City collection Toms River schedules bulky pickups rather than collecting them with the trash. A household may request one bulk collection a month for items that do not fit the robo can, and furniture is on the non-metal list, where it does not have to be cut up. Furniture is also accepted at the Recycling Convenience Center. No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly bulk collection, which the township publishes as a resident service with a one per month limit and no collection fee. The centre route is for township residents with proof of residency, two household visits per month.
City collection Mattresses are named on the township's non-metal bulk list, so they go out on the monthly scheduled collection. The Recycling Convenience Center's accepted list does not name mattresses, so the scheduled pickup is the published route. No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly bulk collection, which the township publishes with a one per month limit and no collection fee.
City collection Metal appliances ride the separate metal collection, which also takes wrought iron railings, metal poles and bikes. A federal rule requires freon removal from refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers by a licensed service company with a sticker on the appliance, and newer plastic body dishwashers go out as non-metal bulk instead. No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly metal collection, which the township publishes as a resident service with no collection fee, provided the unit is metal and any freon has been certified as removed.
City collection Bulky material is scheduled in Toms River rather than set out with the garbage. Each household may request one bulk collection a month for items that do not fit the robo can, with metal and non-metal handled as separate pickups, and the township does not collect move outs or excessive volumes. No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses, one bulk collection per month at no published collection fee, for household items that fit the robo can rule and the volume expectation. Additional robo containers are bought separately.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Toms River collects garbage and single-stream recycling with its own crews, and bulky material is scheduled rather than set out with the trash. Each household may request one bulk collection a month, split into a metal pickup for appliances, railings, poles and bikes and a non-metal pickup for furniture, carpet and mattresses, with carpet cut into four foot strips, rolled and tied. Freon appliances need certification from a licensed technician before they go out. Everything the curb does not take has a township destination instead: the Recycling Convenience Center at 1672 Church Road takes electronics, furniture, paint, batteries, tires off rims and small amounts of construction debris from residents, while hazardous products and larger demolition loads leave through Ocean County.
Toms River schedules bulky pickups rather than collecting them with the trash. A household may request one bulk collection a month for items that do not fit the robo can, and furniture is on the non-metal list, where it does not have to be cut up. Furniture is also accepted at the Recycling Convenience Center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly bulk collection, which the township publishes as a resident service with a one per month limit and no collection fee. The centre route is for township residents with proof of residency, two household visits per month.
When & how
Call 732-255-1000 and choose option 1, then put the furniture at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the day following your normal weekly sanitation collection. Move outs and excessive volumes are not collected.
Get it ready
Furniture does not have to be cut up, but carpet in the same load has to be cut into four foot strips, rolled and tied in bundles that weigh no more than 50 pounds each. Keep construction material out of the load and keep the load clear of the robo can.
Mattresses are named on the township's non-metal bulk list, so they go out on the monthly scheduled collection. The Recycling Convenience Center's accepted list does not name mattresses, so the scheduled pickup is the published route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly bulk collection, which the township publishes with a one per month limit and no collection fee.
When & how
Call 732-255-1000 and choose option 1, then put the mattress at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the day following your normal weekly sanitation collection.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and reachable from the curb, and count it with the rest of that month's bulk request. Carpet in the same request has to be cut into four foot strips, rolled and tied under 50 pounds.
Metal appliances ride the separate metal collection, which also takes wrought iron railings, metal poles and bikes. A federal rule requires freon removal from refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers by a licensed service company with a sticker on the appliance, and newer plastic body dishwashers go out as non-metal bulk instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses using the monthly metal collection, which the township publishes as a resident service with no collection fee, provided the unit is metal and any freon has been certified as removed.
When & how
Call 732-255-1000 extension 8170 to be added to the metal pickup list, then put the item at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the day following your normal sanitation collection.
Get it ready
Have a licensed service company remove the freon and attach a sticker to the appliance before it goes out, and remember that a newer dishwasher with a plastic body is collected as non-metal bulk rather than metal. Empty propane tanks belong at the Recycling Convenience Center.
Electronics go to the township's Recycling Convenience Center rather than the curb. The accepted list is all televisions, computer towers, laptops, tablets and computer monitors of every size and type, dropped off year round with identification proving Toms River residency.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Toms River Township residents with proof of residency and identification, using the Recycling Convenience Center, where household material is limited to two visits or loads a month and no fee is published for drop-off.
When & how
Drop the items at 1672 Church Road, open Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on all holidays. Call 732-255-1000 extension 8103 with questions.
Get it ready
Bring identification showing Toms River residency. Keep screens whole, keep monitors with their cables, and remove personal data from computers, laptops and tablets before drop-off. Tires off the rims are also accepted at the same site, limited to four per monthly visit.
The township does not collect construction or demolition debris at the curb. Residents may bring no more than two 35 gallon containers of it to the Recycling Convenience Center twice a month, and larger quantities go to the Ocean County Landfill in Manchester Township.
City cost & eligibility
The small containerised loads are part of the resident convenience centre service, but the township publishes no gate rate for the county landfill it routes larger loads to, so confirm the current charge with the county before hauling.
When & how
Containerised debris goes to the Recycling Convenience Center, and larger quantities go to the Ocean County Landfill on State Highway 70 in Manchester Township with the county contact at 732-323-8528.
Get it ready
Containerise the debris so the yard attendants can identify the quantity, because loose material is refused. No contractors and no demolition loads are allowed at the centre, loads must be secured and tarped, and dirt, sand, fill, fire damaged material and asbestos shingles are refused there and routed to the county landfill.
Exercise equipment is not named on either bulk list. The metal route names appliances, railings, poles and bikes and the non-metal route names furniture, carpet and mattresses, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the township before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for exercise equipment and the township does not name the category on either list, so call 732-255-1000 and ask whether the machine belongs on the metal or the non-metal pickup before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Call 732-255-1000 before setting the machine out, then place it at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the day following your normal sanitation collection as directed.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, tape the cables to the frame and keep the pieces together so one person can handle each one. Drain any water or oil reservoir before the machine is put out.
Bulky material is scheduled in Toms River rather than set out with the garbage. Each household may request one bulk collection a month for items that do not fit the robo can, with metal and non-metal handled as separate pickups, and the township does not collect move outs or excessive volumes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Toms River Township residential addresses, one bulk collection per month at no published collection fee, for household items that fit the robo can rule and the volume expectation. Additional robo containers are bought separately.
When & how
Call 732-255-1000 and choose option 1 for non-metal items or extension 8170 for metal, then put the items at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the day following your normal weekly sanitation collection. Holiday weeks shift collections by one day.
Get it ready
Keep the request to one month's allowance, cut carpet into four foot strips rolled and tied under 50 pounds each, and keep construction debris, hazardous products and anything a private removal service should handle out of the pile. Households that overfill the robo can may bring the excess to the centre twice a month.
Tires are taken off the rim at the township's Recycling Convenience Center, limited to four per monthly visit and limited to car and light truck tires. The centre asks that the tire be separated from the rim before it is brought in.
City cost & eligibility

When & how

Get it ready
Take the tire off the rim and keep the rim separate, and bring no more than four tires on a monthly visit. Tires are not part of the curbside bulk request.
Hazardous products leave through Ocean County rather than the township. The county runs the hazardous material programme, registration is required, and the township's partial accepted list covers automotive aerosols, driveway sealer, mineral spirits, kerosene, antifreeze, gasoline, pesticides, stains and varnishes and mercury thermometers.
City cost & eligibility
The programme is run by Ocean County and the township publishes no fee and no current dates, so register through the county system and confirm the schedule and terms before loading.
When & how
Register for an Ocean County hazardous material collection appointment through the county registration system, and watch for the dates the county publishes each year. Events are held at the Public Works facility on Church Road when they are scheduled.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers and never mix them, and keep stains, varnishes, gasoline, kerosene, antifreeze and mercury items out of the trash and out of the recycling container. The county also runs a free document shredding programme that is open to all residents, not only the host town.
Everything out by 6:30 a.m., containers back by 9 p.m.
Garbage, recyclables and bulky items go to the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, and empty containers come back in by 9 p.m. that same day. Non-automated addresses may set containers out after 7 p.m. the night before, and robo containers belong in the roadway with the wheels and hinge facing the house, four feet clear of anything else and nothing on top.
Bulky items are scheduled, not set out with the trash
A household requests one bulk collection a month by phone, choosing the metal or the non-metal pickup, and the items go out by 6:30 a.m. on the day after the normal weekly sanitation collection. Move outs and excessive volumes are not collected and are referred to a private removal service.
Federal law requires the freon to be removed from air conditioners, refrigerators and dehumidifiers by a licensed service company, and the appliance must carry the sticker that proves it. A plastic body dishwasher is collected as non-metal bulk instead of metal.
The Recycling Convenience Center is for township residents with proof of residency, allows no contractors, no demolition and no commercial vehicles, takes vehicles no larger than a pickup truck with rental pickups under 8,000 pounds, and limits household material to two visits or loads a month. Loads must be secured and tarped, and construction debris has to arrive containerised in no more than two 35 gallon containers.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
