Bulky-waste pickup is arranged by each Middlesex County municipality, but the county provides free household hazardous waste and paint drop-off events for residents, and the MCUA landfill in East Brunswick accepts bulk waste under its rate schedule.
Curbside bulky-item collection of furniture, mattresses and large household goods is scheduled by each of the 25 municipalities, not the county; residents follow their town's bulk-pickup calendar or drop-off program. The county's contribution is a countywide Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and paint drop-off program run by the Solid Waste Management Program, free to Middlesex County residents on scheduled Saturdays and Sundays at rotating sites such as Middlesex College in Edison, Old Bridge Department of Public Works and county highway yards. Accepted HHW includes paints, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and car batteries. For large-volume disposal, waste is directed to the MCUA Middlesex County Landfill on Edgeboro Road in East Brunswick, which charges under its published solid-waste rate
Illegally setting out bulky waste off-schedule is a municipal ordinance matter enforced locally. Hazardous materials must never be placed in regular trash; residents must use the county HHW drop-off events. The landfill enforces its own DEP-permitted acceptance and rate rules.
