Quick answer
Shreveport collects residential bulk waste by appointment; the City’s 15 ft × 6 ft × 6 ft pile limit applies to tree and shrubbery trimmings, not to all household bulky items.
Before you use the rule: City residential solid-waste customers; no bulk pickup from vacant lots or commercial properties.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Household furniture, appliances and tires can be scheduled for bulk collection by appointment. The City ordinance limits tires to four per appointment. The 15 ft × 6 ft × 6 ft limit is specifically for tree and shrubbery trimmings; it should not be presented as a universal furniture/appliance bulk cap. Building materials and contractor-type debris are excluded.
Household hazardous waste and other special material
Holiday weeks can suspend bulk scheduling. Confirm the assigned collection date with Solid Waste before placing heavy items out.
Where to take large items in Shreveport
Request bulky collection through Public Works; the office is the service contact, not a resident dump.
Before set-out
Contact or service note: Schedule with Shreveport Public Works/Solid Waste before set-out. Except for tree/shrubbery trimmings, bulk items may be placed out up to 24 hours before the appointment and must be out before 7:00 a.m. on the appointment day.
- Confirm the property is eligible for the municipal or contracted service described here.
