Bulky Waste

Montclair Residents receive twice monthly bulky waste collection based on your area of town. Collection days depend on the area of town in which you live. See the Refuse and Bulky Waste Collection Map(PDF, 87KB) for more information or find your collection days on the online township map viewer. Be sure to tick the Layer List boxes for the layers you want to see.

Residents should not dispose of appliances, household refuse, recyclable items, electronics, yard waste, concrete, asphalt, rocks, dirt, or toys with their bulky waste items.

On your scheduled bulky waste collection day, you can dispose of a maximum of three (3) large household items. No item can weigh more than fifty (50) pounds.
