Bulk collection guidelines
WM picks up oversize items once a month in South Fayette
WM (Waste Management) offers bulk waste collection the second full week of each month. WM starts each week with Monday.
Bulk items are limited to two items per month, per household.
There is no charge to residents who already receive curbside waste pickup. Place your bulk items at the curb on the same day as your trash collection during your bulk collection week.
WM accepts furniture, appliances or other oversize residential items that are too large for the garbage cart.
If your refrigerator, freezer, air conditioning unit or other appliance contains a refrigerant such as Freon, you will need to have the coolant professionally removed and tagged before you place it at the curb.
Bulk collection does NOT include additional bags of trash. However, for $6 per bag, WM will collect extra household garbage bags. For more information about this service, please call WM at 1-800-866-4460.
