Question 1

What is considered a bulky item?

Accepted Answer

Bulky items are large or oversized junk that are difficult to be picked up and removed by your local trash services. Bulky items often require disassembly before they can be loaded into a junk removal or garbage truck. Some examples of bulky trash include furniture, appliances, mattresses, exercise equipment, televisions and other large household items that are too large to go out with the trash.

Although you may be able to haul items like mattresses and furniture to the curb, your local bulk trash collection service will usually pass over them until your neighborhood’s set bulky item pickup day or require you to schedule a special pickup. When this happens, you will have to haul the items back into your home or garage. FYI: If you don’t haul your large items back from the curb, you could receive a fine! Plus, mattresses, appliances and furniture that sit at the curb for days are an eyesore that your neighbors probably won’t appreciate.

Question 2

Does my local trash service pick up bulky items?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your local trash service has set days for bulky items to be picked up with the trash. Depending on the company, this service may be included with your paid annual trash pickup service. In some cases, you may need to remove doors or certain parts of your bulky items before you take them to the curb in order for the services to be able pick up large items.

Some waste management companies even provide a set number of special pickups per home, per year. Keep in mind that bulky items picked up by your local trash service will be taken to a landfill, which is not the best option for many large or oversized items. Bulky trash like appliances contain a good deal of metal that can be recycled, instead. A junk removal company like LoadUp can help you get bulk trash removal near you with recycling of bulky items to help reduce landfill waste.

Question 4

Do I need to disassemble my large items before my scheduled pickup?
