To ensure a smooth and efficient bulk trash pickup, follow these tips:

Bulk trash pickup is a shared community resource. When you follow the rules—scheduling properly, preparing items safely, and keeping the pile tidy—you help the crew work quickly and keep your neighborhood looking clean. Avoid putting items out weeks in advance. If you see illegal dumping on your street, report it to your city’s code enforcement. And if your old sofa still has life in it, consider donating it before you consign it to the curb.
