Trash Collection Information
The Township of Randolph provides residential curbside garbage collection once per week to all township streets with the exception of garden apartment complexes. Collection routes and schedules vary depending upon your neighborhood.
Your garbage should be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, and no earlier than 9:00 p.m. the evening prior to the collection day. Please do not put out trash before the day of the collection; it is unsightly and a potential health hazard. Additionally, empty garbage cans must be removed from the curb no later than sundown on collection day.
- Trash should be left in covered 32-gallon containers or heavy-duty plastic bags and not exceed 30 pounds each.
- Loose household items must be placed curbside in bags or cans (not recyclable cardboard boxes).
- You may put out one large household item on each garbage collection day i.e., couch, chair, TV, mattress, box spring, paint cans (completely dried out and empty), or rolled & tied rug/carpet (no more than 4 feet long).
Items not collected with your trash include:
- Auto parts
Car batteries, mufflers, engines, tires etc. Batteries and tires are accepted at the Recycling Center.
- All recyclables
You may take these items (listed on the recycling information page) to our Recycling Center or leave them out on designated days for curbside pickup of recyclables.
- All building/construction materials
Building/construction materials are not collected and cannot be dropped off at any location in Randolph. Building materials include: sheet rock, lumber, cabinets, bricks, railroad ties, roofing materials, etc. Private arrangements must be made with your contractor or a private sanitation company for collection of any type of building material. Another option is to take them to the Mt. Olive Transfer Station, where you will be charged a disposal fee.
- Items weighing over 200 pounds or longer than 5 feet
Too big! Too big!
- Household hazardous waste
Certain types of household waste such as oil-based paints, stains and paint thinners, used oil, pool chemicals, herbicides/pesticides, propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, asbestos under 100 pounds, televisions and computers are considered potentially hazardous and these items cannot be placed curbside with other household trash. Hazardous materials pose a risk to refuse workers and are harmful to the environment.
Hazardous substances may be brought to the Mt. Olive Transfer Station on Gold Mine Road. In addition, the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MCMUA) holds three events during the year for the disposal of household hazardous waste.
If you have questions about household hazardous waste disposal, call the MCMUA at 973.829.8006. Note: there is a small fee to drop off some materials and payment is required by check, not cash or credit card. Check the MCMUA web site for details.
