Quick answer
Vancouver provides eligible residential customers with one free bulky-item pickup per year. The City says the collection can include up to five qualifying items, with each item generally under 100 pounds.
Who qualifies matters. Eligible residential garbage customers; item and weight limits apply.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Furniture and mattresses can use the annual bulky pickup when accepted. Yard debris, tires, construction debris, electronics, household hazardous waste and refrigerant appliances are excluded from that ordinary pickup.
Household hazardous waste and other special material
The City also describes a separate annual appliance option for eligible single-family customers, while Clark County programs handle household hazardous waste and other special materials.
Where to take large items in Vancouver
Regional transfer/recycling route for accepted household waste and large items.
Before set-out
Schedule the annual pickup through the City's current RecycleRight/Waste Connections route and have accepted items ready by the published morning set-out time. Keep excluded special materials separate.
- Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
- Check whether the bulky route requires an appointment, assigned week, sticker, fee or volume limit.
