Fall Bulk Trash Pickup Dates

Posted August 25th 2025

Summer is winding down, and it’s the time of year when old belongings are on their way out. Whether it be broken furniture, old appliances, or general junk around the house you’re looking to get rid of, you are in luck.

For Avalon residents, bulk trash pickup begins at 7am on Sept. 8. Residents can place the appropriate items on their curbs starting Aug. 29. Construction and remodeling materials are not considered bulk trash items and should not be discarded, as they are not collected at any time.

For Stone Harbor residents, bulk trash pickup will take place on Sept. 15 and Oct. 20. The criteria for items eligible to be picked up are the same as Avalon’s: appliances, furniture, and large trash items are permitted, but building and construction materials are not. For more information in Stone Harbor, call 609-368-7311.

Hazardous waste, such as propane or paint, is not picked up in either town.

The Habitat for Humanity Restore also accepts most household items, tools, outdoor items, and even building materials. This serves as a great option for those who want to get rid of items at any point during the year. The organization even allows you to schedule a free pickup for items at your home, or you can donate the items at the organization’s Cape May County location: 20 Court House South Dennis Road, Cape May Court House.
