Large Bulk Collection

Bulk waste refers to items that are typically too large to be disposed of in your regular curbside trash container. The annual bulk pick-up is essential as it helps keep our community clean, ensures proper disposal of large items, and prevents illegal dumping. 

  • The 2026 large bulk collection will run from Monday, 4/20/26, to Friday, 4/24/26.  Please have items placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your designated trash and recycling day.
  • Olivette only provides refuse collection services to single-family homes and condominium complexes.  Apartments, industrial properties, and business are NOT eligible for bulk collection.

The annual bulk pick-up occurs during the third full week of April. We encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of large items responsibly. If you have any questions, please call Republic Services at (636) 947-5959.

  • Couches
