RESIDENTIAL
Customers may schedule two curbside pickups annually at no cost. If you exceed your number of free pickups, you may request additional collections for a fee.

Bulky item collections are scheduled on your service day. Once you’ve scheduled your pickup, please ensure that your items are at the curb the evening before your scheduled collection.

Your bulky items may not exceed 2 cubic yards, or 500 lbs in total. No single item can exceed 200 lbs.

We do not accept the following items for bulky item pickup: concrete, soil or hazardous waste such as batteries, paint, insecticides, fluorescent tubes, or oil filters. To dispose of hazardous materials, please contact the Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA).
