Twice weekly garbage pickup, zero bulk item scheduling.
$79 Flat Rate for Single Items
Newark Department of Public Works manages regular garbage pickup twice weekly but bulk items fall outside their standard service coverage for 311,000 residents. The system lacks defined bulk pickup scheduling or clear fee structures. PCFA Transfer Station charges $20-35 per cubic yard for self-hauling.

Newark's bulk pickup has limits — we don't
Ironbound and University Heights residents work around the gap between regular service and bulk item needs. PCFA Transfer Station requires transport to Newark and charges by volume, creating unpredictable costs for household cleanouts. 1-800-GOT-JUNK schedules estimates before revealing $150-600+ pricing, while local haulers quote $100-350 with varying service levels across the city.
