Bulky-item pickup is arranged by your municipality, not Passaic County. The county coordinates the district solid-waste plan and operates recycling drop-off programs, but curbside bulk collection and appliance rules are municipal.
Passaic County's Office of Recycling & Solid Waste runs the district plan and supports countywide programs (household hazardous waste, electronics, tires), but bulky-item curbside pickup (furniture, mattresses, appliances) is scheduled by each municipality. Some towns collect bulk on set days or by appointment; others direct residents to the county's recycling and special-waste events. White goods with refrigerants require certified refrigerant recovery. Contact your municipal public-works department for bulk pickup and the county recycling office for drop-off and hazardous-waste event dates.
Set out of bulk waste outside your town's rules, or illegal appliance dumping, is enforced by municipal ordinance and, for illegal dumping, state law with substantial fines.
