Summary

Morris County residents can dispose of bulky household waste at the MCMUA transfer stations in Mount Olive and Parsippany, paying a flat per-load fee. Curbside bulk pickup, if offered, is arranged separately by your municipality and its hauler.

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

Residents may pay a flat fee for disposal, based on the vehicle size and type... The transfer stations do not accept cash.

Full Breakdown

The Morris County MUA operates two transfer stations for solid waste and bulky items: Mount Olive (Mon-Fri 7:30am-3pm, Sat 7:30am-11am) and Parsippany-Troy Hills (Mon-Fri 7am-3pm, Sat 7:30am-11am), both closed Sundays. Residents pay a flat fee per load based on vehicle size and type, by check or credit card only, and 'the transfer stations do not accept cash.' Small non-commercial vehicles under 9,000 lbs carrying self-generated household waste do not need NJDEP decals. Whole tires are accepted for recycling only at Parsippany, only on Saturdays. Loads are inspected and must exclude mandated recyclables, hazardous waste, medical waste, and liquid waste. Curbside bulk pickup, where offered, is a separate municipal service.

Violations & Fines

Loads containing prohibited materials (hazardous, medical, liquid waste, or mandated recyclables) are rejected or written up at the transfer-station scale by MCMUA inspectors.
