Before placing your bulk/oversized items out for collection,
please review the following guidelines:

DO DON'T
  • Call or e-mail requests should be directed to Patriot Disposal Services
  • List all items to be picked up - please do not use general terms such as "furniture" - please list items to be collected.
  • Drain oil and gas from lawnmowers
  • Remove doors from appliances to prevent children from becoming trapped inside.
  • Do place items at curb where you normally place trash and recycling for pickup. Crews cannot come onto private property to take items.
  • Do not include propane cylinders with gas grills
  • Please limit the volume of material to a pile not to exceed 4' high x 8' long x 4' wide.  If you have more material than this, you will need to split this between multiple pickup appointments.
  • Do not mix with yard waste, brush, recycling or other debris. Keep these items separate for crews to identify and collect.
  • Do not block sidewalks, hydrants or utilities with bulk/oversized items.
  • Do not leave bulk/oversized items on driveways, carports or other locations on the property - they must be at the curb or public right-of-way.
  • Do not park in front of your bulk/oversized  items or place them in areas that might be difficult for crews to see - please help them by making sure your items are clearly visible from the road.
