Does Union City pick up outdoor items?

Union City Bulk Collection Service operates by request with 10-18 business day waits, essentially up to four weeks of delays for 68,000 residents in one of New Jersey's densest cities. The free program creates scheduling bottlenecks in neighborhoods where storage space doesn't exist. Hudson County Utilities Authority charges $30-48 per self-haul load.

What happens to your outdoor item after pickup

Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.
