Place all items on a stable surface and secure or remove loose parts such as doors or trim. For example, remove the doors to a refrigerator or secure them with tape to prevent children or pets from being trapped inside.
Acceptable heavy trash items:
* Household furnishings such as couches, desks, tables, chairs, dressers.
* Appliances (without Freon-gas refrigerant) such as televisions, stoves, water heaters, water softeners.
--Appliances containing Freon require special handling--
To have a Freon unit collected, empty and disable the appliance and set it out at the curb or alley where your trash is normally picked up. Call the MAC at 327-4622 to arrange pickup. Freon units do not count as part of the monthly two heavy trash items allotment.
* Disassembled bicycles and swing sets.
* Automobile/truck tires mounted on their rims/wheels.
* Lawnmowers must be drained of all gas and oil.

Items considered unacceptable for regular trash pickup are also unacceptable for heavy trash pickup. If legally unacceptable items are left for pickup, a DPW informational tag will notify you how to meet the pickup requirements in both English and Spanish.
