Public Works Information

The Public Works Department does the hard work required to maintain and upgrade Lambertville’s infrastructure, keeping the City’s physical appearance beautiful and doing it in an environmentally-friendly way. This includes maintaining roads, storm sewers and parks, clearing snow and assisting during storms and flooding. 

The Department also operates garbage disposal and single-stream recycling for the more than 4,100 residents in the City. Check the Schedule for days of your weekly pickup.

Bulk Trash

Each Monday (except for holidays) the city will pick up bulk trash on a per item basis. To review the fee schedule and to arrange for items to be picked up, please visit our Bulk Trash Request Form.

Electronic/Hazardous Waste

We no longer accept electronics of any type, nor any hazardous materials.  Here are the schedules for the
County Solid Waste and Recycling Services:

You can also take certain electronics to the following organizations (call in advance to check on what they are willing to accept): GoodwillBest Buy, or Staples.

 

Leaf/Lawn Bag Pickup

Lawn/leaf collection occurs year-round on Thursdays (weather permitting). 
To schedule a pickup, please call the Public Works Office and leave a message with your name, address, and number of bags to be collected.

Leaf pickups are on Thursdays for requests received prior to noon on the Wednesday before. (Miss the deadline? You'll be on for the following week).

Please take note: Leaf and lawn debris needs to be placed in compostable/biodegradable bags in order to be collected. Paper leaf bags are available at any local hardware store or grocery store. Since the paper bags decompose themselves, they contribute to the composting process of the leaf and lawn debris. Plastic bags are not permitted (per City Ordinance No. 16-2013 § 12-1.9; amended 4-21-2022 by Ord. No. 05-2022). Lawn debris in plastic bags will not be collected.   

Please avoid overstuffing paper leaf bags - they may tear, or become too heavy to be easily moved into the trucks.

Convenience Center Hours 

The Convenience Center is located at 120 Quarry Street. Please use the second entrance due to yard construction

The Convenience Center is open monthly on the first and third Saturdays from 9am to 12pm, and on the third Wednesday from 3pm to 5pm. 

Residents are welcome to bring loose lawn waste and yard debris to be dropped off for composting. Paper lawn bags are not required - in fact they are not accepted - contents must be dumped into the bin at the yard.



Street Sweeper

The Street Sweeper is active from March through December, rain or shine. 

The sweeper resumed for 2024 on Monday, March 25th.
