What can go in the pickup?
A scheduled cleanup covers up to three cubic yards OR one qualifying large item (no more than five feet or 75 pounds); excess can cost extra.
Large items must be no more than 5 feet and 75 pounds under the documented cleanup option. Use the city or hauler procedure above. Confirm whether the item counts toward an included allowance and whether an appointment is required.
The City allows one appliance or large item (maximum five feet and 75 pounds) as the alternative to the three-cubic-yard load. Commercial refrigerators are specifically excluded. Confirm refrigerant and appliance preparation with Republic.
Newark expressly permits e-waste and certain construction/demolition debris within the scheduled cleanup allowance of up to 3 cubic yards. Household hazardous waste, paint/thinners, concrete, motor fluids and certain automotive materials are NOT accepted. Verify your particular item when booking.
Fees, limits and other disposal options
Newark residents also have two annual Newby Island Landfill passes, each permitting up to four cubic yards. These are separate from three scheduled curbside cleanups. Obtain passes from Republic Services before travel; bring proof of Newark residency. Passes are not handed out at the landfill.
Exact household charges, weight and item-preparation requirements can differ by property type or account. Do not use a nearby city’s pricing for Newark.
