Columbia County offers no county-wide bulk curbside pickup. Large items like appliances and furniture go through your private hauler or are self-hauled. County code bars stuffing appliances, mattresses, and tires into regular trash receptacles.
There is no county bulk-collection program in unincorporated Columbia County. Bulky waste, appliances, and furniture are handled through your private hauler, which may charge extra, or self-hauled to a permitted disposal site. County code specifically prohibits dropping large noncompatible articles like stoves, refrigerators, mattresses, and scrap tires into ordinary waste containers; refrigerant must be professionally removed from appliances first. Electronics, paint, and household hazardous waste are excluded from general disposal. Dumping bulky items along a roadside or on vacant land near the lakes or in rural Columbia is illegal dumping, a misdemeanor prosecuted under the solid-waste code.
Illegal dumping of waste is a misdemeanor, each day a separate offense, plus community-service cleanup and court costs. Offenders can be ordered to remove all litter they deposited.
