Richmond offers weekly heavy item pickup for appliances and bi-weekly bulk and brush collection through GFL, with limits on item size, weight, and types of accepted materials.
GFL collects up to five cubic yards of heavy items per account per collection day, including washing machines, dryers, and water heaters, on Wednesdays each week. Bulk and brush collection in Richmond is bi-weekly, occurring on the resident's regular trash collection day during recycling weeks. Items should be placed at the curb the night before. Excluded items include automobile parts, tree stumps and logs heavier than 50 pounds or longer than four feet, dirt, construction debris, concrete, bricks, rocks, roofing materials, metal poles, trampoline frames, and hazardous chemicals. Excluded materials require disposal through other services.
Setting out excluded items such as construction debris, oversized logs, or hazardous materials may result in items being left at the curb and code compliance notices for uncollected debris.
