Bulk Goods

BULK GOODS CURBSIDE PICK-UP

Bulk material consists of mattresses, furniture, scrap wood, doors, windows (no broken glass allowed), fencing, masonry, non-metal shelving, other large-sized objects or objects too heavy for household trash, small bundled brush-3 feet or shorter tied in bundles, and bagged leaves or grass.

Bulk goods curbside pick-up is divided into 4 different areas. Pick-up is done on Wednesdays only.

Bulk area #1 is picked up on the first Wednesday of every month.
Bulk area #2 is picked up on the second Wednesday of every month.
Bulk area #3 is picked up on the third Wednesday of the month.
Bulk area #4 is picked up on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

CAUTION: A common error made by residents whose bulk is collected on the 4^th Wednesday of each month is to put out their bulk on the last Wednesday of each month. This is not correct! Certain months have 5 Wednesdays. Be sure to put out bulk on the 4^th Wednesday. Months which have 5 Wednesdays are used for fleet maintenance and no collections are made.

Please refer to the Street Index for which Wednesday of the month is assigned to your Street.

Disposal of bulk waste is a very expensive service provided to residents of the Garbage District. This service is NOT PROVIDED to anyone other than those residents. Contractors who remove bulk trash for profit or as a service to their customers may not dispose of such waste by leaving at curbside. Residents who are contractors may not place any form of solid waste at curbside other than that generated by their personal residence. Every resident of the Garbage District bears the cost of contractor's dumping waste in our Township. Residents who observe illegal dumping, or "carried in" waste being left at the curb, are encouraged to report such activities to the Public Works Department at 609-371-7152.

Please allow us to remind you of some points to assist us in collecting your bulk items:

Material must be free from sharp jagged edges.
Wood must be free from exposed nails. Please remove all nails or hammer nails bending back into wood piece so that point is not exposed.
