How disposal works in New Jersey
In New Jersey, the county runs the dump. Most counties have one landfill run by a county authority, open to residents who haul their own household waste, and prices are by weight: $86.55 a ton in Cape May County, $87.05 in Salem, $89 in Gloucester, about $90 at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority, $93.80 in Monmouth, $96 in Warren and $105.44 in Burlington, each with a small minimum.
Two rules surprise people. Rental trucks are turned away: a homeowner can haul without a state hauler registration only in a passenger or non-commercial vehicle. And TVs and computers can't go in the trash under state law, so county sites take them free. Car batteries are banned from the trash too.
