Bridgeton Public Works Department on Florida Ave is the municipal drop-off spot residents use when the usual curbside pickup won’t cut it. It’s where local folks bring truckloads, trailers, or oversized items for disposal and cleanup projects. Located in Bridgeton, NJ, the site handles community waste needs for the city.
Drive in from Florida Ave and you’ll likely see a small check-in booth or weigh station near the entrance, since many public works sites use a scale. The yard is practical rather than pretty - concrete pads, roll-off containers and a few unloading bays are common. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of waiting when neighborhood projects are underway. On the way out there may be another stop at the scale if fees are assessed by weight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and tarp loads before getting to the site so unloading goes faster and no one has to climb through a messy truck bed.
- Bring a buddy for heavy items; some drop-off points require lifting or tipping into containers and a second pair of hands helps.
- Plan for crowds on weekends and seasonal cleanups; fees at municipal sites vary by location and sometimes by weight, so have a payment plan ready.
