Bulky pickup in Fort Wayne
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Fort Wayne mattresses require 311 scheduling at least 2 business days before your garbage day — free with service. Wrap mattress completely in plastic before set-out. Set out on scheduled garbage day only.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including mixed e-waste are NOT accepted at Allen County Tox-Tuesday HHW. ACDEM electronics events at 2911 Meyer Road — $10 for 1–5 items including 1 TV. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Contractor construction debris is not Fort Wayne 311 scheduled bulk. Hire a private C&D hauler for remodel loads. Route paint/chemicals to Tox-Tuesday separately.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne — Bulk Items is the official Fort Wayne 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.
