From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
April has flown by and May has arrived, which means Memorial Day Weekend will be here before we know it. I hope everyone is looking forward to the approaching warm weather as much as I am – and that you are planning to be in Sea Isle City throughout the summer season. We have a lot of entertainment planned for you this year, including our free Saturday night concerts, “Movies Under the Stars” and “Family Fun Nights” – not to mention the Chamber of Commerce’s weekly Farmer’s Market and Acoustic Open Mic Nights for teens, as well as Sea Isle’s wonderful Beachcomber Guided Tours and a myriad of special events that are on our 2022 calendar.

The Department of Public Works Has Made a Change to Bulk Trash Collection Schedule
City-Wide Bulk Trash Update: Starting this spring, the City-Wide Bulk Trash Collection Day will be the second Thursday of May (not the fourth Thursday of May, as was the case in past years). Therefore, this spring’s City-Wide Bulk Trash Collection Day will be Thursday, May 12.
Weekly Bulk Trash Update: Effective immediately, Weekly Bulk Trash Collections will take place through the month of April (not through May). Here is the weekly Bulk Trash Collection Schedule (October thru April):
- 1st to 44th Street = 1st Thursday of each month
- 45th to 70th Street = 2nd Thursday of the month
- 71st to 94th Street = 3rd Thursday of the month
- Brush = 4th Thursday of the month (all streets)
Special Note: Please throw-away the old “Mandatory Recycling Laws” magnets that you may have on your refrigerator, because that information is no longer entirely accurate. CLICK HERE to view the magnet to throw-away.
