Lodi residential customers can schedule bulky-item pickups (large furniture, appliances, mattresses) through Waste Management at no additional charge for a limited number per year, or self-haul to the Lodi Transfer Station operated by WM/Central Valley Recycling.
Bulky items — large furniture, mattresses, appliances, large quantities of cardboard — are not accepted in regular cart service. Lodi residential customers may schedule bulky item pickups directly through Waste Management at the customer-service line; a limited number of pickups per year are typically included in the residential service. Alternatively, residents can self-haul to the Lodi Transfer Station (located on Industrial Way) for tipping fees. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners with refrigerant must be properly evacuated under federal CFC rules before recycling.
Illegal dumping of bulky items in the street, alley, or parks is a misdemeanor under LMC Title 9 and Cal. PRC §42400 et seq. with significant fines.
