City collection Furniture is the city's own example of a bulky item, which it defines as anything too big to fit in the regular trash bin. A homeowner inside the city limits gets one free bulky item or appliance pickup each month, scheduled for the next available trash day, and a second pickup in the same month is charged by the cubic yard. No charge. Homeowners inside the city limits get one free bulky item or appliance pickup per month, scheduled for the next available trash day; each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total above $100 has to be approved by the resident before removal.
City collection The city defines a bulky item by size rather than naming items, so a mattress clearly meets the too big for the bin test but is not named in the published definition. Treat it as a question for 311 and book it as the monthly bulky item pickup. No mattress rate is published. The city gives one free bulky item or appliance pickup a month to homeowners inside the city limits and charges additional items by the cubic yard, so book the mattress as the monthly bulky item on 311 and confirm it is accepted before putting it out.
City collection South Bend is unusual in taking appliances on the same monthly allowance as furniture. The city states that an appliance includes a refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer, and that the homeowner can request one free appliance or bulky item pickup a month, scheduled on the next available trash day. The preparation rule is specific: every appliance lid and door has to be removed or taped shut. No charge. Homeowners inside the city limits get one free appliance or bulky item pickup per month, scheduled on the next available trash day, with additional items or cubic yards in the same month charged at $20 per cubic yard and any total above $100 needing resident approval.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
South Bend collects household waste itself rather than through a hauler, and the shape of the programme is easy to state. The Solid Waste division runs weekly trash collection for every city address from Monday through Thursday, with trash, yard waste and extra pickups all landing on the same day for a household. Trash goes only in a city issued 48 or 96 gallon bin, and bags left on top of the bin, on the ground or in a private container are not collected. The interesting part is the large item route: homeowners inside the city limits can ask for one appliance or bulky item pickup a month at no charge, and the city defines a bulky item by size, as anything too big to fit the regular bin such as furniture. The same monthly allowance covers one yard waste extra pickup of up to 10 biodegradable bags or a cubic yard of bundled limbs. Electronics and hazardous material never go on the truck at all, and both are dropped off free at the county Household Hazardous Waste Center on Kerr Street.

Homeowners inside the city limits get one free bulky item or appliance pickup per month, scheduled for the next available trash day; each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total above $100 has to be approved by the resident before removal.
When & how
Submit the request through the city online form or call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and a pickup date comes back with the confirmation. Do not put the piece out until that date arrives, because the pickup is booked for the next available trash day and summer dates can run two or three weeks out.
Get it ready
Place the piece within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, keep it unblocked by vehicles and bins, and keep at least three feet of clearance from trees, fences, utility poles and overhanging limbs. Put it out no earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled date, keep it out of the trash and yard waste bins, and keep electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with bodily fluids out of the load entirely.

No mattress rate is published. The city gives one free bulky item or appliance pickup a month to homeowners inside the city limits and charges additional items by the cubic yard, so book the mattress as the monthly bulky item on 311 and confirm it is accepted before putting it out.
When & how
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the online request, and the pickup is scheduled on the next available trash day. The mattress goes out only once the date is assigned.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, out of the trash and yard waste bins, and clear of the collection path. Place it within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before it, keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles, and confirm there is no writing or bedding left attached that could read as household trash.

Get it ready
Remove or tape shut every lid and door so nobody and nothing can get inside the appliance, which is the city's own safety rule. Keep the unit out of the trash and yard waste bins, place it within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before, and keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles.
Electronics are refused on both city routes and pushed to the county drop-off. The city bars electronic waste from the trash bins, and the extra pickup article lists televisions, computers and their accessories among the items that are not accepted, then sends them to the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center, where the drop-off is free for South Bend residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics are not allowed in the trash bin or on an extra pickup. The city states that electronics are dropped off free at the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street for South Bend residents, reachable on 574.235.9971.
When & how
Take the devices to the Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street. The city publishes the address, the free terms and the phone number but not the opening hours on the pages read, so call 574.235.9971 before the trip rather than assuming a window.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, drive, phone or camera before handover. Keep electronics out of the trash bin, because only regular household trash may go in it, and keep them out of the yard waste bin, because recycling and household trash are both barred there. The refused list names televisions, DVD players, fax machines, cable boxes, portable players and navigation devices, e-readers, cameras, camcorders, digital photo frames, computers, monitors, printers, external hard drives, scanners, mice and keyboards.
The city publishes no route for construction material. Only regular household trash may go in the bins, loose debris is barred from the bin and from the extra pickup, and the county drop-off at Kerr Street covers hazardous material and electronics rather than demolition debris. A remodel load is therefore a private arrangement rather than a city service.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction debris rate because it is not part of the solid waste routes. Removal is arranged privately, so confirm the load and the price with a hauler or container company before the work produces the material.
When & how
There is no city pickup day for renovation material and no drop-off for it at the Kerr Street center, so arrange removal before the work starts rather than letting the material accumulate at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep the material out of the trash bin and out of the yard waste bin, because the bin is limited to regular household trash and the yard bin is barred to lumber, dirt, rocks and large limbs. Keep it clear of the collection path, and do not set anything out for an extra pickup without an assigned date, because the city warns that early placement can bring a citation from Code Enforcement.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky item definition, which the city writes as anything too big for the regular bin such as furniture. A treadmill or weight machine meets the size test, so book it as the monthly bulky item pickup and confirm the piece with 311 first.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published. The city gives one free bulky item or appliance pickup a month to homeowners inside the city limits and charges additional items by the cubic yard, so confirm the machine on 311 and book it as the monthly bulky item before setting it out.
When & how
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the online request, and the machine goes out on the assigned date, which is the next available trash day.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it will come apart and take the console off the frame so one crew can handle it. Keep it out of both bins, place it within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before, and keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles.

Get it ready
Place items within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, keep them unblocked by vehicles and bins, and keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences, utility poles and overhanging limbs.

Yard waste is a paid seasonal service rather than a free one. The 2026 season runs from March 30 through December 3, weekly collection costs a monthly fee on the utility bill, and the material goes in a city issued 48 or 96 gallon yard waste bin on the same day as trash. A separate free monthly extra pickup handles biodegradable bags and bundled limbs that do not belong in the bin.
City cost & eligibility
$6 for monthly yard waste service rate during the 2026 season, which runs from March 30 through December 3 and is applied to the utility bill. City residents inside the city limits, which the city describes as a three or four digit address, with the bin supplied for the season and extra bins available at the same monthly rate.
When & how
The yard waste bin goes out by 6 a.m. on the trash day, separated from the trash bin by at least three feet, and it sits away from cars, mailboxes, trees and other obstructions and clear of power lines and overhanging branches. The free monthly extra pickup for bags and bundled limbs is scheduled on a weekday through 311 and lands on the next available trash day.
Get it ready
Put only grass clippings, leaves, twigs and weeds in the bin, and keep it completely clear of animal waste, dirt and rocks, food waste, household trash, lumber, large tree limbs, oils, liquids, hazardous waste, plastic bags and recycling, because the city will not collect a contaminated bin. Biodegradable paper bags and branches shorter than four feet go through the extra pickup instead, with branches cut to four feet or shorter, no more than four inches in diameter and tied with twine. Large tree limbs are defined as branches more than four feet long or more than four inches in diameter.
Chemical waste has one published route, and it is free. The city bars paints, chemicals and other hazardous materials from the trash bins and from the extra pickup, and sends them to the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street, which takes a long list of household material including tires, batteries, bulbs, paint, solvents and mercury items. The city states that the drop-off is free for South Bend residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city states that the Household Hazardous Waste Center drop-off at 828 Kerr Street is free for South Bend residents, covering aerosols, Ni-Cad, lithium, button cell and rechargeable batteries, corrosives, fluorescent bulbs, elemental mercury along with thermostats, switches, relays and vapor lamps, paints and solvents, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, smoke detectors, styrofoam, tires limited to six per year per household, waste fuels, and waste oils and lubricants.
When & how
Take the material to 828 Kerr Street. The city publishes the address, the accepted list, the free terms and the phone number at 574.235.9971 but not the opening hours on the pages read, so call ahead before loading.
Get it ready
Keep these materials out of the trash bin and the yard waste bin entirely, because both routes bar them. Do not bring waste fuels or waste oils in 55-gallon drums, and note the limit of six tires per year per household. Handle mercury items and fluorescent bulbs as the fragile material they are, and do not put anything with human or animal bodily fluids out for collection, because the city refuses those as well and expects them to be handled by an outside service.
Bagged household trash only, inside a city issued bin
Everything must be bagged and placed in a city issued 48 or 96 gallon bin with the lid closed and the opening facing the street. Bags on top of the bin, on the ground or in a private container are not collected, and only regular household trash belongs in the bin. Electronic waste, yard waste, loose debris, paints, chemicals and other hazardous material are all barred from it, and the bin goes within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. and at least three feet from other bins and objects.
One free bulky or appliance pickup and one free yard waste extra pickup a month
Homeowners inside the city limits get one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste extra pickup every month at no charge, and both are booked for the next available trash day. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number. Further pickups in the same month are charged by the cubic yard, and any total over a stated threshold needs the resident's approval before removal.
Wait for the assigned date before putting anything at the curb
An extra pickup is scheduled rather than automatic, and the city warns that placing an item at the curb before the assigned date can bring a citation from Code Enforcement. Items should not sit out more than 24 hours before the pickup, they go within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the day, and they need three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles. Summer demand can push a date out two or three weeks, so request before a deadline.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Book the free monthly bulky item or appliance pickup
A homeowner inside the city limits with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, an exercise machine or another item too big for the regular bin.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One appliance or bulky item pickup a month is free for homeowners inside the city limits and lands on the next available trash day. Each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total over $100 needs the resident's approval before removal.
Arrange it
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the city online request, and the pickup date comes back in the confirmation. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number.
Electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with human or animal bodily fluids are not accepted on the pickup, and appliance doors and lids have to be removed or taped shut. Items go out only after the assigned date, no more than 24 hours before the pickup and no earlier, because early placement can bring a citation.
Sign up for the seasonal yard waste service and use the monthly extra pickup
A city resident inside the city limits with grass clippings, leaves, twigs, weeds or branches to clear during the season.
Cost & conditions
$6 for monthly yard waste service rate during the 2026 season, applied to the utility bill, with extra bins available at the same monthly rate. City residents inside the city limits, which the city describes as a three or four digit address, from March 30 through December 3, 2026.
Arrange it
Sign up online or by calling 311, and the city supplies a 48 or 96 gallon yard waste bin collected on the same day as trash. One free yard waste extra pickup a month covers up to 10 30-gallon biodegradable bags or a cubic yard of bundled and tied limbs, and further amounts in the same month are charged per cubic yard.
Only grass clippings, leaves, twigs and weeds go in the bin, and any animal waste, dirt, rocks, food waste, household trash, lumber, large tree limbs, oil, liquid, hazardous material, plastic bag or recycling in the load will stop the collection. The programme is limited to addresses inside the city limits, and the season ends on December 3.
Drop electronics, chemicals and tires at the county household hazardous waste center
A South Bend household with a television or computer, paint, solvents, batteries, bulbs, mercury items or up to six tires.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city states that the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street is free for South Bend residents and that electronics are dropped off there free as well.
Arrange it
Drive the material to 828 Kerr Street. The center takes aerosols, batteries, corrosives, fluorescent bulbs, mercury items, paints and solvents, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, smoke detectors, styrofoam, tires, waste fuels, and waste oils and lubricants, alongside the electronics the city refuses on its own routes.
The city publishes the address, the accepted list and the phone number at 574.235.9971 but not the opening hours on the pages read, so call first. Waste fuels and waste oils cannot arrive in 55-gallon drums, tires are limited to six per year per household, and the city's own collection routes refuse electronics and hazardous material outright.
Arrange a private removal for construction or remodeling debris
A household or contractor with renovation or demolition material that the city routes do not take.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no construction debris service or rate, so the load and the price come from a private hauler or container company and have to be confirmed before the work produces the material.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed hauler or container company, place the container where the truck can reach it, and have the same company collect it when the work finishes. The city's own routes stay limited to household trash in the bin and the scheduled extra pickups.
Nothing from a renovation goes in the trash bin or the yard waste bin, because the bin is limited to regular household trash and the yard bin refuses lumber, dirt and rocks. The county drop-off at Kerr Street covers hazardous material and electronics rather than building debris.
