Kirkwood Spring Bulky Item Collection Dates Announced

From the City of Kirkwood:

March 1, 2021

Bulky item collection gives Kirkwood residents the opportunity to dispose of large furniture and appliances. Bulky item collection will occur two times per year, at no charge, throughout the entire city; once in the spring and once in the fall. All residents participating in the Bulky Item Collection Program must pre-register at least one week prior to their scheduled trash/recycling service day. Bulky items must be placed curbside by the Sunday night of their scheduled bulky collection week.

Spring Collection Dates - April 5, 2021 to April 29, 2021

The City has been divided into four areas for bulky item collection: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday trash/recycling routes. This means your sanitation pickup day determines your bulky item collection week. Additionally, your solid waste (trash bill) account MUST BE CURRENT to participate in the bulky item collection program.

Monday trash routes: April 5–8

Tuesday trash routes: April 12-15

Wednesday trash routes: April 19-22

Thursday trash routes: April 26-29

Residents must pre-register for the bulky item collection program by calling 314-984-5927 or online by visiting kirkwoodmo.org/BulkyItem.

If you miss your scheduled bulky item collection, a separate special pick-up can be scheduled for an additional fee by visiting kirkwoodmo.org/Special.
