Large Item Pickup by appointment is coming to the Urban Services District. Now you will be able to quickly get rid of up to four large items, once per week, by simply making an appointment. This means more opportunities to dispose of large items, less "junk" sitting out for weeks, and improved neighborhood cleanliness!
The program will be phased in after your last "junk" set out weekend, which is February 24-26th for District 9. Watch this tutorial if you need help. After the crews collect items in your area the following week, your address will be able to use the appointment system. Make an appointment up to once per week for up to 4 large items to be picked up. Households and property owners will receive a letter and info card in the mail.
