Bergen County residents dispose of bulky items through municipal bulk pickup or by self-hauling to BCUA-approved facilities. The county runs household hazardous waste events and electronics collection programs.
The Bergen County Utilities Authority operates a transfer station in Little Ferry and offers free household hazardous waste days and regular electronics recycling under New Jersey's Electronic Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.94). Bulk furniture, appliances, and construction debris pickup is handled by individual municipalities, often requiring scheduled appointments and per-item fees. White goods with refrigerants must have certifications removed under N.J.A.C. 7:26A. Tires, propane tanks, and certain electronics are banned from regular trash. Residents should review their town's bulk pickup calendar and the BCUA recycling schedule before placing items at the curb.
Illegal dumping under N.J.S.A. 13:1E-9.3 carries fines up to $50,000 and possible imprisonment. Municipal violations for improper bulk setout range from $100 to $1,000.
