Scheduling reminders:

The scheduler works on an 8-week rolling calendar. Appointments can be booked out as far as 8 weeks.
Appointments can be made as late as 3 business days in advance.
For the remainder of 2024, customers can schedule one (1) collection.
In 2025, customers will have four (4) collection opportunities. Each appointment can only be made up to 8 weeks in advance.
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.

About Bulk Trash Services

Bulk trash consists of materials that are too large and must not be placed in the garbage or recycling container. Materials such as furniture, small appliances, toilets and large amounts of vegetation are often considered bulk trash. Bulk trash is now collected by appointment only. There are specific guidelines that must be followed or we cannot collect bulk trash from your property. Please read the Dos and Don'ts on this page.
