Burlington County Department of Solid Waste

Unnamed Road, Columbus, NJ 08022

(609) 499-5300

Burlington County Department of Solid Waste in Mansfield is the county-run place locals use for household trash, yard debris and recyclables. People bring everything from car loads to small trailers, depending on what needs tossing. Fees and accepted items vary by location, so what’s handled there can differ from other sites.

The site sits off Unnamed Road and looks more industrial than a neighborhood drop-off - paved driveways, big containers and steady truck traffic. At county facilities like this there's usually an entrance booth and a scale; plan to pull up, tell the attendant what’s being dropped and expect to stop again to be weighed. Recycling and yard-waste areas are typically separated from general trash, so things are unloaded in different spots and lines can form around those areas. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and trailers are common in the queue.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with tarps and straps before leaving home - loose leaves, branches or debris can blow out and slow unloading.
  • If towing a trailer, approach slowly and give yourself room for turns; some of the drive aisles are narrow with truck traffic.
  • Sort recyclables and yard waste in the vehicle beforehand so unloading goes faster and avoids extra trips between containers.
