Bulky items go through the ACUA or your town — the ACUA schedules bulk pickups and runs household hazardous-waste and electronics drop-off at its Egg Harbor Township complex. Dumping instead triggers solid-waste penalties under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-9.
Getting rid of a couch, mattress, or old appliance runs through the ACUA or your municipality. In ACUA-collected towns, bulky waste is scheduled through the authority; Atlantic City routes it through its own sanitation. For paint, chemicals, propane, and electronics that cannot go in the trash, the ACUA runs household hazardous-waste and e-waste drop-off at its Howard "Fritz" Haneman Environmental Park in Egg Harbor Township. The route the law polices is dumping: under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-9, unlawful disposal draws steep civil administrative penalties per violation, with each day a separate offense.
Dumping bulky waste on a lot, roadside, or in a stream instead of using an approved route is a solid-waste violation. N.J.S.A. 13:1E-9 authorizes civil administrative penalties up to $50,000 per violation, each day a separate offense.
