Large Trash Items
There are two separate large item pick-ups scheduled at different times of the month:
- Large Trash Pick-Up
- Large Metal & Appliance Pick-Up (https://www.morristwp.com/175/Large-Metal-Items)
Please be sure to request the appropriate pick-up based on your items. If you have both types of items, you will need to complete a request form for each pick-up.
Obtaining the Service
Large items such as mattresses, box springs, rugs, large glass doors, and similar items will be collected on a designated Friday. Please see the schedule below for details.*
To request a collection appointment, you may:
- Call the Department of Public Works (DPW) at 973-326-7398, or
- Submit an Online Request Form.
If you have large metal or appliance items, please refer to this page for specific information and to submit a separate request.
Important Notes:
- All requests must be submitted at least one (1) week or more prior to the scheduled collection date.
- Requests will be processed in the order they are received. The DPW will make every effort to accommodate all requests.
- If your request cannot be accommodated or if there are questions, you will receive a phone call or email from our office with an explanation.
Collection Guidelines:
- Wrap large glass doors with cardboard and secure with tape.
- Rugs must be cut, rolled, and tied, with each roll weighing no more than 50 pounds.
- Mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in plastic before placing them out for disposal.
- Items should not exceed four (4) feet in length.
- If you are moving, please notify the DPW well in advance to coordinate pick-up.
Items will be collected by a separate vehicle. Please review all collection guidelines carefully to ensure smooth processing.
