Same-day and next-day moves in Clifton cover lease endings, job relocations, and tight timelines. 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 has the tightest bulk rule of any town we work in regularly, and it catches almost everyone mid-move. Bulk waste means mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, with rugs and lumber cut to four-foot lengths and tied. It goes out on the first garbage day of your week, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, placed neatly at the kerb after 6 PM the night before. The limit is two items, on that first collection only.
Two items is a couch and a mattress. It is not a basement. If you are clearing a house, the discard plan needs a second route from the start, whether that is a container, a hauler or repeated weeks. Working that out during the walkthrough is the difference between a clean handover and a pile that sits on the verge after you have gone.
Bulk must not go out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A Friday or Saturday move, which is most of them, cannot leave anything at the kerb on the way out. The workable version is to stage discards inside, hand the keys over, and have someone put two items out the following Monday evening. Collection questions go to 973-470-2237.
The two recycling points, the centre at the City Hall complex on 900 Clifton Avenue and the public works yard at 307 E. 7th Street, are the way around the two-item ceiling for anything that fits in a car. A couple of car runs during packing week removes more than a month of kerb collections would.
Clifton has 35,620 housing units, 16,239 of them single-family detached and 8,240 in two-unit structures. That two-family share is the one that shapes the work: shared entries, interior stairs and a neighbour's half of the driveway to respect while the truck is loading.
The current rules are published on the Clifton rules for the collection of garbage.

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.
