Westerville residents receive weekly bulk item pickup alongside regular trash at no extra charge, with limits on quantity and type. Large appliances, furniture, and mattresses may be set out; tires, construction debris, and hazardous waste are excluded.
Westerville is one of the more generous Ohio suburbs for bulk disposal: up to 6 bulk items per week may be placed at the curb with regular trash, no appointment required. Mattresses must be in a sealed plastic bag (bed bug prevention). Refrigerators and freezers require doors removed or secured and Freon tagged as removed by a licensed technician. Excluded items: tires (take to SWACO drop-off), construction debris over 2 cubic yards, automotive fluids, batteries, and electronics (take to SWACO or retailer). Household hazardous waste goes to the SWACO Environmental Campus in Grove City.
