Summary

Burlington County accepts bulky waste at its Resource Recovery Complex in Florence. The Complex includes a Class B recycling facility for bulky materials plus a bulky-materials center that handles tires, wood waste, construction debris, and white goods such as refrigerators and washers.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Burlington County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

The Complex includes: a state-of-the-art landfill, on-site transfer station, convenience center... Class B recycling facility for bulky waste materials.

Full Breakdown

Curbside bulk pickup is arranged by your municipality, but the county's disposal infrastructure handles the material. The Burlington County Resource Recovery Complex, per the county's own description, includes "a state-of-the-art landfill, on-site transfer station, convenience center... Class B recycling facility for bulky waste materials, household and conditionally exempt very small quantity generator hazardous waste facility, and a biosolids composting facility." Special wastes - tires, wood waste, construction and demolition debris, and white goods (refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners) - are processed at the bulky-materials recycling center; appliances containing freon are stockpiled separately so the freon can be recovered before scrap-metal transport. The Convenience Center at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road, Florence, lets residents drop off items directly.

Violations & Fines

Improper disposal (illegal dumping of bulky items on public or private land instead of proper drop-off or pickup) is enforced under state littering and dumping law and municipal ordinances, not by a county fine at the Complex.
