Bulky pickup in Cleveland
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Cleveland mattresss go out during Bulk Week (first full week of each month) — up to 3 bulk items; request via 311 24–48 hours ahead. Mattresses/furniture must be wrapped in plastic. Drop-off: Ridge Road Transfer Station (4 free visits/year).
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Cleveland Household Hazardous Waste collection on the first Friday of each month at Carr Center and Ridge Road Transfer Station. Latex paint is NOT accepted — dry out and trash. Keep chemicals off bulk piles.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Cleveland TVs may go during Bulk Week. Year-round drop-off at Carr Center (5600 Carnegie Ave) accepts computers and cell phones only — other e-waste including e waste mixed should follow CuyahogaRecycles.org pathways. Wipe data.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Cleveland 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 Cleveland — Division of Waste Collection is the official Cleveland 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.
