The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Cut and tied lumber rides the bulk list like furniture, while brick, concrete and stone are banned from the garbage and have no city route.
City cost & eligibility
Lumber and rugs are on the bulk waste list when they are cut to four foot lengths and tied, inside the two item limit, but the garbage rules forbid dirt, stones, brick and concrete, and Clifton publishes no drop-off for masonry or a contractor load. A small amount of dimensional lumber can therefore ride the bulk collection while a renovation load has to be handled privately, so confirm the material and the volume with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239.
When & how
Cut and tie any lumber for the first garbage day of the week, keep it inside the two item limit, and arrange a private haul for masonry, concrete or anything larger.
Get it ready
Cut lumber to four foot lengths and tie it, keep rugs rolled and tied the same way, and keep brick, concrete, stone and dirt out of the garbage barrels and off the bulk pile, because the city refuses those materials and a violation can draw a summons.
Twice a week, three containers, nothing before 6 PM
Clifton collects garbage twice a week across six days of collection, and the only day the city skips is Christmas Day. Each collection is limited to three barrels or securely tied plastic bags, and the containers cannot exceed 35 gallons. Everything goes neatly to the curb after 6 PM the night before, never into the street, and the empty receptacles come back in the same day and are stored out of sight behind the home. Dirt, stones, brick, concrete and hazardous waste are not allowed in the garbage, and collection questions go to 973-470-2239.
Bulk waste has one window a week and a two item ceiling
The bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, and the set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection. Clifton allows a maximum of two items on that first collection, lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied, and nothing goes out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A piece that misses the window waits for the following week.
Electronics, propane and masonry never ride the truck
Electronic items are the resident's responsibility and are not collected with the garbage, so computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs go to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex or the Public Works Yard instead. Propane tanks belong to the homeowner, will not be collected and can lead to a summons if they are put out. Dirt, stones, brick and concrete are barred from the garbage, and household hazardous waste waits for one of the Passaic County collection days.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Clifton.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Clifton?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Clifton?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Can construction debris go out with the garbage in Clifton?+
Only in a narrow way. Lumber and rugs are on the bulk waste list when they are cut to four foot lengths and tied and fit the two item limit on the first garbage day of the week, but the city forbids dirt, stones, brick and concrete in the garbage, and it publishes no municipal drop-off for masonry or a contractor load. A larger renovation load is therefore a private arrangement.Official guidance
Can bulk waste go out any day in Clifton?+
No. Bulk waste is collected on your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and the city will not take it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before, the limit is two items on that first collection only, and lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied.Official guidance
