Bulk / Special Trash

Overview

All Bulk/Special Trash items (no more than 3) need to be placed at the curb by 7 am on your scheduled collection day, or you can put them out after 7 pm the night before. Public Works does not do a specific route, so they will not be picking up your trash at a specific time each day. We are no longer doing late bulk trash pickup, so if you miss it, you miss it. You will have to wait until the next scheduled pick-up for your location. All loose materials must be in containers and cannot exceed 50 pounds. Up to three items are accepted.

Electronics Pick-up

Electronic equipment will be picked up with bulk trash on a designated east or west-side pick-up schedule. This includes flat-screen TVs' (older model televisions that are not flat screens should be set out for bulk trash), computers, printers, etc.

Appliance Pick-ups

Consists of washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners (any size), water heaters, and microwaves (any size). *Note there is a fee, $20 for the first and $10 for each additional. We will send you them once they are picked up.

Safe Disposal of Sharp Items

Any items that could be a hazard to the crew member collecting them (like broken glass) needs to be wrapped in paper or an impervious disposable container and labeled with the hazard prior to placing inside the cart. Sharps, needles, syringes must be capped, and the syringe placed inside a rigid plastic container (such as laundry detergent bottle or coffee can). Replace the cap on the bottle, tape it closed and write on it Sharps, and place it inside your green refuse cart.

Materials Not Accepted

Construction materials, auto parts (including tires), hazardous wastes (such as oils and paints), recyclable materials and yard waste.

This is an example of a clean out that is not acceptable. Prior arrangements should be made for pickup. A fee will be assessed. If no arrangements are made, the fee and fine will be assessed and if not paid, the property will be lined.

This does not include the total house clean-out. When a move-out occurs, arrangements should be made for pickup. We will assess a fee for this type of pickup.
