City collection Furniture and household bulky items go out during the address's every other month brush and bulk week, at no cost beyond the monthly residential rate. No charge. Included in the monthly residential rate for a City of Lancaster address. The city publishes no separate bulky item fee for the every other month collection, and a load over twelve cubic yards has to be removed by the household or taken to the drop-off instead.
City collection A mattress is not named on the city's acceptable bulk list or on the hauler's list, so the item has to be confirmed before it goes out on the service week. Neither the city bulk page nor the hauler brochure names a mattress among the acceptable bulky items, so the item is not guaranteed. Confirm it with the hauler's customer service line or the city at 972-218-1300 before the service week.
City collection A refrigerator or freezer is accepted as bulk only when it carries a tag certifying that the refrigerant was removed, which the household arranges. No charge. Included in the monthly residential rate for a City of Lancaster address, with the condition that a refrigerator or freezer must be tagged certifying removal of refrigerants before collection. The city publishes no separate bulky item fee, and the tagging work is the household's to arrange.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Lancaster collects trash and recycling every week through Community Waste Disposal and runs brush and bulk only every other month, with the month set by which side of Pleasant Run Road the address sits on. Households north of Pleasant Run Road are serviced in odd months and households south of it in even months, and material goes out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the service week. Appliances, furniture, carpet and brush are the accepted bulk items, while construction debris, household chemicals, tires, batteries and propane are refused at the curb. A household that cannot wait for its month can drop twelve cubic yards free at the hauler's transfer station, and the city's quarterly Trash Off events with the X-treme Green events take chemicals, tires and electronics at no cost.
Trash and recycling are collected once a week from every residential address, and the monthly residential rate covers both plus the every other month brush and bulk collection.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for monthly residential rate for once weekly refuse and once weekly recycling collection with every other month brush and bulk collection, including the administrative processing fee. City of Lancaster residential accounts under the rate table the city published after the February 2026 contract approval, with the residential rates effective July 1, 2026. Extra carts and special pickups are charged separately, and a senior discount applies from age 62.
When & how
Set the carts out by 7 a.m. on the collection day; service runs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The city publishes the collection schedule and maps for the address.
Get it ready
Bag all trash and put it inside the grey 95 gallon cart, and put recyclables in the blue 95 gallon cart empty, clean, dry and loose, because bagged recyclables are refused. Keep the two carts at least three feet apart and three feet from mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters and ditches, put them where the driveway meets the street with the wheels toward the residence, and close the lids.
Furniture and household bulky items go out during the address's every other month brush and bulk week, at no cost beyond the monthly residential rate.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the monthly residential rate for a City of Lancaster address. The city publishes no separate bulky item fee for the every other month collection, and a load over twelve cubic yards has to be removed by the household or taken to the drop-off instead.
When & how
Households north of Pleasant Run Road are serviced in odd months and households south of it in even months, and the material has to be set out and ready by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the service week.
Get it ready
Tag toys and yard tools as bulk items, keep furniture in the bulk pile rather than the carts, and box any loose household debris in a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet and no heavier than fifty pounds. Fence panels are accepted up to four by six feet and thorny vines have to be bagged or containerized.
A mattress is not named on the city's acceptable bulk list or on the hauler's list, so the item has to be confirmed before it goes out on the service week.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city bulk page nor the hauler brochure names a mattress among the acceptable bulky items, so the item is not guaranteed. Confirm it with the hauler's customer service line or the city at 972-218-1300 before the service week.
When & how
Ask before the address's brush and bulk month, because the collection runs every other month and a refusal would mean waiting for the next service week.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and in the bulk pile rather than the carts, and keep it clear of the leaves and brush pile. If the hauler will not take it, an alternative is the paid special pickup or a drop-off load at the transfer station inside the twelve cubic yard allowance.
Washers, dryers, water heaters and kitchen appliances are named on the acceptable bulk list, and refrigerators and freezers are accepted once they are tagged.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the monthly residential rate for a City of Lancaster address. The city publishes no separate bulky item fee for the every other month collection.
When & how
Set the appliance out during the address's every other month service week, ready by 7 a.m. on the Monday.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep the doors on for the haul, and keep the appliance out of the grey and blue carts. A refrigerator or freezer needs a tag certifying removal of refrigerants before it can be collected, so arrange that work ahead of the service week.
A refrigerator or freezer is accepted as bulk only when it carries a tag certifying that the refrigerant was removed, which the household arranges.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the monthly residential rate for a City of Lancaster address, with the condition that a refrigerator or freezer must be tagged certifying removal of refrigerants before collection. The city publishes no separate bulky item fee, and the tagging work is the household's to arrange.
When & how
Arrange the refrigerant removal and the tag before the address's service week, then set the unit out by 7 a.m. on the Monday.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, keep the doors on, and keep the tag where the crew can see what it certifies. An untagged unit is not on the acceptable list, so the tagging has to be done first.
Electronic waste is not a curbside item, but the city's free Trash Off events and the X-treme Green events take computers, kitchen appliances, televisions and other used electronics.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Lancaster residents at the quarterly Trash Off events and the two X-treme Green events each year, with proof of residency required. Household hazardous waste, automotive tires, household metal goods, document shredding and used electronics are the X-treme Green streams.
When & how
Trash Off runs four times a year in the odd months at 1501 N. Dallas Avenue next to Regions Bank, and Community Waste Disposal hosts two X-treme Green events a year alongside them. Confirm the next date and the accepted list with the city code compliance division at 972-218-1213.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and drives before handover, and keep electronics out of the grey and blue carts and out of the bulk pile, because electronic waste is not on the acceptable bulk list. Televisions are named as accepted at the events, so those are the route for a screen.
Commercial construction and remodeling debris is prohibited from the free brush and bulk collection, so a project load needs the paid special pickup or a private hauler.
City cost & eligibility
From $120.62 for minimum charge for a special pickup of up to twelve yards, with every yard over twelve charged separately. City of Lancaster residential account arranging a special pickup with Community Waste Disposal. Commercial construction and remodeling debris is refused at the free every other month collection.
When & how
Book the special pickup with the hauler when the load is ready, since the free brush and bulk week will not take project debris. The city publishes the special pickup minimum and the per yard charge above twelve yards.
Get it ready
Keep project debris out of the brush and bulk pile and out of the carts, and keep paint, motor oil, pool chemicals, tires, batteries and propane out of the load entirely because those are prohibited and belong with the Trash Off or X-treme Green events. Box loose debris so it can be handled safely.
Exercise equipment is not named on the acceptable bulk lists, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before the service week.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city bulk page nor the hauler brochure names exercise equipment, so the item is not guaranteed at the curb. Confirm it with the hauler or the city at 972-218-1300, or plan on the paid special pickup or a drop-off load inside the twelve cubic yard allowance.
When & how
Ask before the address's brush and bulk month rather than setting the machine out on the assumption it will be taken.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when asking, remove loose weights and pedals, and keep the machine out of the grey and blue carts. Keep it clear of the leaves and brush pile so the two streams stay separated.
Bulk runs every other month, on your side of Pleasant Run Road
Brush and bulk are collected every other month rather than every week. Households north of Pleasant Run Road are serviced in odd months and households south of it in even months, and the material has to be set out and ready by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the service week. A household that cannot wait can drop up to twelve cubic yards at the hauler's transfer station instead, with proof of residency.
Trash goes out bagged inside the grey 95 gallon cart, and recyclables go out empty, clean, dry and loose inside the blue 95 gallon cart, because bagged recyclables are refused. Carts stay at least three feet apart from each other and from obstacles such as mailboxes, cars, fences, gas meters and ditches, sit where the driveway meets the street with the wheels toward the residence, and have their lids closed.
Chemicals, tires, batteries and propane never go in the pile
Household hazardous waste such as paint, motor oil and pool chemicals, along with tires, batteries and propane tanks, are prohibited in the brush and bulk collection and in the carts. Commercial construction and remodeling debris is prohibited as well, and loose household debris has to be boxed in a container no larger than two feet by two feet by four feet and no heavier than fifty pounds.
Use the free events for everything the curb refuses
Trash Off runs four times a year in the odd months at 1501 N. Dallas Avenue next to Regions Bank and takes bulk trash, recyclables, scrap metal, brush and electronic waste such as computers, kitchen appliances and televisions, free to Lancaster residents with proof of residency. Community Waste Disposal hosts two X-treme Green events a year alongside them for household hazardous waste, automotive tires, household metal goods, document shredding and used electronics, and the city answers questions at 972-218-1213.
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.

Will Lancaster take a mattress during bulk week?+
