For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in New Jersey. You get the network, the deliveries, and the state rules that change the buy.

How we work in New Jersey
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every New Jersey site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in New Jersey
At New Jersey job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
New Jersey rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the New Jersey rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
New Jersey’s recycling rules, N.J.A.C. 7:26A, treat source-separated concrete, asphalt, brick, block, asphalt-based roofing scrap, and wood as Class B recyclable material, which needs Department approval before a recycling center receives, stores, processes, or transfers it. Mixed loads go to a permitted solid waste facility. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may haul septic waste
NJDEP’s transporter guide says companies hauling waste generated by someone else need a license, commonly called an A-901 license, along with a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and registration decals for their vehicles. The guide’s list of regulated wastes includes septic tank clean-out waste pumped from septic tanks and cesspools, and it cites separate septic waste transporter rules. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
NJDEP’s transporter guide summarizes N.J.S.A. 27:5I-1: a roll-off on a highway or public property needs written consent from the municipal, county, or state authority in charge of it, plus teal reflective diamond markers at least 18 by 18 inches at both ends, mounted with at least 3 feet of clearance above the road. In Jersey City, Ordinance 24-027 caps a dumpster permit in the right-of-way at 7 days, extendable twice to 21, and no more than 21 days at one project location in any 180-day period. Other New Jersey towns set their own rules.
Public disposal cost
New Jersey’s Recycling Tax is $3.00 per ton of solid waste, charged on solid waste facilities based on what they accept for disposal and on collectors in certain transactions. Recycling centers aren’t solid waste facilities for this tax. That’s a state fee on disposal, not a customer price. More on disposal fees is in the landfill tipping fees guide.
