2City curbside pickup in Harrison
Harrison’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
Town of Harrison clean-out and white goods collection (mattresses not named)
Harrison addresses on the Town's collection route. The Town addresses tenants as well as landlords — 'Both owners and tenants are liable for compliance with the recycling laws' — and publishes no building-size or unit-count cutoff and no apartment or private-hauler exclusion.
Conditions and source
A twice-monthly route that runs every month of the year, by zone: Zone 1 on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, Zone 2 on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday, Harrison Avenue on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, and Frank E. Rodgers Blvd. on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday. 'The Pick-Up Schedule will remain in effect on all Holidays.' In November 2026 that fell on November 4 and 18 for Zone 1 and Harrison Avenue, and November 11 and 25 for Zone 2 and Frank E. Rodgers Blvd. What the route takes is given only by category: 'CLEAN-OUTS – Generally bulky household goods; does NOT include construction debris, car parts, rocks, propane cans, bags of plaster, cement, etc.' White goods are separate: 'Large appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, etc., and including large metal items, such as fencing, etc.' A mattress is named on neither list and among none of the exclusions, so whether the route takes one is not established by anything the Town publishes. Set out 'after 6:00 P.M. on the day prior to the scheduled pick-up', in specified containers or tied bundles, and note that 'the garbage men are in town by 3:00 A.M.' Bagged trash is barred from the curb: 'You cannot place bags of any type (plastic, food-store, etc.) on the street -- it must be in a proper receptacle.' The Department of Public Works is at 600 Essex Street, 973-268-2296.
Not confirmed: A mattress is named nowhere in the Town's clean-out definition and nowhere among its exclusions, so whether this route takes one is not established. The exclusions are specific to construction debris, car parts, rocks, propane cans, plaster and cement, and their silence on bedding is not a refusal.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for a clean-out and no Town page calls it free, so no price is established.
Not confirmed: No limit is published on the number of items per clean-out day.
Not confirmed: No wrapping or bagging requirement for a mattress is published; Harrison's ordinances could not be located on any public code platform, so whether one exists in the code is not established.
Not confirmed: Where collected clean-out material is taken is not published, so no recycling or disposal outcome is established.

What Harrison itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Harrison confirms its bulk dates month by month in a notice as well as on the annual schedule, which is how a resident checks the route is running. The notice posted October 30, 2026 and headed 'November 2026 Bulk Garbage Pickup Schedule | Town of Harrison, NJ' gave Zone 1 — all streets north of Harrison Ave. — and Harrison Ave. the dates November 4 and 18, and gave Zone 2 — all streets south of Harrison Ave. — and Frank E. Rodgers Blvd. the dates November 11 and 25. The notice carried the same two definitions the annual schedule uses, '*Clean-outs—Generally bulky household goods. NOT: construction debris, car parts, propane cans, bags of plaster, cement, etc.' and '*White goods—Large appliances, such as washing machines, refrigerators, etc. (with doors removed); large metal items, such as fencing, etc.', and named the Department of Public Works at 600 Essex Street, Harrison NJ 07029, 973-268-2296. Those November 2026 dates match the first-and-third and second-and-fourth Wednesday pattern the annual schedule sets for every month, so a reader who has missed them can read the next month's dates off the same pattern. Mattresses are not named in this notice either. Source Not confirmed: The monthly notice does not name mattresses, state a fee, or set a limit on items, and adds no wrapping rule.
