Weekly Paid Bulk Pickups

If residents have bulk items that urgently need removal, you may visit Borough Hall to pay to have bulk items scheduled for curbside pickup by our DPW crew on Friday mornings.

Residents may also save some pickup fees by delivering approved (and paid for) bulk waste items themselves to the Kenilworth Department of Public Works yard on any Friday or on the first and third Saturday morning of each month. 

Drop-off bulk items must be paid for in advance (at a lower price) after paying for a drop-off permit at Kenilworth Borough Hall Clerk's Office.  

Payments and scheduling is done by the Borough Clerk's office.  

Payments MUST be received by 1:00 pm on Thursday for a Friday pickup. Payments must be in the form of cash or check only.  If paying by cash, you must have exact change.
