Other notes
- County packet routes western municipalities including Mount Olive, Chester, Mendham, Roxbury, Randolph, Dover, Rockaway and others here; use correct municipality on origin paperwork.
- No tires at Mount Olive. Authority accepts tires only at Parsippany station on Saturdays under its separate program.
- Permanent household hazardous waste facility is within this station complex but requires a separate appointment. Ordinary trash hours do not permit hazardous-waste drop-off without booking.
- Residents may pay per visit by check or card and need not open an account. No cash. For checks, driver license must show Morris County address matching check name/address.
- Payment conflict: an older business FAQ on the transfer page says no cards, while current header, resident FAQ and current fee page explicitly accept cards. Confirm if your payment situation is unusual.
- No rental trucks. Homeowner exception to NJDEP hauling decals is for self-generated household waste in a qualifying noncommercial vehicle. The same page says under 9,000 pounds in one section and 9,000 or less in another; confirm at the exact threshold, with trailers or commercial plates.
- Bring the homeowner Origin and Destination form, identify the actual origin municipality and comply with vehicle/safety rules. No appointment needed for compliant ordinary resident trash disposal.
- No hazardous waste, e-waste, automotive fluids, batteries or propane cylinders in ordinary trash. Mandated recyclables must stay separated from trash.
- Wear hardhat, reflective/high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and eye protection. Sources conflict on loaner PPE: resident FAQ says hardhats/vests lent, fee-page notice says PPE not provided. Bring your own or confirm before travel.
- Account minimums in current packet are $150 homeowner or $750 homeowner with trailer, plus anticipated tipping costs, if choosing to open an account. These are account balances, not a one-visit entrance fee. No account was created.
