High-intent Edison guides
Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Bulky pickup in Edison
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Edison mattresss go out on a scheduled special pickup — call Public Works at 732-248-7288 to arrange collection rather than setting items out on a regular trash day. Keep hazardous chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Edison has no permanent household hazardous waste depot. Take motor oil to a Middlesex County HHW collection event — the county publishes dates and host sites each season on its recycling programs and events page. Hold materials in sealed original containers until an event date; never pour chemicals down a drain or put them in the trash cart.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
New Jersey bans covered electronics from disposal, so Edison e waste mixed goes to the Edison Recycling Center, 745 New Durham Road, rather than the trash cart. Confirm current hours before you drive over, and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction and demolition debris is the property owner's or contractor's responsibility, not a township special pickup. Order a container or use a licensed C&D hauler. Route leftover paint to a county HHW event.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Edison yard waste follows the township's seasonal leaf and brush collection schedule; residents can also drop yard debris at the Edison Recycling Center on New Durham Road.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Edison recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Edison Township — Garbage Regulations is the official Edison program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
