The Bulky Item Collection program accepts:

• Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units (NOTE: refrigerators and freezers must be completely empty of all food/debris, cleaned of all mold and any other health risks, or they will not be picked up.  Please also note, a separate truck is used for any items containing any fluorocarbon refrigerants/Freon.  These items must be indicated for collection when making an appointment or they will not be collected. You will need to make a new appointment to have the items collected if they are not indicated on the original appointment.)
• 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.
• Carpet if it is rolled up and either over four feet long or over 40 lbs. (if it is cut into small squares it can be put out as trash).

The Bulky Item Collection program does not accept:

• Trash in bags or boxes will not be accepted in bulky collections. These items must be disposed in the regular weekly trash collection.
• 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, including anything in dumpster bags.  Bulky Services does not collect dumpster bags.
• 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. 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.
• Damaged recycle bins, trash cans/carts please check to see if they can be recycled.  If not, depending on material, then these items just need to be placed out with regular trash in a bag for trash collection to occur.  Bulky Services will not take these items.
