Morris County has two transfer stations located both the eastern and western sides of Morris County to manage the solid waste disposal needs of Morris County.   Waste accepted at the transfer stations is dumped on a tipping floor and loaded into transfer trailers for transport to the MCMUA's designated disposal locations in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Note: As of July 12, 2009 an extension letter will be required from NJDEP if your disposal decals are expired.  This is in accordance with a letter dated June 30, 2009 by NJDEP.  Contact Michael Gage of the NJDEP at 609-684-4191 for more information or click here to view a PDF of the letter.
