Curbside trash collection in Essex County is arranged by each municipality, either with a town department or a contracted hauler. Countywide disposal is planned by the Essex County Utilities Authority, which handled over 533,000 tons of solid waste in 2020.
Trash collection schedules, container rules, and set-out times are municipal in Essex County; Newark, East Orange, Bloomfield, and other towns run or contract their own curbside service. The Essex County Utilities Authority (ECUA) is the county's designated planning and disposal agency under the NJ Solid Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E district planning). ECUA develops the Essex County Solid Waste Management Plan and coordinates where waste is disposed; per ECUA, in 2020 more than 533,856 tons of solid waste was disposed of and 752,613 tons of recyclables were collected countywide. For your pickup day, contact your municipality.
Missing set-out times, using non-approved containers, or placing prohibited items curbside brings municipal fines and skipped pickups. Amounts and rules are set by each town's collection ordinance.
