Bulk Item Disposal

Bulk item pick-up occurs twice each year, once in the fall and once in the spring. This service is free to all Morrisville residents currently receiving curbside residential solid waste service from GFL.

Note: The Town does not provide on-demand bulk pick-up services.

The Town's 2026 bulk pickup weeks are: June 8-12 and October 5-9.

During this specially designated week, residents may leave a total of five acceptable bulk items curbside on their regular trash/recycling curbside pick-up day.

All bulk items presented for pick-up must be curbside and ready for pick-up no later than 7 a.m.

Multi-family properties serviced by dumpsters are not included in the curbside collection.
