 How it Works: 

• By-Request Service: Bulky waste will be collected by request only.
• Set-Out Guidelines:
  • Bulky waste items should be placed between the curb and sidewalk and should not hinder pedestrian traffic. Where there is no sidewalk, bulky waste may be placed on the owner's property near the street or within five (5) feet of the curb.
  • Items must be placed neatly on the curb no earlier than 24 hours before collection date and by 7:00 AM of the pick-up day. 
  • Bulky waste must not block an intersection, fire hydrant, mailboxes, driveways, sidewalks, drainage systems, roadways and utilities. 
  • Bulky waste items must not be stacked closer than fifty (50) feet from an intersection or within ten (10) feet of any fire hydrant. 
  • Bulky waste must not obstruct traffic views or drainage systems. 
  • Bulky waste must NOT be placed directly under overhead wires. 
  • Separate metal items from other bulky waste. Scrap metal will be recycled if stacked separately from other bulky waste.
• ACCGov-owned vehicles are prohibited from entering private property to collect bulky waste items. 
• Collection Limit: Up to 5 items per scheduled pick-up. With 4 pickups each year. For a total of 20 items per year. 
• Fees:  No fee for four pick-ups per year. After four pick-ups it is a cost-of-service basis.
  • Fees for a special pick-up start at $50/trip.
