How Heavy Trash Pickup Works

Cirt residential customers can request one heavy trash pickup every two weeks, except during the city's annual fall leaf collection program.

Each scheduled pickup includes:

• One large item, such as a couch or mattress
• Or a matching pair of items like a couch and loveseat or a washer and dryer

Appointments are required before placing items at the curb.

Why Scheduling Matters

According to EWSU, scheduling a pickup helps prevent problems that often occur when large items are left sitting along the street.

Unscheduled items can attract scavengers who may search through or dismantle them, leaving debris scattered throughout the neighborhood.

Scheduling your pickup also helps ensure items are collected promptly and disposed of responsibly.

How to Schedule a Pickup

Residents can schedule a heavy trash pickup through EWSU online.

Before placing any large item at the curb, be sure you've received a scheduled pickup date to help keep your neighborhood clean and avoid unnecessary clutter.
