Clark Township Bulky Pickup Program — 2026
Curbside pickup throughout Clark Township · Curbside pickup throughout Clark Township
Clark Township provides bulk waste collection to help residents dispose of large household items conveniently while keeping neighborhoods clean. The program operates on a simple ward-based schedule throughout the year.
Bulk pickup is free and requires no appointment. Clark divides the township into four wards, each with a designated pickup week every month. Ward 1 is picked up the first week, Ward 2 the second week, Ward 3 the third week, and Ward 4 the fourth week. Items may only be placed at the curb on the Saturday or Sunday before your ward's scheduled week. Placing items out too early is a violation of township ordinance.
Acceptable items include furniture, doors, windows, garden tools, toys, rugs (cut up and tied), storm screens, and miscellaneous household items. Items must be placed between the curb and sidewalk in boxes, bags, or containers—never loose in the street. Unacceptable items including appliances, metal, mattresses, concrete, tires, and paint cans will be left at the curb and must be removed by the resident. Scrap metal and appliances require a separate online request for pickup. Residents can also donate unwanted items to local organizations instead of discarding them. For the complete 2026 schedule and full guidelines, check Union County Life or contact Clark Township.
