BOROUGH'S NEW BULK & RECYCLING  PICK-UP HAULER STARTS JUNE 1ST
***This change does not affect residents who use privately contracted garbage pick-up services.***

Dear Residents,

The Borough of Mendham has awarded a new contract for the collection of bulk solid waste and recyclable materials to Affordable Cartage/Ricova, effective June 1. Please note that collections will be carried out using Ricova trucks.

Collection days will remain unchanged:

  • Monday Bulk Collection — Bulk solid waste

  • Thursday Recycling Collection — Recyclable materials

In accordance with the hauler’s policy—and as a new requirement for the Borough—mattresses will only be accepted if they are placed in disposable mattress bags. These bags can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon, and similar retailers.

Please be advised that Affordable Cartage has different route times than the previous hauler. We advise residents to place their bulk items and recycling curbside the night before, or by 6:00 AM on the day of pickup.

Residents may contact Affordable Cartage at 862‑227‑3824 with any service‑related questions or DPW at 973-543-6535. 

Thank you for your cooperation during this transition.
