The City of Dayton provides four bulk-waste pick-ups a year at no cost.  Bulk waste pick-ups must be scheduled in advance by calling 333-4800. 

Residents can call between new expanded hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. 

Bulk waste items are to be set out after 3:00 p.m. of the day before the scheduled pick-up.  City crews begin pick-ups at 7:00 a.m. 

Bulk Waste Guidelines

n You must separate your metal items (stoves, refrigerators, etc.) from other bulk items.  Remember to remove refrigerator doors.

n      All loose and small items must be securely contained, bundled or bagged for easy pickup.

n      Sorry, the City cannot pick up concrete, rocks, brick blocks, sand, gravel, or hazardous waste.

n     Yard waste (brush, hedges, tree limbs, etc.) must be tied into bundles not larger than 4 feet long and 18 inches in diameter.

n    Bundles are limited to 25 pounds each.

n     Remember, the City cannot pickup grass clippings.
