Bulk Waste Pick Up Back In Westfield. See The Schedule

WESTFIELD, NJ - It took weeks of negotiating and a special meeting to get it done, but the Westfield Mayor and Council authorized a contract for residential bulk waste pick-up to Republic Services Tuesday morning.

The cost of the permit remains unchanged from last year, at $185 per 750 pounds of waste, which may be shared among neighbors. Pre-registration by Sept. 27 is required to participate.

In the coming days, each household will receive detailed information regarding acceptable items, procedures and registration via mail; this information is also currently available on the Town’s website, including a printable registration form.

Residents may submit their registration as follows:

• By mail: Mail with payment of $185 per 750 pounds of waste, check only, made payable to “Town of Westfield” to the Westfield Department of Public Works, 959 North Avenue West, Westfield, NJ 07090. All applications must be postmarked no later than Sept. 27.
• In person: Applications may be brought to 959 North Avenue West, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sep. 27. Registration can also be left in the exterior mail box after hours. Payment can be made by check only, payable to “Town of Westfield.”

Acceptable bulk waste materials must be placed curbside by 6 p.m. on the Sunday before the ward’s collection week and no sooner than the Friday before. Materials may not be placed in the street.
