TVs, computers & electronics: check the Hoboken rules above before you set anything out or drive it to a drop-off.

Don't do this

  • Don't put a TV out on a garbage night.
  • Don't set it out before 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
  • Don't leave it in the recycling bins.

Or pay someone to haul it

If you can't get it to a drop-off site, or can't wait for city pickup, a junk-removal service can take it from inside your home. Prices depend on the company, your location and the size of the load, so get a quote first. Ask whether they recycle or donate items and whether they follow Hoboken's rules, especially for electronics and paint. Another option is to hire moving helpers by the hour: they do the lifting, and with a truck they can drive it to a drop-off site. They move it where you tell them, so pick a legal destination from this guide.
