Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Providence mattresses are NOT free bulky. Curbside via Waste Management appointment costs $28/item in a sealed clear plastic bag (bags sold at 75 Chapman St). Free Saturday drop-off 7:00 a.m.–12:45 p.m. behind 700 Allens Avenue — 2 items, valid Providence ID, unbagged.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Rhode Island Eco-Depot events accept household hazardous materials by appointment for RI residents. Motor oil/antifreeze at Eco-Depot.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including mixed e-waste are free via Providence WM curbside collection (schedule form/800-972-4545) OR free Saturday drop-off 7:00 a.m.–12:45 p.m. behind 700 Allens Avenue. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Providence free bulky is limited to 3 household items/week for buildings ≤6 units — not contractor C&D. Hire a private C&D hauler for remodel loads. Route paint to Eco-Depot separately.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Providence handles yard waste through regular collection. Follow set-out rules on providenceri.gov.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Providence 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 Providence — Tricky items is the official Providence 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.
