Schedule free curbside pick up for your large, bulky items.
Need to know

Before you start
If you have items that don’t fit in your waste collection carts, you can schedule a special large item pick-up.
You can use these pick-ups for:
- Furniture
- Appliances
- Trash
- Electronic waste
- Recyclables
Republic Services will not sort your items. You need to sort them based on the material (recycling, yard waste, landfill). If they are mixed, they will go to the landfill.
Single family homes
Each year you are allowed:
- 2 large item pick-ups
- 6 cubic yards per pick-up
- 12 cubic yards total
Apartment complexes
Each year, apartment buildings are allowed 2 large item pick-ups. For an apartment pick-up, you are allowed a maximum of 1.5 cubic yards of waste per unit.
You need to be the property owner or manager to request a large item pick-up. You need to make your request at least 5 business days in advance.
Yard waste
You can get rid of bulky yard waste with your regular curbside recycling.
Make sure to:
- Use compostable or paper bags
- Bundle and tie the bags
- Put the bags at the curb next to your carts
You can get brown paper leaf bags at City Hall or by mail.

- Collect your items:
- Sort your items into bags based on their material.
