Bulky-item pickup is arranged by your municipality, but Camden County runs free Household Special Waste (hazardous waste) collection events several times a year and accepts rechargeable batteries at the Pennsauken landfill.
For everyday bulk items like furniture and appliances, collection is set by your municipality or its hauler, often by appointment or on scheduled bulk days. For hazardous and hard-to-dispose materials, Camden County's Division of Environmental Affairs holds Household Special Waste Collection Days several times each year, open to county residents. Rechargeable batteries may be dropped off for recycling at the Pennsauken Sanitary Landfill and at many retailers including Home Depot, Lowe's, Staples, and Verizon Wireless. Camden County was the first county in the state to mandate recycling, in 1985. Rental trucks are not accepted at county disposal facilities per NJ DEP.
Improper bulk set-out or illegal disposal of hazardous waste is enforced under municipal ordinance and state solid-waste law.
