Bulk Waste 

Bulky Waste Items Public Works provides collection of bulk waste items, such as upholstered furniture, twice per month.

Please place items curbside by 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday of your collection week for pick up by Friday.  

Note: Based on the volume of materials placed at the curb, the collection route may take longer than one day to complete.  If items are not collected on Wednesday, please leave them curbside for collection.  

Please help our community improve travel safety for all, especially cyclists and pedestrians, by putting out your bulk waste close to your collection day, and not placing items in the street or blocking sidewalks, bike lanes, or storm drains.
