Section 13.06.001 defines bulky waste as stoves, refrigerators (only certified CFC removal), water tanks, washing machines, furniture and other large materials, other than construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter, with weights or volumes greater than a roll-out cart allows.

The city's drop-off facility is the self-haul route.

Heavy building debris such as brick, broken concrete, lumber, dirt and gravel must be disposed of immediately at the expense of the owner or contractor under § 13.06.046.
