Bulk Items & Yard Waste

BULK ITEMS

What do I do with bulky items?

Bulk Waste collection services are offered to help residents with the occasional need for disposal of large items that will NOT fit inside the township issued trash cart. (Additional bags of trash do NOT qualify as Bulk Waste).

Four (4) bulk items will be collected on the resident's regularly scheduled trash day during the first full week of each month. (ex. February 1st, March 1st, April 5th, May 3rd, and so on…)

Bulk pick-up Must be scheduled by 4pm on the Friday of the previous week.

Below is an example of items that would qualify for a bulk pick-up:                      See list below:

• Carpet: Carpet must be cut down and rolled into manageable bundles. Each bundle counts  as one (1) bulky item.
• Furniture: A box spring and mattress count as two (2) items. Other items accepted include, but are not limited to, couches, dressers, other furniture items.  These all count as one (1) item.
• Construction Debris: Construction debris should be transported to the landfill at Atlantic County Utilities Authority, please visit ACUA.com for further information.  A toilet or sink are the only items that fall under construction, renovation, replacement, or upgrades that will be collected by  the ACUA.  Residents generating construction debris may transport waste themselves to the landfill at Atlantic County Utilities Authority, Click Here for disposal information. 
  
  • Large Miscellaneous Items:  Please call the Public Works Department if you have questions about whether an item is accepted for disposal, 609-625-6311.

• Attic / Garage / Home clean-outs and/or Moving:  When cleaning out a garage or attic or preparing to move out of your home, the result is the need to discard a large number of items.  Residents generating more trash than allowable curbside may transport waste themselves to the landfill at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority, see link above under Construction Debris.
