Trash Containers
Township residents can now use trash containers of 35-gallon, 65-gallon or 95-gallon. Residents may purchase (recommended) a 95-gallon container from Priority Waste for $110 plus a $15 delivery fee. Purchased containers will be warrantied by Priority. Residents may also choose to continue using or purchase their own trash containers.
Large Item Collection
Large items (furniture and appliances) are collected on a weekly basis. They must be out at the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day. This service is part of the trash program.
For collection of Freon containing appliances (refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner), please notify Priority Waste the day before pick-up. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed. A separate truck collects these appliances for removal of the Freon. This service is part of the trash program.
Medical Sharps Collection
If your doctor prescribes home treatments requiring the use of syringes with disposable needles or lancets (commonly referred to as medical sharps), you can dispose of them through a specialized service. Used and discarded needles should be placed in a specified sharps container which are available at most pharmacies or any puncture proof container, such as an empty detergent bottle or coffee can that is taped shut.
When ready to discard, containers should be clearly visible and marked MEDICAL SHARPS. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE LOOSE NEEDLES IN YOUR TRASH!
Medication Disposal
Prescription medication can be dropped off at the Township Police Department anytime. All medication must be in a sealed container in a ziplock bag. No needles or over the counter medications. Residents can also bring expired or unused medications to the Township's annual Electronic Waste Recycling event for safe and responsible disposal.
Hazardous Waste
Most households contain materials that can be hazardous and must be disposed of carefully. Improper disposal can be dangerous to people and the environment. Learn more about items that are considered hazardous waste and nearby drop-off facilities.
Electronic Waste
Electronic waste, such as old computers, monitors, printers, cell phones, and other small appliances are not included with regular curbside trash or recycling collection. The Township offers residents a drive-thru drop-off service once per year to collect and recycle these materials. Alternate collection options in the area are also available throughout the year. Learn more about recycling electronic items.
Keeping Bloomfield Beautiful
Each spring the Township organizes a weekend event called Clean Sweep for residents to clean up debris from the safety paths and roadways that is deposited during the winter season in the community. Volunteers are encouraged to participate.
