One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.

Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

Furniture is bulky waste in Plainfield, so it leaves by appointment through the utility or as a drop-off load at the transfer station, never on the regular trash route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two standard bulk disposals per calendar year, per property location, are included with service for Plainfield property owners, and only the property owner may reserve an appointment. A drop-off load at the transfer station is billed by weight under the utility's published rate schedule, and an on-demand pickup carries its own published fee.
When & how
Call customer service at 908-226-2518 to book a bulk appointment. Appointments are first come, first served, and a second standard disposal can be requested after 90 days within the calendar year.
Get it ready
Keep the item whole and ready for a two person lift, and set it out only when the appointment is confirmed. For a drop-off trip, bring identification and proof of residency or property ownership, because the transfer station is open to Plainfield residents and property owners only.
Anything that will not fit a container is bulky waste, collected by appointment or dropped at the transfer station, with two standard disposals a year included for a property location.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two standard bulk disposals per calendar year, per property location, are included with service for Plainfield property owners, arranged first come, first served and only by the property owner.

When & how

Bulky waste is never taken on the regular trash day. Only the property owner can reserve an appointment, appointments are first come, first served, and the City counts two standard bulk disposals a year per property location as included with service.
Schedule the mattress pickup first, then wrap the mattress completely in plastic before the crew arrives, because the utility will not pick up an unwrapped mattress. The rule exists to protect the crews and the neighborhood.
The Plainfield Environmental Resource Center at 95 Rock Avenue is open to Plainfield residents and property owners, who must show identification and proof of residency or property ownership. Contractors need a DEP sticker, posted vehicle weights apply, and cash, check, Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
