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.

Bulk removal and large items

Accepted with preparation

The city's bulk removal programme splits large items by material rather than by size: non metal furniture and mattresses go out with the regular garbage, and metal furniture and appliances wait for the Thursday metal night.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route. The city treats bulk removal as part of the municipal programme and publishes no per item charge, so the collection itself carries no published fee.
When & how
Put non metal furniture and mattresses at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night. Put metal furniture and appliances out on Thursday night, because they are collected on Friday morning before noon by a different crew from the paper recycling round.
Get it ready
Sort by material before the item goes out, because the night depends on it. Remove all doors from refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves, tie branches in bundles, and keep the item off the sidewalk in a way that blocks nothing, since the same page carries the containerization rules and the warning about summonses.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is a curbside item in Hoboken. A non metal couch or chair goes out with the garbage, a piece built on a metal frame waits for the Thursday metal collection, and a sofa bed stays with the garbage.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, where furniture is collected as part of the municipal garbage or metal night programme without a published per item fee.
When & how
Non metal furniture goes out after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night. Metal furniture such as file cabinets, desks and bed frames goes out on Thursday night for the Friday morning metal round.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers and remove the cushions and loose parts before the piece goes out, and keep it out of the recycling bins, which take only plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 in the commingled stream and paper or cardboard in the Thursday stream. Anything still usable can also go to a charity collection instead of the curb.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress in Hoboken is simply part of the regular garbage collection, with no appointment, no fee and no separate drop-off needed.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, because the city lists mattresses with the regular garbage stream and publishes no mattress fee.
When & how
Put the mattress at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night, in the same collection as the garbage.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the rain before the collection, and keep it clear of the recycling bins, because the commingled stream takes only plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 with glass, cartons and metal and rejects contamination. Wrap it if the weather is wet so the crew can still lift it.

Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances

Accepted with preparation

Metal appliances are a Thursday night curbside item, including refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, hot water heaters and air conditioners, with the doors removed before the unit goes out.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, because the city lists metal appliances in the Thursday metal stream and publishes no per item charge. The page also points to a New Jersey Clean Energy Program rebate that may pay for recycling an old appliance.
When & how
Put the appliance at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night, and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon by the metal crew.
Get it ready
Remove all doors from refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves before the unit goes out, as the city's metal appliance list requires, and keep the appliance out of the recycling bins. Small non metal appliances such as vacuums, coffee makers, blenders and food processors are not metal night items and go with the regular garbage instead.

Televisions, computers and small electronics

Accepted with preparation

Televisions, computers, monitors and cell phones are collected at the curb on Thursday night with the other electronic waste, while small non metal appliances go out with the regular garbage.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, because the city lists computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones in the Thursday electronic waste stream and publishes no fee for the collection.
When & how
Put the device at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night, and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon. Lithium ion batteries go out with the electronic waste on the same night.
Get it ready
Wipe or remove the storage from a computer or phone before it goes out, and keep batteries out of the recycling bins, because the city states plainly that no batteries should be in recycling. Alkaline batteries go with regular garbage, lithium ion batteries go with electronic waste, and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a home improvement retailer while incandescent bulbs and lighting fixtures go with the garbage.

Treadmills and exercise equipment

Special rules apply

The city does not name exercise equipment, so the night depends on what the machine is made of and the household should confirm with the recycling coordinator.

City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment charge or stream is published. A metal framed machine belongs to the Thursday metal collection and a machine that is not metal follows the non metal furniture rule with the regular garbage, so confirm the specific machine with the recycling coordinator on (201) 420-2000 extension 1320 or recycling@hobokennj.gov before it goes out.
When & how
Call the recycling coordinator first, then put the machine out on Thursday night if it is a metal item or on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night if it is not, always after 7:30 p.m. or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove or tape any battery pack, and keep the pieces together so the crew can see what the load is. Never put the machine in a recycling bin, because the commingled bin takes only plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 with glass, cartons and metal, and the Thursday bin is for paper and cardboard.

Remodeling and construction debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction and demolition waste is the one stream Hoboken refuses outright: sheet rock, concrete and treated lumber are not collected at the curb and have to be hauled privately.

City cost & eligibility
The city states that construction and demolition waste is not collected by the City of Hoboken and must be hauled privately, so there is no municipal charge to publish. A licensed contractor or a private hauler carries the load and sets its own price.
When & how
Arrange a private haul or a contractor's container, because construction material has no place on any of the city collection nights and putting it out would breach the collection ordinances.
Get it ready
Keep sheet rock, concrete, treated lumber and the rest of the demolition material off the curb and out of the bins, and agree in writing with the contractor about who removes the debris. The police and the city licensing rules apply to a container placed on a street.

Paint, chemicals and batteries

Not on the regular city route

Non latex paint, varnish, turpentine and pesticides never go to the curb. They belong to the Hudson County Improvement Authority drop-off days, while latex paint has its own two rules depending on how full the can is.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the hazardous waste hotline and the twice yearly drop-off programme but no fee for a Hoboken household, so confirm the details on the environmental hotline at 201-324-6222 extension 3219 before travelling.
When & how
Hold hazardous material for one of the Hudson County Improvement Authority drop-off days, which the city says run twice a year, and call the environmental hotline at 201-324-6222 extension 3219 for the dates. Latex paint follows a different path: an empty or dried can goes out with regular garbage, and a can more than half full can be brought to the Hoboken Recycling Center at 1501 Madison Street.
Get it ready
Dry out a partly used can of latex paint with cat litter, speedy dry or newspaper strips before putting it in the garbage, and never put a liquid can in the bin. Keep batteries out of recycling altogether: alkaline batteries go with garbage, lithium ion batteries go out with electronic waste on Thursday, and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a home improvement retailer.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out after 7:30 p.m. in a lidded container

Hoboken asks for every item to be placed at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, in a container with a tight fitting lid, and garbage may weigh no more than 50 pounds. The city warns that failing to follow the collection ordinances and the recycling rules can bring a summons, and buildings with more than 50 units also have to comply with the waste containerization ordinance in Chapter 110 of the Municipal Code, with containers approved by the Department of Infrastructure.

Thursday is the metal, yard waste and electronics night

Thursday night carries metal furniture, appliances, yard waste, electronic waste, paper recycling and cardboard, and those streams are collected on Friday morning before noon by crews that are separate from the garbage round. Appliances need their doors removed, electronic waste covers computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones with lithium ion batteries, and yard waste needs separated piles with tied branches, while paper and cardboard have to be dry, flattened and secured.

The two recycling streams never mix

Commingled recycling goes out on Monday night and takes plastic, glass, beverage cartons and metal, with only plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 and nothing bagged, foamed, paper or cardboard. Paper and cardboard go out on Thursday night, flattened and secured, with no plastic bags, Styrofoam, glass or plastics. Everything has to be empty, clean and dry, and the city points residents to the free Recycle Coach tool and the recycling coordinator for anything unclear.

Hoboken Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Works

Use the city bulk removal and collection nights

A Hoboken household with a mattress, a couch, a dresser or another large item that can be carried to the curb on a collection night.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, for which the city runs the garbage, recycling and bulk removal programmes without a published per item fee.
Arrange it
Sort the item by material, then put it out after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area: non metal furniture and mattresses on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night, and metal furniture or appliances on Thursday night for the Friday morning round.

The collection is a curbside programme rather than an in-home service, so the household has to carry the item out, and putting construction debris or hazardous material out with it breaches the city rules instead of removing the problem.

See the collection schedule

Hoboken Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Works

Use the Thursday metal and electronic waste round

A Hoboken household with a refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove, air conditioner, televisions, computer or cell phone to dispose of.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route. The city lists these items in the Thursday stream without a per item charge and points to a New Jersey Clean Energy Program rebate that may pay for recycling an old appliance.
Arrange it
Put the item out after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon by the metal and electronics crew.

The metal crew only takes metal furniture and appliances, so a small non metal appliance such as a coffee maker or blender goes with the regular garbage, and every battery has to stay out of the recycling bins.

Check the Thursday rules

Hoboken Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Works

Save chemicals for the county hazardous waste days

A Hoboken household with non latex paint, varnish, turpentine, pesticides or another household hazardous product.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes the hotline and the twice yearly programme but no fee, so confirm the details on the environmental hotline at 201-324-6222 extension 3219.
Arrange it
Call the Hudson County Improvement Authority environmental hotline on 201-324-6222 extension 3219 to get the drop-off dates, which the city says run twice a year, and bring the material then rather than putting it at the curb.

The programme is a periodic drop-off rather than a standing facility, and it does not take ordinary garbage, yard waste, appliances or electronics, so a household has to store the material between events.

See the hazardous waste note

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Hoboken is a curbside city, so self haul is rarely the answer. Almost everything a household wants gone goes out with one of the city's own collection nights: mattresses and non metal furniture with the garbage on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights, and metal furniture, appliances, yard waste, electronic waste, paper and cardboard on Thursday night for a Friday morning pickup. Everything goes to the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, in a lidded container, with garbage under 50 pounds and the doors removed from any refrigerator, washer, dryer or oven. Recycling goes out in two separate streams, commingled plastic, glass, cartons and metal on Monday night with only plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5, and paper and cardboard on Thursday night. The two exceptions are construction debris, which the city does not collect at all and which has to be hauled privately, and household hazardous waste such as non latex paint, varnish, turpentine and pesticides, which waits for one of the Hudson County Improvement Authority drop-off days booked on 201-324-6222 extension 3219. A latex paint can that is empty or dried out can still go with the garbage, a can more than half full can be brought to the Hoboken Recycling Center at 1501 Madison Street, and the same counter hands out free blue bins and free paper yard waste bags to residents with proof of address.

City recycling drop-off counter and yard waste bags

Hoboken Municipal Garage and Recycling Drop-Off Center

1501 Madison Street, Hoboken, NJ

Free recycling containers for residents, free paper yard waste bags and a drop-off for a latex paint can that is more than half full. The city also lists this address as the recycling coordinator's office and the place to collect the bins.

Residents have to bring proof of residency, and the published allocation is up to one recycling container for every five units in a building, so a large building claims its containers through the same counter. Construction debris, hazardous waste, appliances and furniture are not a drop-off here.

Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The recycling coordinator is on (201) 420-2000 extension 1320 and recycling@hobokennj.gov.

No charge. Hoboken residents with proof of residency, who receive the recycling containers and the yard waste paper bags free of charge at this counter.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Hoboken?

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.

Which night do large items go out in Hoboken?

It depends on the material. Non metal furniture and mattresses go out with the regular garbage on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday nights, and non metal furniture with metal parts, such as an upholstered chair with wood or metal legs or a sofa bed, also goes with the garbage. Metal furniture and appliances go out on Thursday night and are collected on Friday morning before noon.Official guidance

Will Hoboken take a couch at the curb?

Yes. A non metal couch is collected with the regular garbage on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday nights, and the city specifically allows non metal furniture with metal or wood legs and sofa beds to go out that way as well. A metal framed piece instead waits for the Thursday metal night and the Friday morning pickup, so sort the item before setting it out.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a mattress in Hoboken?

Put it out with the regular garbage. The city lists mattresses in the same curbside stream as non metal furniture on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights, at no published charge and with no appointment, so a mattress does not need a special collection or a trip to a transfer station.Official guidance

When do appliances go out in Hoboken?

On Thursday night. Metal appliances including refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, hot water heaters, air conditioners and small metal appliances are collected on Friday morning before noon by a separate crew, and all doors must be removed from refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves. Small non metal appliances such as a coffee maker or blender go with the regular garbage instead.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Hoboken?

To the curb on Thursday night. The city collects computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones as electronic waste on Thursday for the Friday morning round, and lithium ion batteries go out with them. Small non metal appliances such as vacuums, coffee makers, blenders and food processors are separated out and go with the regular garbage, and alkaline batteries also go with garbage.Official guidance

How do I dispose of a treadmill in Hoboken?

Ask the recycling coordinator first, because exercise equipment is not named in the city schedules. A metal framed machine fits the Thursday metal night and a non metal machine fits the non metal furniture rule that goes out with the garbage on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday, but the city does not say which a treadmill is, so confirm on (201) 420-2000 extension 1320 before setting it out.Official guidance

Will Hoboken collect construction debris?

No. The city states that construction and demolition waste such as sheet rock, concrete and treated lumber is not collected by the City of Hoboken and must be hauled privately, so a renovation load never goes to the curb with the household collection.Official guidance

Where do Hoboken paint and pesticides go?

To the Hudson County Improvement Authority household hazardous waste drop-off days, which the city says run twice a year and which are booked through the environmental hotline on 201-324-6222 extension 3219. Non latex paint, varnish, turpentine and pesticides must never go to the curb, while a latex paint can that is empty or dried out can go with the garbage and a can that is more than half full can be brought to the Hoboken Recycling Center on Madison Street.Official guidance

Who do I ask about a Hoboken waste question?

The recycling coordinator, Dave Calamoneri, at 1501 Madison Street, on (201) 420-2000 extension 1320 or recycling@hobokennj.gov, with counter hours weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Household hazardous waste questions go to the Hudson County Improvement Authority environmental hotline on 201-324-6222 extension 3219.Official guidance

What happens to batteries in Hoboken?

They never go in recycling, and the city states that plainly. Alkaline batteries can be put out with the regular garbage, lithium ion batteries go out with the electronic waste on Thursday night, and compact fluorescent bulbs should be taken to a home improvement retailer while incandescent bulbs and lighting fixtures go with the garbage.Official guidance
