Bulky items are anything that is too large to fit in your garbage cart or that isn't allowed in your cart. These include:
Construction debris is not included in bulky item collection and can't be placed in your garbage cart. To find disposal options for these materials, visit Ramsey County Building Materials Reuse.
Contact the City at least two business day's in advance of your garbage collection day to request a pickup. Fill out our online request form below or call 651-266-6101.
Don't put a large item out next to your carts without first contacting us; it will not be collected.
Starting April 2025: All households with one to four units will have one bulky item pick-up per unit, per calendar month with regular garbage service. These pickups are included in the cost of your regular collection.
You may only have three total appliances and/or electronics picked up per unit annually.
Note, the City does not coordinate garbage collection for apartments (five or more units), so curbside pickup is not necessarily available through your hauler. Contact your landlord for assistance disposing of your item(s).
If you need to dispose of additional items during the same month, you can pay $30 per bulky item (plus tax) to have them collected.
You can get an unlimited number of mattresses collected each year by Second Chance Recycling. Click the button below for details.
