You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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 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.
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.
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.
