Our free bulk garbage collection takes place in May and June. Paid bulk garbage collection will now take place in September and October.

Collection starts on Mondays and may take up to one week to complete. To determine your bulk collection day, please use the street selector tool below.

Bulk items must not be placed on the curb until the evening before the scheduled pick-up day.

To ensure maximum efficiency, the city is divided into five zones for bulk garbage collection. Each zone receives collection on a specific day, as indicated below.
