SPECIAL BULK COLLECTION
(ONE TIME PER YEAR)
Bulk Collection occurs once a year in June.
Please check pages 3 and 4 for bulk collection dates and street listings by zone.
The borough contracts annually for a special collection of what is generally known as bulk waste. 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.
BULK ITEMS THAT WILL NOT BE TAKEN
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:
Construction debris and materials, such as sheet rock, concrete, brick, lumber, plaster, roof shingles and other
roofing materials, garage doors, etc.
Firewood, logs, trees, stumps, tree parts or any other type of garden waste
Cardboard and similar packing materials will not be collected, as they are to be recycled on the regular recycling
day. Please see additional information under Recycling Collection on Page 19 of this calendar.
