To the Editor:

Recently trash pickup was a no-show at our house. Then came recycling and again no pickup. Last summer and the summer before we had that problem. It was a major problem to get Long Beach Township to even care.

This summer things seemed to be on track until the week of July 25. A call to the township resulted in my being told that the township is not responsible, that the pickup is done by a private company. I asked the person I spoke to who pays the private company. She said the township.
