Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
South Bend gives each household one free bulky pickup per month for mattresss — request it through 311 rather than setting items out unannounced. Keep chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to the St. Joseph County household hazardous waste facility, 828 Kerr Street, South Bend — a permanent depot open Monday–Friday 8:30am–4:00pm and Saturday 8:00am–noon. Refrigerators and other Freon appliances are not accepted there. Bring sealed containers and keep chemicals off the bulky pile.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
South Bend e waste mixed goes to the St. Joseph County household hazardous waste facility, 828 Kerr Street, rather than the bulky pile — confirm which devices are accepted before hauling. Wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not covered by the monthly free bulky pickup. Hire a C&D hauler or use an area transfer site at posted fees. Route paint to the county HHW facility.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
South Bend yard waste follows the city's seasonal yard-waste and leaf collection schedule; confirm current dates through 311.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
South Bend 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 South Bend 311 — Bulky Item Pickup is the official South Bend 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.
