Toms River Township has two types of extra pickups that can be scheduled - Metal and Extra Collections (non-metal). Items that can not be picked up curbside but must be brought to the Recycling Convenience Center include but are not limited to tires (off rim), paints, electronic equipment, empty propane tanks, motor oil, and batteries. Remember, we do not pickup move outs or an excessive volume. If you have a large amount of debris, please contact a private removal service.

Definitions & Schedules:

Metal:

Definition: Items made primarily of metal. Examples: Washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, wrought iron railings, grills, bathtubs, exercise equipment, metal poles, folding chairs, hot water heaters, metal tanks, etc. Newer dishwashers that are made of plastic are picked up as non-metal/extra collection. Due to a Federal law, Freon must be removed from refrigerators, dehumidifiers, etc. The appliance must have a sticker attached by a licensed service company. Empty propane tanks must be brought into the Recycling Convenience Center.

Metal pickup schedule: Put items to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the Monday following your request. Items will be picked up during that week (not just on Monday but sometime between Monday and Friday of that week). One list is compiled for each week.

Extra Collections (non-metal):

Definition: This is for pickups that are not primarily metal and do not fit into the Robo can. (If you live in an area of town that does not have the Robo cans, you can just put items out for your regular weekly collection; you do not need an extra collection.) Examples are furniture, carpet, mattresses, etc. Remember those items such as carpet, lumber and other long items must be cut into four-foot sections tied/bundled in some manner and weigh no more than 50 lbs. This does not include furniture.

                                                      Special Collection schedule: Put items to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the day after your normal sanitation collection. Items will

                                                      be picked up that day.
