Norfolk collects bulk items by appointment, up to twelve pickups a year and three cubic yards each. Schedule through the MyNorfolk app or Norfolk Cares by 3 p.m. the day before. Tires are capped at four per collection and twelve per year.
Norfolk Public Works handles bulk waste like furniture, mattresses, and appliances by request rather than on a fixed route. Residents schedule through the MyNorfolk app, the mynorfolk.org portal, or Norfolk Cares at 757-664-6510, with requests due by 3 p.m. the day before collection. Standard service is limited to twelve bulk collections per year, each no more than three cubic yards; larger loads need a paid special collection. Non-commercial tires are limited to four per collection day and twelve per year. Construction debris and household hazardous waste are excluded and must go to SPSA facilities.
Placing bulk items at the curb without a scheduled pickup, or dumping them on a lot or roadside, is illegal dumping enforced under state law and the Norfolk City Code, carrying steep fines.
