Ocean County Landfill accepts bulk disposal by appointment or drop-off. Municipalities offer scheduled bulk pickup — Toms River provides monthly bulk curbside, Brick operates by appointment. Appliances with refrigerant must be tagged per N.J.A.C. 7:30 (CFC removal). Post-Sandy construction debris from continuing rebuild projects is excluded from residential bulk and must go to C&D transfer stations.
Bulk item disposal in Ocean County is coordinated between municipal public works and Ocean County Landfill. Toms River offers scheduled monthly bulk pickup (one item weeks, see township calendar) for residents. Brick Township operates bulk by appointment through DPW. Jackson runs annual spring and fall cleanup weeks. Lakewood coordinates bulk through private haulers. Residents may also haul directly to Ocean County Landfill (601 New Hampshire Ave, Manchester) with proof of residency for reduced tipping fees. Eligible items: furniture, mattresses (must be wrapped in plastic per NJ bedbug rules), carpet, large toys. Appliances containing refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) must have CFC tagged-removed by certified technician under N.J.A.C. 7:30. Electronics must go to e-waste drop-off (Ocean County Recycling Center) — NJ Electronic Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.94) prohibits e-waste in landfills. Construction and demolition debris from Sandy rebuilds must go to licensed C&D transfer stations — not residential bulk.
Illegal dumping: $2,500 to $25,000 per N.J.S.A. 13:1E-9.3. CFC venting: NJDEP fines up to $50,000 plus federal EPA penalties. Bulk out before scheduled date: $50 to $200 code enforcement. E-waste in trash: $100 to $500.
