Goshen bulky pickup: up to two large items a month
Goshen Street Department’s current city page describes a recurring allowance of up to two large items per month with regular trash outside Beautify Goshen Week.
Quick answer
The Goshen Street Department says up to two large items per month can accompany regular weekly trash outside its annual Beautify Goshen event. The City’s curbside hauler is Borden Waste-Away. Confirm your address, which items qualify and setout details at 574-293-5001.
What to do before setting it out
- Step 1. Check that the street address is inside Goshen City limits and served under the City curbside contract, not merely a Goshen mailing address.
- Step 2. Count large pieces individually. A sofa and a chair would use the monthly two-item allowance; confirm unusual items with Borden.
- Step 3. Call Borden Waste-Away at 574-293-5001 about preparation and the regular pickup day before leaving heavy items at the curb.
- Step 4. Do not confuse Beautify Goshen Week’s separate temporary drop-off arrangements with the rest-of-year monthly pickup rule.
What about my items?
City guidance covers household large items, up to two per month. Ask the hauler about special weight or size limits.
Confirm whether mattresses and box springs each count as one item and whether a sanitary wrapping requirement applies.
The Street Department excludes electronics and TVs from the usual large-item allowance; arrange a separate authorized disposal path.
Do not place paint, chemicals, rubble or remodel debris with the monthly large-item collection unless the provider authorizes it.
Fees, limits and important exceptions
The Street Department describes the two-item monthly allowance without a separate charge. The earlier 2022 contracted bulky-item price sheet is historical and should not be applied to extra items or unusual material in 2026; ask Borden for any current charge.
Service boundaries, apartment arrangements and holiday changes can affect a household. Do not put an item at the curb before verifying its eligibility if it is outside the ordinary listed categories.
Useful next step
If the item is excluded, ask your provider for an authorized drop-off, donation or paid collection route. Do not leave bulky items in front of a recycling depot without permission.
