  1. Bulky Item Pickup

Bulky household items are picked up by MTG Disposal (MEGA) every Tuesday on a weekly basis by appointment only. These items are considered larger household trash items that cannot be placed in your trash cart. Typical items include couches and small furniture items - residents are limited to two items per week. 

Large items such as mattresses, box springs, construction debris, televisions/electronics, or white goods/appliances are not considered bulky items and require a different method of disposal. 

To register for a bulky item pickup, residents can fill out the online bulky item registration form or call the department at 401-728-2400 x155. Scheduling must occur by the Thursday at 1:00 PM prior to the scheduled Tuesday pick-up date.
