Schedule a Bulky Waste Pickup

• Place your trash at the curbside by the day you say it will be ready for pickup. Your pile will be picked up within eight days from the date you indicate you are ready for pickup.
• Trash should be placed within 10 feet of the street and at least five feet from mailboxes, parked cars, trees, utility poles, sprinkler heads and other obstructions that might be damaged by the collection equipment.
• A 15-foot clearance is required from the ground to the lowest hanging tree branch or power line.
• Tree limbs in the pickup pile should be no more than five feet long.
• Only up to three cubic yards of wooden fence is allowed. 

Duplex owners have the option to combine up to four bulky waste pickups into 1 pickup of up to 100 cubic yards. Anything in excess of 25 cubic yards per pickup will exhaust the next available pickup.

This means if you set out 35 cubic yards, the additional 10 yards will exhaust pickups #1 and #2. You will then have 2 pickups remaining.

If you have used your available bulky waste pickups or you have more than 50 cubic yards for collection, you can use one of the following options to manage your bulky trash:

• Take your trash to one of the 13 Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Centers.
• Inquire about for-fee bulky waste service. The cost is $25 per cubic yard. The Excess Yardage Approval Form, signed by the property owner, is required for removal of excess bulky waste.
• Contact a private hauler to remove the excess trash for a fee.

• Furniture - sofas, chairs, tables, cabinets and carpets (must be rolled).
• White goods or appliances - stoves, refrigerators, freezers (refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed), water heaters, washing machines, dryers.
