Ocean Disposal Co Inc is the local disposal site in Cranford that residents bring household and yard toss-outs to. A neighborhood-scale place along N Ave E that sees regular local traffic from nearby towns. People using it are usually hauling carloads or small trailers rather than commercial trucks.
Drive up the access road and you'll pass an entrance booth where vehicles stop before proceeding onto the property. There's a scale to drive over, so plan to stop twice if weight is collected at entry and exit. The lot is open with roll-off containers and a few concrete tipping areas; it looks like a working disposal yard rather than a clean recycling center. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of waiting during peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or tarps for loose loads - debris can shift while driving and some items tend to blow out on windy days.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; weekends fill up quickly, especially in spring and after storms.
- Have your load organized before pulling up to the booth so unloading goes quicker - separate anything likely to be bulky from loose bags.
