Bulky Item Pickup
Bulky Item Pickup
Each year the city provides a bulky item pickup for items not picked up by curbside trash removal service.
Bulky Item Pickup serves half of the City each year, with Antioch as the dividing line.
This program serves single through four-plex households with individual trash service. Communities with dumpster-style trash service are not included in the program.
Please have your bulky trash items at the curb no later than 7 a.m. the day of, but no sooner than 5 p.m. the day before your scheduled pickup date.
