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.

Couches, sofas and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is accepted during the township spring and fall clean-up weeks and can also be booked as a large bulky item through the public works pick-up line.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the pick-up line, the clean-up dates and the accepted lists but no fee for either route, so confirm the charge when the special pick-up is booked at 732-248-7288 and confirm whether the clean-up week carries any charge before relying on it.
When & how
Call the public works office at 732-248-7288 to book a special pick-up and wait for the confirmation number before the furniture goes out, or set it out for the clean-up week that matches the recycling section, no sooner than 48 hours before the collection and before 6:00 A.M. on the day.
Get it ready
Nothing may be placed at the kerb before the special pick-up confirmation number is received, because material put out early is not collected and its disposal becomes the homeowner's responsibility. Keep the piece liftable, and keep construction material, paint, tires and textiles out of the same pile because they are refused.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress or box spring is accepted during the clean-up weeks only when it is wrapped and sealed in plastic, and unwrapped bedding is specifically refused.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the clean-up dates and the wrapping requirement but no fee, and a mattress can also be booked on the special pick-up line at 732-248-7288, so confirm the charge on whichever route the household uses.
When & how
Wrap and seal the mattress and box spring in plastic, then set them out for the clean-up week that matches the recycling section, no sooner than 48 hours before the collection and before 6:00 A.M. on the day, or book a special pick-up at 732-248-7288.
Get it ready
The plastic wrap is the condition of collection: unwrapped mattresses and box springs are on the unacceptable list and will be left at the kerb. Keep the bedding dry before it is wrapped, and keep box springs paired with their mattress rather than stacked loose with other material.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

Washers, dryers and microwaves are on the clean-up accepted list along with refrigerators that have their doors removed, a hot water heater needs to be inspected, and white goods can also be booked through the pick-up line.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the accepted appliance list and the pick-up telephone number but no fee, so confirm the charge with the public works office at 732-248-7288 and confirm the inspection requirement for a hot water heater, because uninspected units are on the unacceptable list.
When & how
Call 732-248-7288 to book a white goods or metal pick-up, or set the appliance out for the clean-up week that matches the recycling section with the refrigerator doors already removed.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator before it goes out, keep a hot water heater back until it has been inspected, and never put metal or white goods into a garbage can, because the township forbids metal in the garbage container and refuses obstructed cans.

Televisions

Accepted with preparation

Televisions are named among the electronics accepted during the clean-up weeks and are also taken at the township recycling centre on New Durham Road.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the electronics drop-off and the clean-up accepted list but no fee for either, so confirm any charge with public works at 732-248-7288 before the television is moved.
When & how
Take the set to the Edison Township Recycling Center at 745 New Durham Road, open Monday to Saturday from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM, with proof of residency and a residential vehicle, or set it out during the clean-up week that matches the recycling section.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and dry and wipe anything that stores data. Never put a television in the regular garbage or with the recyclables, because the township forbids recyclables in the garbage and treats electronics as a separate stream.

Computers and household electronics

Accepted with preparation

Computers, printers and monitors go to the township recycling centre throughout the year and are also accepted during the clean-up weeks.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the drop-off location, hours and residency rules but no fee for electronics, so confirm any charge with public works at 732-248-7288 before the trip.
When & how
Drop the devices at the Edison Township Recycling Center at 745 New Durham Road between 6:30 AM and 2:00 PM Monday to Saturday, or set them out during the clean-up week that matches the recycling section.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from computers and drives, keep power supplies and cables with each device, and do not leave anything outside the recycling centre gate when it is closed, which the township treats as an ordinance violation.

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

Construction and demolition material is refused outright, both in the regular garbage and during the clean-up weeks at any time of year.

City cost & eligibility
Edison does not collect construction or demolition material at any time. The garbage rules exclude building and demolition material such as garage doors, shingles and construction lumber, and both clean-up pages state that no construction materials are collected at any time, so the household has to arrange private disposal.
When & how
Do not set the material out for a township route on any date. A renovation that produces a load of board, tile, shingles or fixtures needs private disposal or a hauler instead.
Get it ready
Keep construction material separate from any clean-up pile, because an inspector can refuse the whole pile when refusable material is mixed in. Dirt, stone, wood, ashes, sawdust and metal are also forbidden in garbage cans, so they cannot be hidden in the weekly stream.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

No Edison list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so exercise equipment has to be confirmed against the bulky and clean-up routes before it is set out.

City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment appears on no retained township accepted or unacceptable list and no fee is published, so confirm the route and the charge with the public works office at 732-248-7288 before setting the machine out.
When & how
Call public works at 732-248-7288 to ask whether the machine can be booked as a large bulky item, or check whether the clean-up week for the recycling section will take it.
Get it ready
Strip the console and loose weights so the frame is as light as possible, fold the deck where the manufacturer allows it, and keep the machine out of the garbage can and off the pavement until the collection is confirmed.

Bulky items and household cleanouts

Accepted with preparation

Bulky items are barred from the regular garbage days and move instead through a booked special pick-up or through the spring and fall clean-up weeks.

City cost & eligibility
The township publishes the special pick-up telephone number and the clean-up schedules but no fee for either, and it warns that anything set out before a confirmation number is the homeowner's responsibility, so confirm the charge and the timing before the pile goes out.
When & how
Call the public works office at 732-248-7288 to book a special pick-up and wait for the confirmation number, or use the clean-up week that matches the recycling section, with the material curbside before 6:00 A.M. and no sooner than 48 hours before the collection.
Get it ready
Keep bulk material out of the regular garbage container and never leave it at the kerb ahead of a booking, because unconfirmed material is not collected and its disposal falls to the homeowner. Pallets, textiles, branches, recyclables, paint and hazardous waste, tires and construction material are all refused, so sort the pile before booking it.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Household waste only, in the supplied container

Edison garbage collection follows the municipal collection areas, and residents in private collection areas deal with their own hauler. Only the supplied containers are acceptable, and a cardboard, paper or plywood drum used as a container is itself classified as garbage and taken away. The stream is household waste only: building and demolition material such as garage doors, shingles and construction lumber is refused, along with textiles, fixtures, trees, earth or stone, refuse and industrial waste, and dirt, stone, wood, ashes, sawdust and metal must not go into a garbage can. Recyclables belong in the separate recycling container, and an obstructed can is not collected.

Book first, set out second

White goods, metal and large bulky items are booked, not put out on a regular collection day. The recycling regulations send residents to the public works office at 732-248-7288 to arrange the pickup, or to the township citizen service request form, and the garbage regulations make the order of operations explicit: do not put the items out until the call has been made, because material placed at the kerb before a confirmation number is received will not be collected and its disposal becomes the homeowner's responsibility. Leaves, lawn and garden refuse, grass clippings, brush and tree limbs, hazardous material, heavy material and rugs are all excluded from regular collection days as well.

Spring and autumn clean-up weeks run by recycling section

The township opens two clean-up windows a year, one in the spring and one in the autumn, each assigned by recycling section to a Saturday. Collections begin at 6:00 A.M., and material has to be at the kerb before that and no sooner than 48 hours ahead of the collection date. The accepted list covers furniture, box springs and mattresses wrapped and sealed in plastic, metals, up to four interior doors, up to two vinyl or metal window frames without glass, one each of a toilet, tank and metal tub with the tank separated, carpet limited to one room or ten rolls under 5 feet and 50 pounds, up to four sections of fencing, washers, dryers, microwaves, electronics including televisions, printers and computers, wrapped glass under 50 pounds and a refrigerator with the doors removed. Branches, unwrapped bedding, pallets, construction material, uninspected hot water heaters, recyclables, paint, tires, glass over 50 pounds and textiles are refused.

Edison Township Department of Public Works

Book a township special pick-up

An Edison household with white goods, metal or a large bulky item that will not be taken on a regular collection day.

Cost & conditions
The township publishes the pick-up telephone number but no rate for a special pick-up, so the charge is confirmed when the booking is made at 732-248-7288 rather than quoted here.
Arrange it
Call the public works office at 732-248-7288, or file a citizen service request, wait for the confirmation number to be issued, and only then place the material at the kerb.

Nothing may be placed out before the confirmation number is received, because unconfirmed material is not collected and its disposal becomes the homeowner's responsibility. Construction material, recyclables, paint and hazardous waste, tires and textiles are refused.

Edison Township Department of Public Works

Use the spring or fall clean-up week

An Edison household with furniture, wrapped bedding, appliances, carpet, fencing, fixtures, electronics or wrapped glass that can wait for the section's clean-up Saturday.

Cost & conditions
The township publishes the clean-up dates and the accepted and refused lists but no fee, so confirm whether the clean-up week carries a charge before relying on it.
Arrange it
Find the recycling section for the address, set the material out no sooner than 48 hours before the assigned Saturday and before 6:00 A.M. on the collection day, and expect the crew to start promptly at 6:00 A.M.

The accepted list sets quantity limits, including four interior doors, two window frames, one each of a toilet, tank and metal tub, carpet limited to one room or ten rolls, four fencing sections and wrapped glass under 50 pounds, and unwrapped mattresses, construction material, pallets, textiles, recyclables, paint, tires and uninspected hot water heaters are refused.

Take recyclables and electronics to the township centre

An Edison resident with single stream recyclables, large cardboard or electronic devices such as a television, computer, printer or monitor.

Cost & conditions
The township publishes the centre, its hours and its residency rules but no fee, so confirm any charge with public works at 732-248-7288 before the trip.
Arrange it
Drive to the Edison Township Recycling Center at 745 New Durham Road between 6:30 AM and 2:00 PM Monday to Saturday, bring proof of residency such as a driver's licence or utility bill, and use a residential vehicle because the centre accepts material only from one.

Residents only with proof of residency, residential vehicles only, and nothing may be left outside the gate when the centre is closed, which the township treats as an ordinance violation. Glass and plastic bags follow the curbside recycling rules rather than a separate drop-off.

Open the township electronics recycling page

Edison Township Department of Public Works

Use the county household hazardous waste schedule

An Edison household holding paint, solvents, pesticides or other household hazardous waste that the township refuses in garbage, in the clean-up weeks and at the recycling centre.

Cost & conditions
The township links the Middlesex County household hazardous waste schedule for these items, but the county page could not be read from this host and no fee or event detail is published on the township pages, so confirm the next date, the accepted list and any charge with the county or with public works at 732-248-7288.
Arrange it
Follow the township public works link to the Middlesex County household hazardous waste schedule and confirm the next collection before loading a vehicle.

Paint and other household hazardous waste are refused in the garbage, in the clean-up weeks and at the recycling centre, so the county event is the only published route and its details have to come from the county.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling in Edison means using the township recycling centre and booking the bulky routes before anything goes out. The Recycling Center at 745 New Durham Road opens Monday to Saturday from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM, takes single stream recyclables and electronics such as computers, printers, monitors and televisions, asks for proof of residency like a driver's licence or utility bill, accepts material only in a residential vehicle and treats items left outside the gate after closing as an ordinance violation. Large household items do not go to the centre and do not go out on a regular garbage day either: white goods, metal and bulky items are booked through the public works office at 732-248-7288, and nothing may be placed at the kerb until a confirmation number has been issued. Twice a year the township also runs clean-up weeks by recycling section, one in the spring and one in the autumn, with collections starting at 6:00 A.M. and material allowed out no sooner than 48 hours beforehand. Those weeks accept furniture, mattresses wrapped and sealed in plastic, metals, limited doors, window frames, fixtures, carpet, fencing, washers, dryers, microwaves, electronics, wrapped glass and refrigerators with the doors removed, and they refuse branches, unwrapped bedding, pallets, construction material, uninspected hot water heaters, recyclables, paint and hazardous waste, tires and textiles. Construction material is never collected on any route, and paint and household hazardous waste go to the Middlesex County schedule the township links.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Edison.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Edison?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How does a couch leave an Edison home?

Two ways. The township accepts sofas, chairs and tables during its spring and fall clean-up weeks, which run by recycling section on set Saturdays, and it also takes large bulky items through a special pick-up booked at 732-248-7288. Furniture never goes out on a regular garbage day, bulk items are excluded from those days, and nothing may be placed at the kerb before a special pick-up confirmation number has been issued.Official guidance

What has to happen before an Edison mattress goes out?

It has to be wrapped and sealed in plastic. The township clean-up lists accept box springs and mattresses wrapped and sealed in plastic and put unwrapped mattresses and box springs on the unacceptable list, so an uncovered mattress will be left where it stands. Set the wrapped bedding out for the clean-up week that matches the recycling section, no sooner than 48 hours before and before 6:00 A.M. on the collection day, or book the special pick-up line at 732-248-7288.Official guidance

How do Edison white goods leave the house?

By booking a special pick-up at 732-248-7288, which the township recycling page names for white goods, metal and large bulky items, or by using the spring and fall clean-up weeks, which accept washers, dryers and microwaves and a refrigerator with the doors removed. An uninspected hot water heater is refused at the clean-up, metal must not be put in a garbage can, and nothing goes out before the special pick-up confirmation number is issued.Official guidance

Where does a television go in Edison?

To the township recycling centre at 745 New Durham Road, which takes electronics including computers, printers and monitors and opens Monday to Saturday from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM, or into the spring and fall clean-up weeks, which list televisions with printers and computers among the accepted electronics. The centre asks for proof of residency such as a driver's licence or utility bill and accepts material only in a residential vehicle, and no fee is published for either route.Official guidance

Where do Edison computers and printers go?

To the Edison Township Recycling Center at 745 New Durham Road, which the township says accepts electronics such as computers, printers and monitors and opens Monday to Saturday from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Residents have to show proof of residency such as a driver's licence or utility bill and may only bring material in a residential vehicle, staff are on site to help, and leaving items outside the gate after closing is a township ordinance violation.Official guidance

Will Edison take construction material?

No, at any time. The garbage regulations exclude building and demolition material of any type and name garage doors, shingles and construction lumber, and both the spring and fall clean-up pages state that no construction materials are collected. Dirt, stone, wood, ashes, sawdust and metal are also banned from garbage cans, so a renovation load has to go to private disposal rather than to a township route.Official guidance

Will Edison take a treadmill?

No township list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed rather than assumed. Large bulky items and metals are booked through the public works office at 732-248-7288, and the clean-up weeks accept furniture, metals and appliances but do not mention exercise machines, so ask before the machine goes out.Official guidance

How do I get rid of bulky items in Edison?

Book it or wait for a clean-up week. Bulk items are not picked up on regular collection days, so large household material goes through a special pick-up arranged at 732-248-7288 with a confirmation number issued before anything is placed at the kerb, or through the spring and fall clean-up weeks for the recycling section. The clean-up weeks accept a long list that includes furniture, wrapped mattresses, metals, carpet, fencing and appliances but refuse pallets, textiles, branches, recyclables, paint, tires and construction material.Official guidance

Who collects Edison garbage and recycling?

Edison Township public works collects household garbage and single stream recycling in the municipal collection areas, and residents in private collection areas are told to contact their own haulers for both schedules and questions. Only supplied containers are acceptable, recyclables must be kept in a separate container and out of the garbage, and the township is divided into 10 recycling sections collected every other week.Official guidance

Why can't I just leave bulky items at the kerb in Edison?

Because the township explicitly does not collect bulk items on regular collection days, and because the garbage rules say nothing may be placed at the kerb before a special pick-up is arranged. Book through the public works office at 732-248-7288, wait for the confirmation number, and only then put the material out, because anything set out ahead of that confirmation is not collected and its disposal becomes the homeowner's responsibility.Official guidance

What are the limits during an Edison clean-up week?

The clean-up weeks run by recycling section on assigned Saturdays with collection starting at 6:00 A.M., and material has to be out before that and no sooner than 48 hours ahead. The quantity limits are four interior doors, two vinyl or metal window frames without glass, one each of a toilet, tank and metal tub with the tank separated, carpet limited to one room or ten rolls under 5 feet and 50 pounds, four sections of fencing, and wrapped glass under 50 pounds. Mattresses must be wrapped and sealed in plastic, refrigerators must have the doors removed, and branches, pallets, construction material, textiles, recyclables, paint, tires and uninspected hot water heaters are refused.Official guidance

What will Edison never take?

Construction and demolition material is refused on every route at any time, and the garbage rules name garage doors, shingles and construction lumber as examples, with dirt, stone, wood, ashes, sawdust and metal banned from garbage cans too. Paint and other household hazardous waste are refused in the garbage, in the clean-up weeks and at the recycling centre, tires are refused in the clean-up weeks, and textiles and pallets are refused as well.Official guidance
