Trash Disposal

West Amwell provides a fee-based trash disposal depot at the municipal complex, 150 Rocktown Lambertville Road.  The fees are set such that they cover the cost of disposal (the tipping fees) plus the cost of the labor to operate the equipment and maintain the facility.

Private trash collection services are also available to residents who prefer private collection to the West Amwell trash disposal option.  This site does not contain a list of these private trash collection vendors.

Hours of Operation:  Wednesday, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday, 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

Note:
  • Please drive carefully and be mindful of surrounding equipment and cars.
  • In the event of mechanical failure, please follow the directions of the attendant(s) on duty.
