Bulky waste includes large or heavy items that cannot be placed in residential waste bins due to their size or weight. Examples include furniture, carpets, sinks, doors, or certain broken household items. These materials can be brought to the Red Pine solid waste management site, subject to a fee based on the current rate.
Before disposing of them, residents are encouraged to:
- check if a family member, friend, or acquaintance can use them;
- donate them to a community organization if they are in good condition;
- contact a scrap metal dealer for metal items.
If no one wants the item, disposal services vary depending on the locality:
