Salem County Landfill (New Jersey) — SCIA Convenience Center Days, 2026 Fees & Rules
Salem County residents drop off bulky items at the Salem County Improvement Authority's convenience center, 36 McKillip Road in Alloway, at the county landfill. It runs on a seasonal schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in summer, and Wednesday and Saturday in winter.
Loads are weighed in and out at $87.05 a ton for 2026 (the Authority says it averages about 3¾ cents a pound), with a $5 minimum. Electronics, books and clothing are free.
Check in at the scale house with your license plate number, your town and what you're bringing. You're weighed full, unload by hand where you're directed, then weighed empty; you pay for the difference. Unloading must be finished by 3 p.m. Pay with cash or a credit card (2.5% extra); personal checks aren't accepted.
The center is meant for garage and attic clean-outs and do-it-yourself projects. Keep free items (books, clothing, TVs, computers, laptops, printers) separate from bulky items so they aren't weighed in.
