Truck Drop Off - Self Load

The Pitman Public Works Department offers a Dump Truck Drop Off program.  This allows residents to schedule a truck to be dropped off at their property to self load yard debris items only.  This is sometimes more convenient than placing to the curb because items generally do not have to be cut up as per the curbside requirements.  We do not offer this program for bulk trash or any other purpose.

We allow branches, leaves and grass, basically anything naturally growing in your yard.

We will not accept larger than 6 inch diameter logs and root balls with dirt, concrete, construction lumber etc..... 

Request a truck by clicking the "Truck Drop off Request Form" link to the right or just give us a call at 856-589-1040.
