Montgomery County, PA does not run bulk trash pickup. Each borough, township or hauler sets its own rules for large items like furniture and appliances, often requiring a scheduled pickup, tag or extra fee. The county also hosts countywide collection events for hard-to-dispose materials.
Bulk and oversized-item disposal is a municipal program in Montgomery County. Depending on where you live, your borough, township or contracted hauler may offer scheduled bulk pickup, require you to call ahead, sticker or tag items, or pay a per-item fee. Appliances containing refrigerants and certain electronics often need special handling and cannot go in regular pickup. The county supplements this by running countywide collection events for household hazardous waste, electronics and other hard-to-dispose materials through its recycling program. Contact your municipality for the routine bulk schedule and the county for special event dates.
Improperly set-out bulk items can draw a municipal property maintenance citation; illegal dumping of bulk waste is a state crime under 18 Pa.C.S. §6501.
