Important: Read Before Disposing

For curbside bulky item pickup: Mattresses and box springs *must be wrapped in plastic* for collection. Unwrapped mattresses or box springs will not be collected. Items must be placed directly in front of your home, away from other objects such as parked cars or trees, by 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. A limit of 10 items will be picked up per appointment. Residents with city-provided trash collection services are eligible for two free bulky item pickups per calendar year.

Illegal dumping fine: $1,000 - $10,000 (fines vary based on the offense and severity; first offense minimum is $1,000).
