Linden curbside bulk collection (Priority Waste)Pickup service · LindenLinden residentsCost not listed
How it works
Under the city contract with Priority Waste (January 2025–December 2029), Linden households may put out one bulk item per week with Wednesday trash collection. Mattresses and box springs should preferably be bagged; appliance doors must be removed; freon must be removed and tagged by a licensed technician before a freon appliance goes to the curb.
Cost & rules
- Before you go: Bagging is recommended but not required.

Before you go

Don’t assume a box spring is priced like a mattress; ask separately.
Tell the operator if it’s a split (two-piece) box spring; some charge per piece.
Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs before you go.
