Bulky/Large Item Pickup (by request): the basics

Who can use it

  • Virginia Beach residents who receive City curbside services.

How to book

  1. Request a pickup online through VB311 (preferred), call 757-385-4650, email wastemgt@vbgov.com, or go in person to the Waste Management office at 3024 Holland Road.
  2. Request it ahead of your regular weekly trash day. The City prefers one request for several items rather than many single-item pickups.

Setting items out

  • Place items at the curb between 5 p.m. the day before your scheduled collection and 7 a.m. on collection day.
  • Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides (from carts, yard waste, poles, mailboxes, cable boxes, vehicles).
  • Do not put items on the street or sidewalk, or under power lines or low tree limbs.
  • Pick up any small debris left after collection and put it in your black trash cart.

Fees

  • The City's bulky item page does not list a separate charge. City curbside service is funded by the Waste Collection and Disposal fee, $30.55 per month on the City Services Bill.
  • Not eligible for bulky pickup: building/renovation materials, carpet, cabinets, doors, sinks, toilets, glass, wood pallets, cardboard boxes, bags, tires, paint, propane tanks, hazardous waste, boats, RVs, vehicle parts and computer towers.

Drop-off options

  • Landfill & Resource Recovery Center, Jake Sears Road, Tuesday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 757-385-1980. Virginia Beach residents only, with proof of residency, in a residential vehicle (no commercial vans; trailers under 10 feet only, no dump beds). Items for the landfill go into the convenience-center containers, so items must be lifted over the side; the City suggests bringing someone to help.
  • The Resource Recovery Center at the same site takes metals, appliances (including stainless-steel appliances), electronics (no CRTs) and up to four car tires per visit for free. Appliances with refrigerant go through the household hazardous waste area; tell the gate attendant.

What we could not confirm

  • The City's bulky item page says to request pickup at least three days before your trash day, but the main Trash & Recycling page says two weeks or more. Book early to be safe.
  • The City's pages give the landfill address as both 1989 and 1985 Jake Sears Road.
  • No City page we found says whether bulky pickup ever carries a per-pickup charge, or names a limit on the number of items.
