Bulk Waste

Large or bulky items which cannot be containerized, bagged or bundled for normal solid waste collection service are considered bulk trash. Garbage is not considered bulk waste and will not be accepted for pick-up.

Residential Properties

Residential properties currently have bulk trash collection once a week. A maximum amount of four cubic yards per week is allowed.

The location must be within ﬁve feet of the curb line; not within ﬁve feet of an abutting property; and not more than ten feet from the edge of the pavement/street.
