Venice Public Works collects bulk items (furniture, appliances, large yard waste) on regular pickup days, with separation requirements for storm/hurricane debris under Ch. 54.
Residents place bulk items adjacent to but not in the curbside cart. Appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, AC units) require freon certification by a licensed technician before placement. After a declared storm event, the City directs residents to separate vegetative debris (tree limbs, leaves) from construction/demolition debris (drywall, lumber) and household hazardous waste to qualify for FEMA reimbursement and accelerated pickup.
Improper mixing of storm debris can result in pickup delays and a $500 administrative fine per Sec. 1-14. Putting hazardous waste in regular carts is a Code violation.
