Inter-Regional Disposal is a municipal disposal site in Elizabeth used by homeowners and small contractors hauling everyday household and construction debris. The location on Dowd Ave is a practical spot locals use when clearing out a garage or finishing a remodel.
Drive onto a fairly industrial lot with a small entrance booth and lanes for trucks and trailers. Most disposal sites use a scale and charge by weight, so be prepared to stop at least once on the way in or out. The tipping/unload areas are open and concrete or gravel - bring something to help if items are heavy or awkward. Expect it to get busy on weekends and during spring cleanups, with lineups at the entrance during peak times.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out while driving and unloading goes faster.
- Sort bulky items by type as much as possible in the vehicle - it speeds unloading and keeps things from getting mixed up on site.
- Bring a second person or tools (gloves, straps, dolly) for heavy or awkward items; unloading is easier and safer with help.
