***Special Pickup (Bulk order pick up) requests must be made by 3pm at least 3 business days prior to the resident’s normal trash collection day. All bulk pick up need to be put out on non – recycle day’s Only ****
We define a bulk item as a large piece that cannot fit into the cart. When the cart program is rolled out in January, bagged material must be inside the resident’s cart. Bulk items are commonly mattresses and box springs (those can be set out together as the 1 item), chairs & ottomans (can be set out as 1 item), couches, toilets, empty hot water tanks., etc. Common household bulk. There are some items that require actions from the resident prior to us being able to collect or are not acceptable:
- Appliances: if they have freon, the freon must be removed by a technician and tagged that the freon is removed. We also need the doors to be removed for safety reasons.
- Hard Pieces: we cannot accept stone, brick pavers, bricks, or concrete-like pieces at all.
- Large Entertainment Centers: entertainment centers need to be broken down as best as possible and any glass pieces must be either taped to avoid shattering or broken down and put into a sealed cardboard box.
- Mirrors/Glass Pieces: mirrors and glass pieces (like storm doors) must be taped and/or broken down to avoid the pieces shattering in the compaction process.
- Tires: we cannot collect tires at all.
