ATTENTION HARRISON RESIDENTS
The Town of Harrison would like to make residents aware of the importance of recycling
and the proper procedures that must be followed. All household garbage must be kept
separate from recycled materials.
All cardboard/newspapers must be tied or bundled. Please make sure that cardboard
boxes are broken down and then tied with natural fiber rope. Boxes must be stored neatly
and bundled together to prevent them from scattering on the street and sidewalk. If you
have papers/mail this must be stored in either a trash can, a brown paper bag or a
cardboard box and should be included with your recycling. Do not place any
cardboard/paper in a plastic bag. Cardboard and paper must be kept separately from any
type of plastic or co-mingled recyclables.
All co-mingled recyclables must be stored in either a recycling container or a clear plastic
bag. Co-mingled recyclables include glass food and beverage bottles, aluminum cans, metal
food cans and plastic bottles. Do not store any recycled items in cardboard boxes and do
not overfill your recycling container.
Bulk pick up is scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month for the North Side of
Town and the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month for the South Side of Town. There will
be no bulk pick-up on the 5th Wednesday of the month. Bulk items may be placed at the
curb after 6pm on the evening before the scheduled pick-up.
Do not place propane tanks, batteries or electronic waste (computers, TV’s, etc.) at the
curb. Please call the DPW (973-268-2296) to schedule a pick-up for these items.
Please use leaf bags for all leaves and contact the DPW for removal of leaves and tree
branches. Do not mix these items with the regular garbage.
Employees from the DPW and the Health Dept. will be monitoring the garbage to insure
that residents are adhering to proper recycling procedures. Warnings and/or summonses
will be issued to violators.
If you have any questions or concerns kindly contact the Health Department (973-2682441) or the DPW (973-268-2296) during normal business hours. For your convenience, a
