Garbage Collection:

Gaeta is Waldwick's solid waste and recycling collection contractor.

Garbage will continue to be collected curbside twice weekly. See Garbage Collection Map.

Mondays & Thursdays Collection - West of, and including, Franklin Turnpike to Wyckoff border.
Tuesdays & Fridays Collection - East of Franklin Turnpike to Saddle River border.

Containers per collection	Two 50 gallon/50 lb containers
Bulk pickup collection	Two items per month, must schedule with Clerk’s Office
