Bulky pickup in Paterson
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Paterson mattresss go to the City Yard bulk drop-off — 402 E 16th Street — follow patersonnj.gov sanitation rules for hours, residency, and fees. Keep HHW off City Yard loads when not accepted.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Passaic County household hazardous waste events — dates on passaiccountynj.org. Not City Yard trash. Keep chemicals sealed for transport.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Paterson electronics including e waste mixed should use Passaic County HHW/e-waste events — monitor passaiccountynj.org. Wipe data. Confirm City Yard does not accept e-waste before hauling there.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not typical City Yard household bulk. Hire a private C&D hauler or confirm transfer rules. Route paint/chemicals to Passaic County HHW events separately.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Paterson 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. City of Paterson — Sanitation / Bulk is the official Paterson 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.
