Notice: Effective Sept. 1, 2008, the Bulky Item Collection Program transitioned to an appointment-based collection system. Residents were mailed the following notice regarding this transition.
The Bulky Item Collection program DOES ACCEPT:
Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units
Metal appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, and furnaces
Furniture such as couches, tables, chairs, TV's, beds, mattresses and metal furniture
Other items such as bathroom fixtures, cabinets, rugs, garage doors, lawn mowers, railroad ties, disassembled swing sets and metal fencing
Storm windows and glass panes. To help prevent injury, place a large "X" of masking tape across glass panes to prevent shattering and stack them separately from other bulky items.
The Bulky Item Collection program does NOT ACCEPT:
Trash in bags or boxes*
Commercial or business trash or waste materials, including trash or waste from businesses conducted in or from a residence
Piles of stuff, bags or boxes of smaller items
Loose or scattered materials
Closed drums or fuel tanks: metal drums must have both ends removed to be collected
Automobile bodies or gas tanks
Loose building materials and lumber.**
*Trash in bags or boxes will not be accepted in bulky collections. These items must be disposed in the regular weekly trash collection. If a household places more than two bags/boxes at the curb, a $1 Excess Trash Tag needs to be attached to the excess bags or boxes.
More information
**As long as specific bundle and bag guidelines are followed, building materials and lumber can be placed curbside for weekly trash collection. The bundle and bag guidelines are as follows: Materials bound in 4'x2' bundles that weigh less than 40 pounds will be accepted. Sheetrock, plaster and loose materials will be accepted in regular trash bags if they weigh less than 40 pounds. Bags and bundles are part of the weekly two-bag limit. Therefore, Excess Trash Tags may be required.
