Bulk Waste Collection

The City of Albany’s Bulk Waste Collection is a convenient service facilitated by our waste contractor to help residents dispose of large volumes of waste.

The next Bulk Green Waste Collection is planned for August-September 2026 and dates for your area will be available closer to the time. The next Bulk Hard Waste Collection is planned for 2027. 

Until the bulk waste collection, there are other options to dispose of unwanted bulky items which include:
