TLS has received numerous reports today regarding children pulling trash bins from opened vehicles en-route to the trash drop-off sites.
Officials have advised TLS that this practice is extremely dangerous, as well as illegal.
A Lakewood Police official tells TLS that multiple drivers around town have been stopped and issued sommonses for this practice.
Drivers are urged to either place the trash bags in their vehicle, or walk the bins to the nearest drop-off site.

Dont get a ticket call 848-525-5180 and for a reasonable fee they will come pickup your garbage
Let the township provide more garbage service
Oh c’mon. Extremely dangerous??!! How many incidents have there been with numerous people doing this over the years? It’s more dangerous trying to cross rt. 9 on any given day with half the town on their cell phones. Let’s try to put things in proportion folks.
how in the world am I to get the garbage to the nearest bin? ( which is not so near). My garbges are FULL, they were last collected on Monday!!!
hey #3 what happens if your kid who is holding onto that garbage can falls out of the vehicle you are driving and since the cars behind you dont see your lights they run over the cans and your kid?? Then what.
The law is to get rid of bread items. How much bread items does everyone have? if you are doing spring cleaning take advantage of bulk pickup in the weeks preceding this holiday.
This happens every year, lets wait until the day of to put this out. Instead of telling people ahead of time its illegal and educate on the importance of not doing this from a safety aspect or a debris in the roadway problem
By doing this on the same day, there will be no repercussions and no one is going to get a ticket anyway
Call 848-525-5180 and they will take for you
I agree. But the township should have been more proactive in an announcing this.
More proactive….they post the same thing every year, and one would think common sense would dictate that you dont put a child in a car trunk, holding onto heavy trash bins, pulling them down the road. This holiday comes every year and its always the same rush, being proactive would have been being prepared ahead of time….
i don’t understand why they cant pick up all Lakewood garbage tomorrow. All of Brooklyn is getting picked up……
Maybe the township should start having extra pick ups before Peseach, instead of everyone going to various locations….genius
The reason they re not picking up tomorrow because its a holiday for the goyim employees….they deserve a holiday once in a while….stop all the kvetching
Besides all the dangers involved, you also end up ruining the bin wheels. The bins are not designed to be driven for such distance and speed. This causes axle and wheel damage. Just rrmember, you do not own these bins,.so dont abuse them
Use common sense…we don’t need our hands held every step of the way.
