Bulky pickup in Flint
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Flint collects up to three bulk items per week with regular sanitation service. Mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in plastic before set-out. Put mattresss at the curb on your normal day and keep chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Genesee County does not operate a permanent household hazardous waste facility. Take motor oil to a Recycle Day collection event on a published date — locations rotate, so confirm on gcmpc.org before loading the car. Store material sealed in original containers until then and never put chemicals in the trash cart.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Flint e waste mixed is not a curbside item and there is no permanent county electronics depot. Take it to a Genesee County Recycle Day collection event on a published date. Check gcmpc.org for the schedule and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris does not count toward the three weekly bulk items. Hire a C&D hauler or use an area transfer site at posted fees. Route paint to a Recycle Day event.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Flint 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 Flint — Sanitation is the official Flint 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.
