Fort Lee residents may dispose of bulky items such as furniture and appliances through scheduled pickups or drop-off, following Borough rules.
Bulk waste in Fort Lee includes oversized items like mattresses, sofas, and large appliances. The Department of Public Works typically requires residents to schedule a bulk pickup or use designated bulk weeks rather than placing items with regular trash. Refrigerant-containing appliances must have refrigerants reclaimed and certified before pickup. Construction debris from contractor work is generally the contractor's responsibility, not the Borough's.
Illegal bulk dumping triggers fines and potential cleanup cost recovery.
