Pittsfield Bulky Waste Collection Updates
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield participates in a bulky waste collection program for items that are not collected in regular trash pickup.
With the new toter system in place, the bulky waste collection program continues with a change in when items are picked up.
Starting this month, pick up of bulky waste items, that have a paid sticker, will occur during the first full week of the month for January, February, March, April, September, October and November. For the months of May, June, July and December, bulky waste pick up will occur during the first full week and third full week of the month.
Pickup occurs during the designated weeks on your normal collection day. For residents who have purchased bulky waste stickers for their item(s), you can place those items at the curb, the week of Oct. 7, on the same day in which your trash and recycling is picked up. If a bulky waste item does not have the city sticker, it will not be picked up.
A calendar with bulky waste pickup collection weeks can be found here: Recycling Calendar 2024-2025.
Bulky waste items include:
• Broken-down wood furniture
