Bakersfield offers bulk item pickup service for residents through the city's contracted waste hauler. Large items that don't fit in standard carts can be scheduled for curbside collection. The Kern County waste facilities also accept bulky items for disposal.
Residents can schedule bulk item pickups through the city's waste hauler for items such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, and other large household items. There may be limits on the number of items per pickup and frequency of bulk collections. Electronic waste and hazardous materials are not accepted through bulk pickup and must be taken to designated collection events or facilities. Illegal dumping of bulky items is prohibited under city and state law.
Illegal dumping of bulk items on public or private property violates BMC provisions and state law. Penalties include fines and potential criminal charges for repeat offenders. Leaving bulk items at the curb outside of scheduled pickup times may result in code enforcement action for property blight.
