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 Newark
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Newark mattresss go on scheduled bulk days (Zone A 1st Wednesday, Zone B 2nd Wednesday) — max 10 items; covered mattresses up to 3. Keep HHW and C&D off bulk piles.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Essex County Utilities Authority (ECUA) household hazardous waste collection events — Newark has no permanent HHW depot. Latex paint is typically not accepted at events; confirm ECUA rules. Keep chemicals off bulk piles.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Newark electronics including e waste mixed drop at the Essex County Electronic Recycling Depot, 62 Frelinghuysen Ave (Mon–Fri 8–4; Sat 8–12:30). Wipe data. Keep TVs out of trash/recycling carts.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Newark 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. Newark DPW — Trash & Bulk is the official Newark 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.
