Waste Management - Julia Street Transfer Station

864 Julia St, Elizabeth, NJ 07201

(908) 289-1383

Small, working transfer station on Julia Street in Elizabeth that locals use when a trip to a distant landfill isn't worth it. Trash and bulky loads get compacted here and then hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. Handy for household cleanups and short hauls from nearby neighborhoods.

A small entrance booth and a scale are near the driveway, so vehicles slow down and often stop before the tipping area. The drop-off is a concrete floor with big roll-off containers and constant truck traffic; backing in to dump is common. The site looks industrial-gravel, concrete, and mud when it rains-so expect a gritty worksite rather than a tidy dump. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so plan for short waits at busy times.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads with a tarp or straps; passing trucks and gusts will scatter debris if things aren’t tied down.
  • Bring gloves and have bulky items separated from smaller trash to make unloading quicker and cleaner.
  • Try for early weekday mornings to avoid the weekend rush; mid-morning on Saturdays tends to be the busiest.
