Bulk trash and special collections are made on the same day as regular garbage collections or when schedules permit.

Bulk trash includes discarded furniture, hot-water heaters, refrigerators and other household appliances, and other large items. GLASS (windows, doors, tables, etc.) placed out for pickup must be extensively TAPED to prevent shattering. Special collections are offered to citizens that have moved in or moved out of a home and have a large amount of boxes and debris. Bulk trash also includes up to two passenger car tires with no rims, per residence, per collection, per week. Set up tire pick-up by calling (757) 382-CITY(2489).

Larger tree limbs and yard trimmings will also be collected when placed at curbside in a stack not exceeding 4'x4'x4'. Limbs and yard trimmings must be cut to lengths of four-feet or less with a diameter of no more than six-inches. The City is unable to haul contractor's limb debris.
