About New Jersey.
New Jersey's 8,723 square miles are the most densely populated state in the U.S., featuring highly varied geology across a small area. The Highlands in the northwest have ancient Precambrian crystalline rock with thin, rocky soils. The Piedmont in the northeast (including Newark, Paterson, and Passaic) sits on Triassic red sandstone and shale. The Atlantic Coastal Plain covers the southern two-thirds of the state with sandy, well-drained soils in the Pinelands and heavier soils elsewhere. The Meadowlands near New York City consist of former tidal wetlands and peat that create extreme foundation challenges. New Jersey's humid continental climate in the north and humid subtropical in the south drives construction year-round, with nor'easters periodically causing significant storm damage and cleanup demand.
New Jersey has one of the largest construction markets in the United States, driven by its position between New York City and Philadelphia and its role as the U.S.'s leading pharmaceutical and life sciences hub. The Northern New Jersey market (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Union, and Somerset counties) is effectively New York City's New Jersey suburb, with enormous residential renovation and new construction activity. The Central New Jersey corridor from Princeton to New Brunswick has one of the highest concentrations of pharmaceutical corporate campuses and research facilities in the world. South Jersey (Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Salem, Atlantic City) is a significant secondary market with ongoing casino sector investment.
New Jersey municipalities and counties handle dumpster placement permits locally. Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden, and other cities require permits for street placement, with processes varying by municipality. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates C&D waste disposal, with strict requirements around wetland impacts, contaminated soil, and hazardous material handling. New Jersey has robust C&D recycling infrastructure. Major dumpster rental markets include Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton, Camden, Edison, Woodbridge, and virtually every suburban town in the densely developed North and Central Jersey corridor.
