NJ's Electronic Waste Management Act bans covered electronic devices (TVs, monitors, desktops, laptops, portables) from the solid-waste stream statewide, so a TV at the curb on a regular collection day is treated as illegal dumping under Municipal Code Ch. 8.40 and the load is rejected at the MCUA landfill gate. | Varies | Same day, $79 |

| West New York | Yes | West New York publishes district-based garbage routes (for example, District 1 Monday/Thursday from 49th St to 61st St between Bergenline Ave and Boulevard East) plus Tuesday recycling in that district. Bulk and special-item rules are schedule-dependent and limited compared with private same-day service. | Varies | Same day, $79 |

FAQ
Common questions about junk removal in New Jersey
How much does junk removal cost in New Jersey?
Dropcurb starts at $79 across all 20 cities in New Jersey. Every item has an all-in first-item price and an add-on price. A couch is $79, a queen mattress is $99, a dresser is $79, a TV is $99, a refrigerator is $134, a treadmill is $109. Additional items each add their own add-on price. The price you see is the price you pay — nothing added at checkout.
Does New Jersey offer free bulk pickup?
Most cities in New Jersey offer some form of free bulk pickup, but every program has different limits, scheduling requirements, and item exclusions. Some cities require scheduling 2+ weeks in advance, while others only run quarterly. See the comparison table above for a city-by-city breakdown. Dropcurb offers same-day pickup starting at $79 in all 20 cities — no scheduling, no item restrictions.
How fast can I get junk removed in New Jersey?
Same day. Book before noon in any of our 20 New Jersey cities and your items are picked up by 8 PM. No appointment windows. Place items at the curb and go about your day. We text you confirmation when the hauler completes the pickup.
What items does Dropcurb pick up in New Jersey?
Dropcurb picks up furniture (couches, dressers, desks, tables, bed frames), mattresses and box springs, appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers), electronics (TVs, monitors, computers), exercise equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes), outdoor items (grills, patio furniture, trampolines), and bagged junk. We do not pick up hazardous materials, propane tanks, tires, or items over 400 lbs like hot tubs and pianos.
Do I have to be home for a Dropcurb pickup in New Jersey?
No. Dropcurb is curbside-only across all 20 cities in New Jersey. Place items at the curb (or your driveway apron) by 8 AM the day of pickup. The hauler texts you a confirmation photo when the pickup is complete — no signature, no walk-through, and no one enters your home or garage. This is the core difference between Dropcurb and a traditional in-home haul: you book online, leave it out, and go about your day.
