Merlins Garbage Collection & Dumpster Rental LLC

Small-town dump on East River Road that locals use for household cleanouts and small contractor drop-offs. A working, no-frills place-more practical than pretty, and often busier on weekends and during spring cleanup. Folks from Rumson and nearby towns swing by when they need to get rid of bulky stuff quickly.

Drive up to a single entrance where there’s usually a booth and a gate to check in; there’s often a scale nearby so vehicles stop twice if they’re charged by weight. Pulling in, expect piles of mixed loads, roll-off dumpsters, and a few marked containers off to the side for recyclables. The lot is gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather, with clear paths for trucks to back up to the drop areas. Weekends get backed up, so lines and slow-moving traffic are common during busy seasons.
