Lakewood publishes its collection routes as a map (Township of Lakewood Department of Public Works pickup areas): each route area carries a fixed weekday for trash; the lookup reads that area for your address and turns the Township's route codes into plain weekdays.

Trash is collected weekly. The Township of Lakewood Department of Public Works collects garbage and single-stream recycling (the yellow Township container) on the same zone day. Under the Township's holiday rule, a holiday on a pickup day moves that day's pickup and the rest of the week's one day later (Thursday's to Friday). Bulk pickup is separate: one Wednesday a month by zone, by registration.

An address within 30 m of the line between two pickup zones (the lines run along the railroad, Route 9, Cross Street, Massachusetts Avenue and the lakes), or one the Township's map does not cover, gets no day here; Lakewood Public Works (732-905-3405) can confirm it.

We last checked Lakewood on October 4, 2026: 7 of 7 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Lakewood's pickup days.
