Bulk Pick-Up

Bulk appointments are limited to five (5) appointments per year for each address.

Bulk pick-up service covers items that are too big to place in your automated carts for curbside collection. Bulk pick-up is scheduled the day after your automated cart pickup day, by appointment. Each residence is limited to 2 cubic yards of trash per pick-up and 5 bulk pickups per calendar year.

For most residents with once a week, automated collection, bulk materials are picked up by appointment the day after your normal trash day. Residents with twice a week, manual trash collection, please call DPW for more information at (732) 297-1134.

Bulk Waste Collection Changes: Volume limit per appointment.

Residential bulk collection volume is limited to three large furniture items or 2 cubic yards per appointment. 2 cubic yards is roughly the equivalent of the contents of four 95 gallon trash containers or the size of 3 feet x 3 feet x 6 feet.

Bulk materials that are not “white goods” (appliances) or predominantly metal can be picked up curbside by appointment. Such items include:

  • Carpeting
  • Furniture
  • Doors & Windows
  • Lumber
  • Sheet Flooring

Rolloff Container/Dumpster Rental
The fee for municipal property maintenance dumpsters has increased to $400 per rental. This fee increase is strictly to cover the actual cost to the Township of such a container rental. If the tipping fee of the dumpster exceeds the $400 rental fee, the renter of the dumpster is responsible to pay the overage.

Residents may rent a 30 cubic yard Property Maintenance Dumpster for seven days. Use is limited to disposal of personal property household items generated by a major cleanup or in preparation for transfer of ownership. Container is intended to eliminate need for curbside pick up of large piles of refuse.

These dumpsters are not to be used to dispose of concrete, asphalt, brick, masonry, stone, soil, garden timbers, and construction materials or from debris produced by work which requires a permit. Call DPW at (732) 297-1134 for further details or to schedule the rental of a dumpster.
