Ship Bottom officials aren’t just talking about trash, they are doing something about it as highlighted by the recent rash of verbal and written warnings for both garbage and recycling container violations.

At last week’s borough council meeting, Councilman Joe Valyo said 40 violation stickers were issued for garbage containers because of missing lids and exceeding the containers’ weight capacity. On the recycling side of things, 35 violation stickers were issued, he said.
