Junk removal in Hightstown

Hightstown is a compact borough of about 1.27 square miles in Mercer County, completely surrounded by East Windsor Township. Whether your home is downtown near where Route 33 meets County Route 571, along Stockton Street or out by Peddie Lake, clearing out big items through the Borough takes some planning: Public Works collects bulk and metal items by appointment only, each piece needs a Waste Disposal Sticker bought ahead of time, and everything has to be set out at the curb.

If hauling a couch up from the basement or dragging an old fridge to the street isn't realistic, we can help. Text a few photos to (855) 655-7552 and you'll usually get one upfront price within minutes during business hours. Once you agree to it, we can most often haul it away that same visit, carrying everything out from wherever it sits and sweeping up after. Usable items get donated and metal and electronics are recycled whenever possible. There's a $250 minimum.

Good to know in Hightstown

  • Hightstown is an independent borough entirely surrounded by East Windsor Township, and East Windsor addresses also use the 08520 ZIP code. East Windsor runs its own bulk pickup through the East Windsor Garbage District, so check which municipality your home is actually in before following either set of rules.
  • Hightstown Borough Public Works handles bulk collection (furniture and household junk) and metal collection (appliances, grills, metal beds) as separate pickups. Both are by appointment only, and every item needs its own Waste Disposal Sticker bought ahead of the collection.
  • Before the Borough will take a refrigerator or freezer, the doors have to be removed from the hinges and the freon removed by an authorized contractor.
  • Borough curbside collection won't take construction debris (beyond small amounts in the Borough-provided container), tires, computer equipment, oil-based paint or liquid latex paint.

Hightstown junk removal FAQ

Does Hightstown pick up bulk trash?

Yes. Hightstown Borough Public Works collects furniture and household junk, and separately collects appliances and other large metal items, by appointment only. Each item needs a Waste Disposal Sticker bought ahead of time and has to be put out at the curb, so check the current schedule with Public Works. If you'd rather not wait for a pickup day or move heavy things yourself, we carry items out from inside the house, garage or yard, and same-day or next-day openings are often available.

My address says Hightstown 08520. Which bulk rules apply to me?

It depends on which municipality you actually live in. The 08520 ZIP code is used by Hightstown Borough and also by addresses in East Windsor Township, which surrounds the borough. Borough homes use Hightstown Public Works. East Windsor homes go through the East Windsor Garbage District, which has its own bulk schedule and doesn't serve some private communities that handle their own trash. We serve both, and our pricing works the same either way: one upfront price for the job.

Can you take things the Borough won't pick up at the curb?

The Borough won't collect construction debris beyond small amounts, tires, computer equipment, oil-based paint or liquid latex paint, and fridges and freezers need their doors and freon removed first. We handle renovation debris, old appliances and electronics, and recycle metal and electronics whenever possible. Oil-based paint and other hazardous waste should still go to one of the Mercer County hazardous waste collection days.
