Burlington County does not collect residential trash. The county states plainly it "does not provide trash collection services." Curbside pickup is arranged by your municipality or private hauler; the county operates only the Resource Recovery Complex where waste is disposed.
Burlington County's Department of Solid Waste owns and operates the Burlington County Resource Recovery Complex in Florence and Mansfield Townships, where solid waste from all 40 municipalities is accepted for disposal. The county's official Solid Waste page states: "The County does not provide trash collection services." Residential curbside pickup schedules, hauler contracts, and set-out rules are therefore arranged by each municipality (or by private haulers residents hire directly). Residents may also self-haul to the Complex at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road, Florence, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon. Note the county's rule that rental vehicles delivering solid waste to the Complex will not be accepted. For your pickup day and rules, contact your
Missed-collection and set-out violations are enforced by your municipality or its contracted hauler, not the county. At the Resource Recovery Complex, disposal must follow county acceptance rules (for example, rental vehicles are refused).
