Junk removal in Manchester

Manchester Township covers about 82 square miles of Ocean County. It shares the Lakehurst naval air base, site of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster, with neighboring Jackson. Most residents live in Whiting, on the west side, which takes in Crestwood Village, Cedar Glen Lakes and Pine Ridge and is home to several retirement communities. Pine Lake Park is the township's largest development. Manchester also wraps all the way around Lakehurst, a separate borough with its own rules.

Township Public Works picks up bulk items at the curb twice a year, by zone, and residents with a township vehicle sticker can drop bulk at the Whiting Recycling Center. There's also a special bulk pickup when a homeowner dies or a resident moves out of town, which the resident or a family member requests in person at Town Hall. Crews won't take renovation debris like drywall or shingles, and once they pass your home they don't come back. If you can't wait, or everything is still inside, text photos to (855) 655-7552 for one upfront price. We carry it all out, sweep up, and most jobs are hauled the same visit.

Good to know in Manchester

  • Manchester Township Public Works runs curbside bulk pickup twice a year and leaf and brush pickup twice a year, on dates set by zone or community. The township says it collects no more than 8 cubic yards of bulk (about 5 feet wide, 4 feet high and 10 feet long) from a home per pickup, and once crews have passed a home they won't return.
  • Residents with a township-issued vehicle sticker can bring household waste, recyclables and bulk items to the Whiting Recycling Center on Sam Pitts Road, off Route 70. Stickers go only to people who live in the township. You need a driver's license and the vehicle's registration, plus a utility bill as proof of residency if they don't show a Manchester address.
  • The township offers a special bulk pickup for the death of a homeowner or a resident moving out of Manchester, but not for move-ins. A resident or family member must request it in person at the Public Works office in Town Hall, with proof of residency and a death certificate, contract of sale or lease as needed. Realtors, landlords and rubbish removal contractors can't apply.
  • Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are only picked up on bulk day with a Certificate of Freon Removal from a certified contractor on the unit. Electronics with cords should be stacked separately at the curb or taken to the Whiting Recycling Center.
  • Lakehurst is a separate borough completely surrounded by Manchester Township, so Lakehurst residents should check the borough's own trash rules.

Crews won't take construction debris, tires, hazardous waste, concrete, tree stumps, propane tanks, or motorized vehicles and boats, and freon appliances need a removal certificate on them. Residents with a township vehicle sticker can also bring bulk items to the Whiting Recycling Center.

Manchester junk removal FAQ

Does Manchester Township pick up bulk trash?

Yes, twice a year. Public Works collects bulk items at the curb on dates set by zone or community, so check the township's current schedule or the Recycle Coach app for yours. There's a limit on how much each home can put out, and once crews pass your home they won't come back. Residents with a township vehicle sticker can also bring bulk items to the Whiting Recycling Center. If you don't want to wait, or the items are still inside the house, we carry them out from wherever they are. Same-day or next-day openings are often available.

What won't Manchester's bulk pickup take?

According to the township's rules, crews won't pick up construction debris such as drywall, shingles, plaster, lumber, siding or insulation at your home. Small amounts can go to the Whiting Recycling Center, and residents are asked to use a private container service for renovations. Tires, hazardous waste like paint and chemicals, concrete, tree stumps, rocks, propane tanks, and motorized vehicles or boats aren't picked up or accepted at the Whiting center, and the township points residents to the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center for some of these. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners need a Certificate of Freon Removal on the unit. For renovation debris or a mixed pile, text photos to (855) 655-7552 and we'll tell you what we can take and give you one upfront price.
