Republic Services Large Item Pick-Up Procedures

Effective November 1, 2026, bulk pickup will no longer be collected on the first Monday of each month.

Instead, approved bulk items will be collected on your regular weekly trash collection day (Tuesday or Wednesday) during the first week of each month.

This change is being made to improve efficiency and provide more consistent service to our customers. By aligning bulk collection with your regular trash day, we hope to make the program more convenient and easier to remember.

Please place your approved bulk items at the curb by 5:00 a.m. on your first scheduled trash collection day of each month.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement this change. If you have any questions regarding bulk collection guidelines, your pickup schedule, or have more than one large item that needs to be picked up, please contact our office at 574-842-4719.

Please call Republic Services at the number listed above to inform them of your large item.
