Woodbury, MN Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Sec. 19-2 defines 'bulky waste' as waste that is oversized and cannot fit within a garbage container and requires special pickup, giving furniture, carpeting, mattresses, couches, tables and scrap wood as examples, while excluding major appliances and electronic waste, which are handled separately. The related term 'special pickup' is defined as any collection of materials other than garbage, other refuse, recyclables, or yard waste, including major appliances, furniture, oversized materials and construction debris. Sec. , as arranged directly between the resident and their licensed hauler, rather than on the resident's fixed weekly collection day.

Because bulky waste collection runs through a private licensed hauler under a city license rather than a city crew, residents need to contact their contracted hauler to arrange pickup and any associated fee; the city does not operate a municipal bulk-pickup truck. Haulers performing this work remain subject to the same vehicle, cleanliness and disposal-facility requirements that apply to regular collection under Sec. 19-9, including disposing of collected waste only at facilities designated by the county, and failing to meet the scheduled special-pickup window without giving the customer 24-hour notice is listed as a specific licensing violation in Sec. 19-13(c)(6).
