Bulk Trash is THIS Week!
YES, Residential Quarterly Bulk Pickup for JAN is really THIS week!
Did we confuse you?
Previously published dates for bulk pickup in January 2020 were INCORRECT. We apologize for the error. The correct dates are Wednesday, January 22-24 on your regular collection day for curbside collection; and Saturday, January 25 for multi-family with dumpsters. Place items curbside by 7 a.m.
You can also place out any remaining Christmas trees curbside for pick up with the bulk trash items.
