Moving to Rockaway: who to call and what the city asks.

Rockaway is a borough in Morris County, New Jersey. The Rockaway Borough Wellfield Superfund site sits over a glacial aquifer that EPA designated the sole source aquifer for the borough and surrounding communities. Animal control for the borough is provided through a Shared Services Agreement with the Township of Randolph. The borough also has a Property Maintenance Officer who investigates property maintenance complaints and enforces the municipal code on maintenance standards.

Garbage is collected at the curb once a week, on either Thursday or Friday. Curbside recycling is single-stream, all in one container, under a borough contract.
