• Items allowed in our trash program per the state landfill's requirements:
  • Couch
  • Chair

• Items must be something our crew can pick up and will fit in the truck. Be mindful of the weather. Bulky items that are soaked or covered with snow will be too heavy for our hauling crew to pick up.

  • Construction debris- ex. pretreated wood, plaster,
  • Hazardous items
  • Mattresses and box springs,
  • E-waste- ex. computers, printers

• Amount Accepted. This collection is limited to one bulky item bi-weekly. Plan if you are moving out or cleaning out.
