A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky trash, three items a week

Accepted with preparation

Bulky trash rides a separate truck every week on your zone's bulk day and takes up to three items, so furniture and other large pieces go out at the curb without a call ahead.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky trash is part of the city's own collection service, and the 2026 handbook publishes no fee, sticker or bag charge for it; the published limit is three items on your bulk day.
When & how
Put bulky items out on your zone's bulk day: Thursday in the north zone, Friday in the central zone and Saturday in the south zone, not before 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep bulky trash separate from the garbage and never place it out before 6 p.m. the night before pickup. Cut scrap wood and branches to 4 foot lengths, tie them into no more than three bundles, and keep each bundle light enough for one person to lift. Call the Sanitation Division at (973) 266-5337 if you are unsure whether a piece qualifies.

Use the weekly bulky trash truck

An East Orange household with up to three pieces of furniture, a mattress and box spring, doors, screens, bathroom fixtures or rolled carpet to clear.

Cost & conditions
