What Asbury Park itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Asbury Park sets its curbside window by ordinance and changes collection in its business district for the summer season. The city's garbage and recycling page states that "Containers may be placed curbside after 5 p.m. the day before collection and must be removed by 6 p.m. the day of collection (Ordinance 19-2.1)", which is the same evening window the bulk page applies to bulk items. The seasonal rule is published in the city's own words: "Business District trash collection runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from May 1 through September 30. Recycling collection remains unchanged for residents in this area." Garbage is collected twice weekly by zone and recycling once weekly. Source Not confirmed: The city does not say whether the May 1 through September 30 business district schedule changes the bulk waste day for addresses in that district.
- The Asbury Park Recycling Center is a city-run drop-off that does not take bedding. It sits at 9 Main Street, Asbury Park, using the Springwood Avenue entrance across from the Transportation Center, and opens Monday through Friday 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The city routes electronics there because they are refused at the curb - "Electronics are not collected curbside" - and the center's accepted list is itemized as TVs, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, copiers, stereos, VCRs, DVD players, cell phones, cameras, and wires and cables. The city also states that grass clippings "are not collected curbside and are not accepted at the Recycling Center". Bedding appears nowhere in the center's accepted list, and the city directs mattresses to its curbside bulk waste run instead. Source Not confirmed: The Recycling Center's published accepted list covers electronics and recyclables only and does not name a mattress either as accepted or as refused, so its bedding policy is not established.

No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on NJDEP pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress collection is handled by counties/municipalities. Source

- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
