Please note: Some communities schedule bulk trash collection for their entire neighborhood at once. Before trying to schedule your pickup, check here to see if your neighborhood already has a community appointment arranged.​​

Scheduling reminders:​

  • ​Appointments can be made as late as 3 business days in advance

  • Beginning in 2025, customers will have four (4) collection opportunities each year.

  • Make sure you have your appointment scheduled before you begin placing your bulk items at the curb (no more than 7 days ahead of your scheduled date). It is a violation of city ordinance to place trash out more than 7 days before your scheduled appointment. 

  • The scheduler blocks out the following holidays, including the 7 days after each holiday: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. This helps ensure no bulk trash is placed out during these peak holidays.
