Bulky Item Pick Up

Bulky Item INTRO

Bulky Item collections are sent to the landfill and not recycled (electronics, metal appliances, mattresses and box springs are the exceptions) so please use this option last! Donating or selling items will help extend the life of items and give someone else a chance to enjoy them. 

Bulky Item SCHEDULE

You can schedule your pick up by either:

  • Requesting a pickup on the Our Burbank 311 portal or download on the App Store or Google Play at least two business days (not including holidays) before your normal trash day collection.  A picture of the item is required, but easy to upload.
     

  • Calling (818) 238-3800 (Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) 
    at least one business day (not including holidays) before your normal trash collection day.

Apartments and other multi-unit housing may have a different trash collection day than the residential trash collection day. Please view the trash collection map to see when bulky item collection (PDF) is done in your area.
