Bulky items are non-upholstered items that are too big to be put in a bag, box or garbage can. These objects are recovered and reclaimed.
Caution! In Sector A, bulky items and mattresses, sofas and armchairs will be picked up on the same day, May 4, July 6 and October 12. Please separate the items for these two collections into two separate piles, which will be recovered by two different trucks.
