“Don’t dump your bed, call us instead!”

Newark Public Works launches weekly curbside mattress collections to fight illegal dumping across the city.

The Division of Sanitation has formed a dedicated crew of employees to collect mattresses on the following schedule:

  • Central Ward: Monday
  • East Ward: Tuesday
  • North Ward: Wednesday
  • South Ward: Thursday
  • West Ward: Friday

 

Residents are instructed to leave no more than two sets of mattresses per household. Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, as per Newark’s new city ordinance.

Residents can also drop off old mattresses at our service centers Monday through Saturday from 7 AM – 3:30 PM, OR residents can call (973) 733-3644 to make an appointment for pick up.

Newark Public Works urges residents to take the right steps in properly disposing of old mattresses. The Department appreciates your cooperation in keeping Newark clean.
