Full Breakdown
St. Charles County requires every permitted residential waste hauler to schedule at least one bulky-item collection every six months for each customer, and to give reasonable notice before the pickup. "Bulky waste" covers items too large or heavy for normal truck loading, including white goods like refrigerators and washers, but not vehicles or construction/demolition debris. The rule is a permit condition enforced by the county's Division Director, not a request-only service.
Violations & Fines
A hauler that fails to provide the required semiannual bulky waste collection is out of compliance with its Chapter 240 permit and subject to permit review by the Division Director; residents who never receive notice should contact their hauler or Waste Management/Recycling to confirm scheduling.
