Summary

Bulky items like appliances, furniture, rugs, and large tree trimmings cannot go in a regular Victorville trash cart. Municipal Code Section 6.36.120 requires a special arranged pickup with the city's waste hauler and bans setting bulky waste at the curb unless it has been prepared under the city's collection guidelines.

Bulky waste, including but not limited to appliances, furniture, rugs, large tree trimmings, and other oversize wastes shall not be placed in standard containers or bins for collection. Special arrangements must be made with the city waste handling contractor for collection of bulky waste. Bulky waste shall be prepared for collection as per guidelines established by the city manager or his/her designee. It is unlawful to place bulky waste or oversized items out for collection, unless they have been prepared in accordance with city collection guidelines and schedules.

Full Breakdown

010(3) defines bulky waste as large items of solid waste such as appliances, furniture, trees, branches greater than four inches in diameter and thirty-six inches in length, and other oversize wastes whose large size precludes or complicates their handling by normal collection, processing, or disposal methods. 120 builds the collection rule around that definition: bulky waste, including but not limited to appliances, furniture, rugs, large tree trimmings, and other oversize wastes shall not be placed in standard containers or bins for collection, and special arrangements must be made with the city waste handling contractor for collection of bulky waste.

Residents cannot simply set an old couch or refrigerator at the curb on a normal pickup day; the item has to be prepared for collection as per guidelines established by the city manager or his or her designee, and the code states plainly that it is unlawful to place bulky waste or oversized items out for collection unless they have been prepared in accordance with city collection guidelines and schedules. on the day of collection.

Violations & Fines

Setting bulky waste, furniture, appliances, or oversize branches at the curb without first arranging a special collection under Section 6.36.120 is expressly declared unlawful, and enforcement follows Section 6.36.170, which applies the infraction penalties of Section 1.04.010. Leaving bulky items out past the eight p.m. window on collection day, or before six p.m. the night before, also violates the placement rules of Section 6.36.130(f).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put an old couch out with my regular Victorville trash?
No. Section 6.36.120 states bulky waste shall not be placed in standard containers or bins for collection and requires special arrangements with the city's waste handling contractor before an oversize item like a couch, appliance, or rug can be picked up from your property.
How large does a tree branch have to be before it counts as bulky waste?
Section 6.36.010(3) draws the line at branches greater than four inches in diameter and thirty-six inches in length. Anything bigger needs a special bulky-waste pickup under Section 6.36.120 instead of going out with routine green waste or regular household trash.
When can I put bulky items at the curb in Victorville?
Not before six p.m. the night before your scheduled special collection, and not left out after eight p.m. on the day of pickup, per Section 6.36.130(f), and only after you have arranged the pickup itself under Section 6.36.120 of the code.
