Bulk Waste is collected once per month according to the week numbers posted on the WM service calendars. To view the service calendars please visit www.plumsted.org and click on the PMUA tab to locate the appropriate calendar.

If you reside in the East section for household waste, your bulk pick up is on Thursday of Week #2.

If you reside in the West section for household waste, your bulk pick up is on Friday of Week #3.

Bulk waste will be picked up once per month, encompassing an area no larger than 4' by 4' by 8', includes the following:

  • Furniture - needs to be under 100 pounds; any piece over 4 feet by 4 feet needs to be broken down into safe, manageable pieces
  • Rugs - rolled and tied; cut into 3 foot sections
  • Box springs/mattresses (see section below on MATTRESSES & TOILETS for more information)
  • Dry wall and other building material resulting from home remodeling and home repair work performed by the resident or owner but excludes general contractors or commercial builders. Construction material must be placed in containers each not weighing more than fifty (50) pounds and not exceeding more than 100 pounds per collection. Wood must be cut in sections each less than four (4) feet in length.  Any sharp/exposed nails or screws need to be removed or bent down flat.
  • Large glass - must have "safety break" tape on it

NOTE:  Electronic equipment (such as computers, telephones, fax machines), household appliances (such as toasters and microwave ovens) and large appliances (such as washing machines, dryers) are not considered bulky waste.  These items can be taken to the Township's recycle center, 2 Cedar St, adjacent to the Police HQ. Hours of operation are Wednesday from 1pm until 5pm and Saturday from 8am until noon.

MATTRESSES & TOILETS:  Beginning January 1, 2021, it is required that all mattresses/toilets left out for pickup on the bulk service day be wrapped in plastic or placed inside a zippered plastic mattress cover. Queen/King sized mattresses should be folded and tied up in order for it to fit in the truck. This is a looming health and safety issue and necessary to protect the drivers when they are handling the mattress/toilet.
