Got Storm Debris? Bring It to the Westfield Conservation Center This Week
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Township public works officials are encouraging Westfield residents to bring storm-damaged tree branches, brush, and yard waste to the Westfield Conservation Center following recent severe weather across Union County. The municipal drop-off facility has adjusted operational workflows to help homeowners clear debris from their residential properties safely and efficiently.
Located at 1300 Lamberts Mill Road, the facility accepts organic storm debris including fallen tree limbs, small logs, leaves, and garden brush. Union County Life confirmed that public works personnel will be on hand to direct vehicle traffic and manage unload zones to accommodate increased resident volume throughout the week.
Township regulations require residents to show proof of residency or present an active Westfield Conservation Center permit upon entering the facility. Public works supervisors remind visitors that non-organic storm debris, construction materials, pressure-treated lumber, and plastic bags are strictly prohibited from the yard waste disposal areas.
For elderly or disabled homeowners unable to transport heavy debris independently, public works officials recommend contacting local neighborhood volunteers or licensed tree removal contractors. Township crews are continuing routine roadside maintenance to clear fallen limbs along primary municipal roadways and public right-of-ways.
Residents seeking facility hours, permit purchasing details, or list of accepted materials can contact the Westfield Conservation Center at nine zero eight seven eigh nine four one zero zero or visit westfieldnj.gov/conservation.
