Bulky pickup in Columbus
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Columbus GA mattresss go on city bulk collection — schedule via 311. Residents may also use Pine Grove Landfill pathways. Keep HHW off bulk piles.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Columbus GA electronics including e waste mixed go to Recycling Center HHW/e-waste events — confirm event dates on columbusga.gov. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not typical free bulk material. Hire private C&D or confirm Pine Grove Landfill C&D rules. Route paint/chemicals to Recycling Center HHW events.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Columbus 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. City of Columbus — Solid Waste / 311 is the official Columbus 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.
