Reedley residents can request bulky item collection through Mid Valley Disposal for large items such as appliances, mattresses, couches, electronics, and tires. Residents may also drop off garbage at a designated facility up to two times per calendar year. Bulk items should not be placed at the curb without scheduling a pickup, as unscheduled items may trigger nuisance violations.
Mid Valley Disposal provides bulky item collection service for Reedley residents as part of the city's franchise waste management agreement. Eligible items include appliances, couches, mattresses, electronic waste, and tires. Residents must request a bulky item pickup through Mid Valley Disposal's intake process rather than simply placing large items at the curb on regular collection days. Unscheduled bulk items left at the curb or in the front yard may be classified as a property nuisance under Reedley City Code Section 4-2-3, which prohibits accumulations of discarded objects, equipment, appliances, and furniture not designed for outdoor use on any property. Additionally, residential customers may drop off garbage at Mid Valley Disposal's designated facility up to two times per calendar year at no additional charge. For items not accepted through the bulky pickup service, the Fresno County hazardous waste facility serves Reedley residents for disposal of paint, chemicals, batteries, and other hazardous materials. The city provides information about hazardous waste disposal events and permanent drop-off locations through its public works department. Large quantities of green waste, construction debris, or demolition materials may require a separate hauling arrangement and are not covered by the standard bulky item service.
Placing bulk items at the curb without scheduling a pickup may result in nuisance citations under Section 4-2-3. Abandoned appliances, especially those with doors (refrigerators, freezers), pose child safety hazards and may trigger immediate enforcement action. Dumping waste on public property or vacant lots is prohibited under both city ordinance and California Penal Code Section 374.3 (illegal dumping), which carries fines up to $10,000 for commercial quantities.
