What happened
Starting January 1, Lakewood Township will discontinue trash pickup services for private schools and houses of worship. This change was mandated by the state, which stated it would not approve a budget that included the service. The move is projected to save the township approximately $2 million next year.

Why it matters
The service cut forces private schools and religious institutions to hire private haulers, significantly increasing their operational costs. For example, a small shul could face monthly costs of about $200, while a large school might pay over $1,000 monthly.
