Trash Collection Information
Regular Weekly Trash Pickup
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.
Garbage should be placed at the curb by 6 am on your scheduled collection day, and no earlier than 9 pm 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, mattress, box spring, paint cans (completely dried out and empty), or rolled and tied rug/carpet (approximately 110 square feet, no more than 4 feet long).
If you have any trash collection questions or concerns, please call the Randolph Township Department of Health at 973-989-7050.

Certain types of household waste such as oil-based paints, stains, paint thinners, used oil, pool chemicals, herbicides/pesticides, propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and asbestos under 100 pounds 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.
