In New Jersey, whenever someone plans to dig, they are required to contact the utility companies to request a “mark out”. The utility company will mark the location of its underground utility lines. Each utility company uses a different color to mark its lines, as shown in the list below.

Red = Electric
Yellow = Gas, Oil
Orange = Cable
Blue = Water
Green = Sewer
Pink = Temporary Survey Mappings
White = Proposed Excavation

If you plan to dig, please call 811 or (800) 272 – 1000 It’s FREE and it’s the LAW

Mattresses can harbor bed bugs, dust mites, and other pests that can spread during handling and transport. A sealed plastic bag will prevent these pests from moving to the collection truck, other curbside items, or the workers.

An uncovered mattress exposed to rain or snow can absorb significant amounts of water, potentially doubling its weight and exceeding the allowable weight limit for the employee. Wrapping also ensures that loose materials remain contained. Foam, fabric scraps, and stuffing from damaged mattresses can scatter during collection. It’s important to use sheet plastic or a mattress disposal bag, NOT a regular trash bag. Plastic items are available at hardware stores, moving supply shops, or online.

Slide the mattress in the bag or wrap with the plastic sheeting, fold any excess plastic at the open end, and seal it securely with heavy-duty packing tape. Apply tape along every seam, paying special attention to the corners and the opening, to create a fully enclosed seal without gaps that pests could escape through, moisture could enter, or debris could exit. Place at the curbline for bulk trash collection.

Any mattress or box spring that is not properly prepared will NOT be picked up after May 11, 2026. Please adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions and refer to the guidelines we have provided. Any questions or concerns, please contact our department at 856-428-5499. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping to protect our workers and keep the community clean.

*Mattresses include, but are not limited to, bed, crib, futon, and sofa MATRESSGUIDELINES
