask your retailer to
recycle your old items. Please call Public Works Department
to schedule a collection date.

West Deptford Historical Association
Co-Chairs: April Maska and Noreen Mikulski
The West Deptford Historical Association was founded in January 2001 with a mission to preserve and
share the rich history of our West Deptford Township. In cooperation with the West Deptford Free Public
Library, the Historical Association has dedicated itself to collecting and displaying the many historical
facets of our great community and making it available to our community who understand and value the
preservation of our deep past.
The Historical Association has had another successful year and is looking forward to sharing more
of our collections with the residents of West Deptford. The “West Deptford Book” has also been very
successful and we have sold dozens of copies. If you didn’t get your copy yet, Barnes and Noble carries
our book and there is always a few copies available for purchase at the West Deptford Library.
The Historical Association has many different displays about our Township that changes quarterly in
the Library and we can always be found at West Deptford Day where we share artifacts to our
visitors. Look for us…we will be glad to see you. Upcoming events that our residents can participate
in is our annual “Scarecrows On Parade” on RiverWinds Drive during the month of October, our
Annual “Great Pumpkin Event” held in the library, Christmas Lights Bus Tour and visit with Father Christmas held toward the end of December
from the Library and the “Holiday Wreath Display” on RiverWinds Drive during the month of December.
We look forward to hearing from residents who wish to share items and/or information about West Deptford’s Past. We welcome all articles,
artifacts, letters, pictures or anything else that you wish to share. All will be preserved for everyone to enjoy for years to come.
Meetings are bimonthly, the second Monday at 7:30 P.M. at the library. All are welcome and encouraged to come and share your treasured
memories. For more information, please call the Library information desk at 845-5593, April Maska: 845-1205 or Noreen Mikulski: 848-0395

WEST DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT
West Deptford Police Department
The men and women of the West Deptford Police Department are committed to
providing the highest level of police services to our community. We continue to
focus our departmental resources on providing a safe and secure environment
for residents and our business community. Our mission at the police department
is to provide high quality police services by promoting a safe environment
through police and citizen interaction, with an emphasis on integrity, fairness
and professionalism.
At the police department, we recognize that one of our most valuable investments
we can make is in our children. It is for this reason that we continue to work
closely with our schools. By assigning a school resource officer to the school
system, we can attempt to identify at-risk children. We will continue to provide
seminars and classes for students and parents concerning “Internet Safety” as
well as “Drug Awareness.” By doing this, we are investing in the future of our
community and providing a safe learning environment for our children.
The West Deptford Police
Department continues to
maintain specialized units such
as Detective, K-9, Bike Patrol,
Traffic Safety and Community
Policing. Our K-9 Unit has been
in operation since 2006 and
currently maintains a compliment
of three K-9 teams trained in
Patrol and Narcotics Detection.
The Bike Unit consists of fifteen
officers who have been trained in
negotiating police operations on
the Patrol Bikes. The Bike Unit is deployed at Community Events and in the
residential areas of the township during the evenings of Spring, Summer and
Fall. The Traffic Safety Unit addresses traffic safety concerns throughout the
township, assists residents with traffic complaints, and conducts child safety seat
inspections and installations. Our Community Policing Unit focuses on citizen/
police interaction with an emphasis on Neighborhood Watch. The Community
Policing officers are often asked to present to public groups regarding topics
such as Internet Safety, ID Theft, and Home Security.
Our Neighborhood Watch Program continues to grow throughout the township.
We have most neighborhoods in the township participating at this time, but still
strive to build and improve the program. We encourage all residents to become
involved in the program. If you are interested in obtaining information about
Neighborhood Watch or wish to participate in the program, please feel free to
contact Ptlm. David Jiles at [email protected].
The members of the police department will continue to review and evaluate our
current and future public safety concerns that may affect both residents and
businesses. The police department will continue to explore all avenues of federal
and state funding to bring the best and most innovative police services to the
taxpayers of West Deptford.
We welcome any suggestions and/or concerns from the community regarding any
public safety issue, and encourage you to call Chief Samuel DiSimone at the West
Deptford Police Department, 856-853-4599 ext. 157.

West Deptford L.E.A.D. Program
The West Deptford Police Department
proudly supports the L.E.A.D (Law
Enforcement Against Drugs) program by
teaching the Core Curriculum to the
5th grade students at the West Deptford
Middle School. L.E.A.D. is now the primary
administrator of the “Too Good for Drugs
and Violence” curricula in the state of New
Jersey. In this program, children learn about
the dangers associated with the abuse of
drugs and alcohol. They also speak with
officers about topics such as bullying,
conflict resolution, self-esteem, and peer
pressure. The ten-week program concludes
with a graduation ceremony and a party for
all of the participants. The L.E.A.D. officers
attend the party and interact with the students
for an afternoon of fun and bowling.
Visitations from L.E.A.D. officers are also
scheduled throughout the year in our
elementary schools. In this setting, officers
speak with the younger children about
topics such as “Stranger Danger” and how
to call “911”.

Farrell Fun Run and Walk at West Deptford
Fun Day. The race is a 5k run/walk held on
the morning of the fun day. Prizes are
awarded in all categories. All proceeds go
toward the West Deptford L.E.A.D. program.
Anyone wishing to participate in the event
or receive an application for the run/walk
can contact Chief Samuel DiSimone at
(856) 845-4599 ext. 157.
West Deptford Municipal Alliance is part of the Governor’s
Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in the state of
New Jersey and was established in 1989. The programs
are coordinated through the Gloucester County Offices of
Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. The program is made up of
volunteers from our community and also includes members
from the West Deptford School system and the West
Deptford Police Department. The Alliance coordinates
programs that promote education on how to prevent drug
and alcohol abuse in our community by offering a variety of
activities and educational sources.
The Alliance supports many programs and activities
throughout the year to keep the community aware of
the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, identifying and
suggesting different alternatives to drug and alcohol use.
Just a few of the programs that the Alliance supports are
L.E.A.D., Project Graduation activities, Assemblies for
Middle School students, National Night Out and Red
Ribbon Week. The alliance also sponsors events for the
senior citizens in West Deptford. Recently, we have joined
with Riverwinds Community Center and offered drug
interaction information at special events that have been
designed for the members.
We would welcome all new and fresh ideas that can
enhance our programs. If you are interested in
participating, please contact John Chambers at
[email protected].
National Night Out
For the past several years, the West Deptford Police
Department has been very active with the Annual National
Night Out program. The event has traditionally taken place
on the first Tuesday of August. The Municipal Alliance has
partnered with the Police Department to have an event for
the community that has been very informative. Different
programs are highlighted throughout the evening
(Neighborhood Watch, Bicycle Safety Program and
the K-9 Unit) The Gloucester County Prosecutors Office,
Gloucester Sheriff’s Department, Gloucester County K-9
Association and SWAT have participated in recent years.
The Municipal Alliance has sponsored entertainment for
the children while the Police Department has informational
displays and literature for all of the community programs
that are in place for the residents. The K-9 unit, Traffic Unit
and Bike Patrol Unit have had live demonstrations on how
each of their units operate. Patrol Officers and Detectives
are available to speak with residents and answer questions,
giving the community the opportunity to interact with the
Police Department in a positive manner.
