DeKalb's bulk pickup has limits — we don't
DeKalb residents get city-coordinated LRS service, but the city FAQ notes bulk pickup is capped at up to two items per week, and e-waste runs on a request-based monthly schedule. When move-outs, lease turnovers, or cleanup deadlines stack up in Annie Glidden North and West Lincoln Highway, municipal timing can be too slow. That gap is exactly where same-day curbside removal is useful.

E-waste pickup is monthly by request during the first full week, and household hazardous waste uses a separate request-based collection process.
