Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:

TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:

Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not accepted on DPW bulk or at Fort Totten. Use a private C&D hauler. Route paint/chemicals to Special Waste events.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
DC yard waste is appointment-based via 311 (max 20 paper bags) or Fort Totten drop-off (Tue–Fri 10–2, Sat 7–2).
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Washington recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. DC DPW — Bulk Collections is the official Washington program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
