Bulk & Metal Item FAQ’s
A bulk item is considered anything that does not fit in your trash bin. For example, four kitchen-size bags, two contractor-size bags, or a large household item. You can select from one of these 3 options every week. We provide this service free of charge.
Please visit Bulk & Metal Services page for a full list of items that are considered bulk.
Examples of metal items include grills, lawn mowers, washers and dryers, etc. Metal items require pick up by a separate box truck, so they are recycled properly.
Please visit our Bulk & Metal Services page for a full list of metal items that we accept.
If your bulk item is listed under our Bulk Services page and all special instructions (if any) are followed, you do not need to call or text to schedule the item.
All metal items must be scheduled ahead of time. Please call or text (302) 635-7055 to schedule a metal pickup.

Due to our truck’s capacity, we can only allow for one bulk item per customer each week.
