Garbage and Recycling

Suburban Disposal (Roselle) performs garbage collection in the Borough of Allendale under a contract with the municipality. Collection on the west side of Allendale takes place on Mondays. Collection on the east side of Allendale takes place on Tuesday.

During the summer, there are two collections during the week; west side is Mondays and Thursdays; east side is Tuesdays and Fridays. The NJ Transit Railroad divides the borough in half. 

Side yard collection is available but requires the homeowner to set up the pick-up with a separate contractor for a fee, not the borough: Side Yard Pick-up Application

Please place all items out on curb after 6pm the day before. DO NOT BLOCK SIDEWALKS OR ROADWAYS.

Holidays

When collection falls on a borough holiday, collections for the week will be made the next day throughout the week—Monday on Tuesday, Tuesday on Wednesday, etc. Holidays include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Inclement Weather

Every attempt is made to collect during inclement weather. Although the weather may disrupt or delay collections, the contractor is required to collect garbage. Please remember that it is the responsibility of each property owner to make sure that the contractor has safe access to the collection point. All snow and ice must be removed or treated so they can collect it safely. Do not place items on top of snow banks.

The Department of Public Works employees work from 7:00am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday. You can contact the DPW by calling (201) 818-4410.
