Frequently Asked Questions

An Important Note on Litter and Illegal Dumping

Please note that it is illegal to litter and illegally dump items along roadways, parks, parking lots, open space or ANYWHERE.  The department has noticed an increase in this illegal activity and anyone caught will be turned over to the police.  This includes discarded gloves and masks in parking lots. We appreciate your cooperation and help in keeping Hillsborough clean and reducing the spread of COVID-19.  The virus can continue to live on items which makes litter cleanups during this time a dangerous activity. Be assured, the Auten Road site will re-open once the threat has passed to allow for residents to properly dispose of their bulk items.   Please report any littering or illegal dumping activity to the Police at 908-369-4323 and to DPW by emailing dpw@hillsborough-nj.org.  Pictures and proof are always helpful.  Reducing the number of items littered will not only help protect our environment, it will also help protect our residents and our crews from the spread of COVID-19.
