Welcome to Washington Township!

 The goal of this site is to offer as much information regarding  your
 local government and its operations as possible to the residents of
 Washington Township. This includes agendas, minutes, the
 Township Directory and even online access to the Township’s
 ordinances.  You will find the site to be very comprehensive, and it
 is updated weekly. Please take some time to review it; maybe you
 can find out why Port Colden was referred to as a “Port”.

 Washington Township is a rural township with a tremendous sense
 of community. Learn about what is going on and get involved. We
 have an Environmental Commission, Historic Preservation
 Commission, Recreation Commission, Economic Development
 Commission, Open Space Advisory Committee, Senior Citizens
 Advisory Committee and a Land Use Board. You can apply for a
 position by returning the Citizens Involvement form, available by
 clicking here to volunteer.

 We want to hear from you, so please Contact Us with any input.

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program is coordinating a Refrigerator Recycling program for residents throughout the state of New Jersey.  This program provides a $30 reward and free pick up of old refrigerators and freezers for New Jersey residents.  

These old units are not only wasting energy, but money as well -- up to $150 a year.  And, through this program, NJCEP (in partnership with JACO Environmental) safely recycles 95% of each unit.  That means these units aren't going into landfills or back on the secondary market, but are being turned into items we use everyday, such as cell phones and laptops.  Residents can make an appointment for a free pick up by calling 1-877-270-3520 or visiting www.NJCleanEnergy.com.
