[FROM TLS ARCHIVES] Rabbi Shmuel Felder Shlita, one of Lakewood’s leading Poskim has confirmed to TLS that Lakewood residents may leave Chometz in their trash bins to be picked up during Pesach.
Rabbi Felder explained that leaving Chometz in the bin would not constitute being in possession of Chometz, since the bins are owned by the Lakewood Township.
Accordingly, residents may leave the trash bins out for pickup Erev Pesach, and bring it back onto their property during Chol Ha’moed.

Would this apply even if the street is not township property? (like many developments)
However if any chomets is left inside do not allow it back into your property also make sure you were mafkir chomets properly
#1 yes
Louis I believe your mistakin, if the Can belongs to the township then it should matter if it’s on your properly.
Please don’t leave chometz in the parking lot of the kosher market in Jackson. Perhaps a sign in the market and the car wash.
Lexington it does make a difference. Rabbi forscheimer states so clearly in his kuntrus on hilchos pesach. Louis is right.
Lexington check with your posek but there are several issues with your premise beyond the scope of comment here but I believe it could be problematic
Who ever got an extra bin in the last few months had to pay for it and actually owns the bin out right which would definitely change the psak halacha and you wouldn’t be able to keep chometz in it over yom tov.
Louis the whole point of Rabbi Felder posak was to clarify, that here wasn’t a problem.
U had to pay 50 dollars for the twp hassle and delivery. It says on the bin “property of lakewood twp”.
The money that is paid for the bin is a deposit. The township does not sell the bins.
To rabbi Tam
sorry your mistaken
When you pay for a garbage can its a deposit until you return it in good condition but the town always owns all the cans
Next time do your research
The township(Lakewood), has provided several locations to bring chometz, let’s use the drop off locations. Then one doesn’t have to worry about the township owned? or not trash bins.
A relative of mine told me that Rav Bick ztl from Boro Park paskened that it’s muttar ANYWAY since there is no better way that showing something is hefker and bitul than placing it in the outdoor trash cans.
