Bulky Item Collection

What is a Bulky Item?

Bulky items are anything that is too large to fit in your garbage cart or that isn't allowed in your cart. These include:

• Mattresses
• Furniture
• Appliances (Examples: Ovens, washers, refrigerators, and more.)
• Electronics (Examples: Computes, televisions, light fixtures, and more.)

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.
