The days of on-demand trash pickup are dwindling for residents of Millburn, the northern New Jersey community best known for The Mall at Short Hills, where Cartier diamonds meet Dior fashions.
Homeowners in the town of 18,700 people 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Manhattan have only a few more days to summon a public-works truck for no charge to collect whatever they neglected to set out on garbage day. On Jan. 1, a cheaper private hauler will replace municipal employees collecting trash in the township, whose median household income of $170,000 a year is more than triple the national average.
