Bulky & Yard
Waste Pick-Up

Convenient Solutions for Larger Items

Not everything fits in your regular garbage cart. That’s why we offer scheduled pickup services for yard debris, bulky items, and large household materials. These services help residents maintain clean properties while ensuring materials are handled safely and responsibly.

Residents may request one free bulky and yard waste pickup each month. If a pickup exceeds the approved amount, any additional material will be billed at $100 per half truckload or $200 per full truckload, with payment required before service is provided.
