Bulk Waste

Bulk Waste collection is intended for those items that are too large to fit inside the garbage roll cart. Bulk waste items must be set out by the curb two items at a time. Drivers will only collect two items per service.

Guidelines for Bulk Waste collection:

• Curbside Collection Guidelines
• Bulk Waste Collection Guidelines
• Place only two bulk waste items curbside at a time
• Bulk waste items must be:
  • within three feet of the curb or edge of the street
  • at least three feet from other fixed objects

Acceptable Bulk Waste examples:

• Couches
• Mattresses
• Chairs
• Tables
• Appliances (“White goods”)

Once two items have been collected, residents may place two more items curbside. Bulk items do not require scheduling from the resident. Drivers will make note of bulk items curbside as they move along their routes. Bulk items will be collected within three business days of being reported or observed; however, if bulk items are placed at the curb in between services, you will need to schedule a pick up by calling the Waste and Recycling Customer Care team (863) 284-4319 or submitting an online request.
