Clifton is one of the easier towns for us to fit in on short notice, partly because it is minutes from our Passaic yard and partly because most addresses here have a driveway, so there is no street permit to arrange first. Call (973) 685-5272 and we will tell you within the hour whether your address can be done.
Clifton's Rules for the Collection of Garbage say bulk waste consists of mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber or rugs (cut to 4-foot lengths and tied). Bulk waste is collected on the first garbage day of the week, meaning a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and is to be placed neatly at the curb after 6 PM the night before the collection day, with a maximum limit of 2 items, first collection only. The rules say not to place bulk waste out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. If moving day is a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, keep bulk items inside until the night before the first garbage day of the following week.
The same rules say computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs will not be collected with garbage. They can be donated to a charitable organization or brought to the Recycling Center at City Hall Complex, 900 Clifton Avenue, or the Public Works Yard, 307 E. 7th Street.
The rules say questions regarding collection should be directed to 973-470-2239, and that failure to comply with the regulations could result in a summons.
Clifton's Rules for the Collection of Garbage also cover garbage limits, propane tanks and household hazardous waste.

Before you book the date: Clifton publishes a two-item bulk limit on the first garbage day of the week. We quote it from the town's own page in Moving day rules in New Jersey, town by town.
Local moves in Clifton start at $699. Clifton prices differently than the cities south of it, because most of the housing here is single-family with a driveway. The truck usually parks on the property, so the long carries and permit problems that drive up a Jersey City or Newark job mostly do not apply.
What drives a Clifton price is volume. Capes, split levels and Colonial Revivals come with basements, attics and garages, and that is where the hours go. A three to four bedroom in Allwood, Richfield or Rosemawr typically runs $2,600 to $3,200. Multi-family in Botany Village or Lakeview is a different job, with stairs at both ends and street parking rather than a driveway.
Long distance out of Clifton is quoted as a binding estimate starting at $1,350. One price before the truck loads, unchanged at delivery. Call (973) 685-5272 for a free estimate, no hidden fees and no obligation.
Two to three weeks for a standard Clifton move, four to six weeks between May and September. Clifton is close enough to our Passaic yard that we can often be flexible on short notice, and it is one of the few towns where we can send a foreman to walk the house in person rather than doing the estimate by video.
Book the walkthrough before you book the date. Clifton homes hide volume in basements, attics and garages, and a house that looks like a three bedroom on paper often loads like a four. Seeing it is the difference between one truck and two.
