Garden City curbside large-item collection (Priority Waste)
Residential curbside customers in Garden City. The city does not publish whether an apartment or multi-unit address is served.
Conditions and source
"Only one large, bulky item, such as an appliance or piece of furniture, will be collected per week" on the regular trash day "at no additional charge," and "No need to schedule a pick-up," so there is no booking and no notice period. The mattress clause is explicit on both the wrapping and the counting: "Mattresses and box springs must be placed in a mattress bag or wrapped in plastic" "and count as one item for large-item pickup." Items go out by 7 a.m. on the service day, placed separately from other trash. Refrigerators and freezers need doors and racks removed first.
Not confirmed: The clause does not make clear whether a mattress and a box spring together are one item or each is one; the wording is carried verbatim rather than resolved
Not confirmed: No fee is published for a second large item in the same week
