The borough contracts annually for a special collection of what is generally known as bulk collection. Bulk Items are items that are too large to fit in a regular garbage can, such as rugs, carpeting, and split-rail fencing (cannot be longer than four (4) feet in length and must be rolled and tied in liftable bundles), furniture, mattresses, household items, etc.  Small items must be placed in a bag or container—do not put loose items at curbside.  Please see section below for items that will NOT be collected with bulk.

IMPORTANT:  YOU MAY NOT DROP OFF THE BULK  ITEMS ABOVE AT THE DPW YARD! THEY MUST BE PUT AT THE CURB FOR PICK UP BY THE GARBAGE COMPANY.

 All materials for disposal must be placed curbside, separated from normal household garbage, grass, brush materials, and recyclable materials, by 2 AM on the designated MONDAY for your zone. While the actual collections will take more than one day in a given zone, once the truck has completed collection on your street, it will NOT return.

The following items MAY NOT be put out with bulk and MAY NOT be brought to the DPW Yard at any time.  You must arrange for a private disposal company to remove the following items:

The following recyclable items MAY NOT be put out with bulk but MAY be brought to the DPW Yard 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, from 9 AM – 1 PM:

 Household Appliances (washing machines, dryers, hot water heaters, dishwashers, stoves, etc.) NO refrigerators, dehumidifiers, or A/C units.
