Bulky pickup in Tacoma
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Tacoma mattresses use Call-2-Haul — 2 free pickups per year, up to 3 large items per pickup. Schedule at 253-573-2468. Set out on scheduled collection day.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Tacoma electronics including mixed e-waste are NOT accepted on Call-2-Haul. Use E-Cycle Washington authorized drop-off locations. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris exceeds Tacoma Call-2-Haul limits. Hire a private C&D hauler or confirm fee drop-off at 3510 S Mullen St. Route oil paint/chemicals to HHW separately.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Tacoma 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 Tacoma — Call-2-Haul is the official Tacoma 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.
