Bulk pickup of large items (furniture, appliances, mattresses) is scheduled through the resident's contracted hauler - Waste Management or Republic Services. Newark provides no centralized municipal bulk pickup. Drop-off at the Licking County Recycling Center is also an option.
Because Newark uses a private-hauler subscription model rather than a single municipal contract, bulk pickup rules differ by hauler. Waste Management and Republic Services both typically allow a limited number of bulk items per year as part of standard service, with additional fees for large appliances, mattresses, or construction debris. The Licking County Recycling Center accepts most non-hazardous bulk items year-round, and the county runs seasonal HHW events for paint, batteries, and electronics. Illegally dumping bulk items at curbside or vacant lots is a §660.04 (Litter) violation.
Illegal dumping under §660.04 is enforced as a §698.02 misdemeanor - typically fourth-degree (up to $250) for first offense, escalating to third-degree (up to $500) for repeat offenders.
