What Counts as a Bulk Item?

Not sure what counts as a bulk item? Anything that exceeds our 130-gallon limit for normal weekly pickup constitutes a bulk item, and can include items like:

  • Mattresses and box springs

Bulk Item Pickup FAQs

Q: How many bulk items can I have picked up?

Q: Does bulk item pickup cost extra?

A: All bulk items are charged based on weight and volume.

Q: I forgot to call ahead. Can I just leave my item at the curb for pickup?
