Heavy Trash

Heavy trash or bulky trash, includes but is not limited to, the following items: furniture, such as sofas, tables, chairs, mattresses and box springs; appliances, including stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, clothes dryers and water heaters; electronics, such as televisions and stereos; and building materials and construction debris.

No more than two of each type of appliance will be collected per address. Carpet must be rolled in sections no longer than 4 feet and no bigger than 2 feet in diameter. Loose building materials and construction debris must be placed in a container. These containers should be no heavier than can reasonably be lifted by two average adults. Containers should be strong enough to not break apart while being lifted even if they are wet. No concrete blocks, bricks or steel poles are permitted. Automobile parts, automotive or household batteries, tires, computer equipment or hazardous materials will not be picked up. Privacy fence sections must be cut in half or to a smaller manageable size.

Heavy trash should be placed wherever garbage is normally collected from the home, whether at the curb or in the alley. All heavy trash items must be set out before 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.

The heavy trash collection program is available to residents of the City of Evansville in fall and spring. The heavy trash contractor will not pick up trash that would normally be picked up as part of the regular weekly collection,

Please refer to the service schedule/map for your day of collection. For more information, call Allied Waste Services: 812.424.3345.
