Dead Wild Bird Protocol-

New Jersey DEP Fish and Wildlife recommends avoiding contact with sick or dead wildlife. However, if you have a dead wild bird on your property and are electing to dispose of the carcass, precautions should be taken. If removal can be done safely, personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn, including gloves, a mask, and eye protection. Avoid direct contact between you and the animal by using a tool such as a shovel or pitchfork to move the carcass. Double-bag each bird, close the bag using a zip-tie, and place in an outdoor trash bin inaccessible by pets or other wildlife. Following disposal, immediately wash your hands with soap and warm water and disinfect any non-disposable items using a diluted household bleach solution. Allow the disinfectant to sit on the item for 10 minutes prior to rinsing off with warm water.

If you encounter sick or dead wild birds report the finding to the DEP hotline at 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6337)

Keyport Residents: The generosity and benevolence of our community are what makes it as strong as it is.  The willingness to help others is something that should be essential in our daily routines.

With that being said, we kindly ask that when placing items curbside for free pick up, that we stay mindful of neighboring properties, sidewalk access and the duration for which unclaimed items are outside.   

Borough ordinances that cover bulk pick up ( 16-5.3 / 16-5.6 ) can be found at: https://ecode360.com/35074857
