Morris County MUA Transfer is the county transfer station in Parsippany where residents and small haulers drop off household refuse to be compacted and shipped out. It’s the kind of place locals use when the curb won’t take something or a quick trip to a landfill isn’t practical. Expect a working, no-frills yard rather than anything polished.
Pull up to an entrance booth and follow the flow of traffic - there’s usually a scale and a short wait if it’s busy. The yard is large, with concrete tipping areas and compactors, and recycling containers off to one side. Staff will direct vehicles where to unload, so have the load organized before getting to the ramp. Weekends and spring cleanup draw the longest lines; weekday mornings are noticeably quieter.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose material so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving through town.
- Sort trash and recyclables in the truck or car beforehand to speed unloading - it saves time when an attendant points you to a specific spot.
- Avoid peak times like weekend afternoons or early spring cleanup days if possible; even a short delay at the booth can turn into a 20–30 minute wait when it’s busy.
