Waukesha County provides no bulk pickup: it "does not provide any type of pickup service." Dispose of furniture, mattresses, and appliances via your hauler, donation (Habitat ReStore, Goodwill), private junk haulers, or a landfill directly.
For large items, the county directs residents to arrange disposal themselves. Options include contacting your waste/recycling service for special pickup, donating usable furniture and mattresses to Purple Heart, Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul, or Waukesha Habitat for Humanity ReStore, hiring private haulers (1-800-Got-Junk, College HUNKS, Camo Crew), or hauling to GFL Emerald Park (Muskego) or WM landfills directly. Appliances containing refrigerant must go to a certified recycler such as Refrigerant Depot, Best Buy, or Waukesha Iron & Metal. Household hazardous waste goes to the county's HHW drop-off sites.
Illegally dumping bulk items instead of disposing properly is a state littering violation carrying up to a $1,000 forfeiture for large items.
