Moving day: when to put out your bulky waste
Enter your address to see whether your sector gets an extra bulky-waste collection for the moving period — and on which day.
Next moving season's dates aren't published yet. Here are the last published season's, for reference — enter your address for what the dataset says today.
The “July 1” collection mostly isn't on July 1. The City adds an extra bulky-waste collection for the moving period in only some sectors, and the dates spread over several weeks either side of July 1. The counts above the table give the exact figures for the season the dataset holds.
Those dates aren't gathered anywhere: the City's moving page covers permits, leases and address changes rather than collections, and borough announcements disappear once the season passes. This is also the only date the bulky calendar ever gives you: the rest of the year the rule is “the nth such-and-such day of the month”, with no dates at all.
Watch what the curb won't take — mattresses, upholstered furniture, electronics, fridges. That is precisely what people get rid of when they move, and precisely what ends up on the sidewalk.

Extra collections for the moving period
By borough, from the City's open dataset, for the season it holds. Where a borough shows several dates they don't all apply to the same address — enter yours above. Boroughs absent from the table get no extra collection; your usual day applies.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the extra collection on July 1?
- Rarely. Only a handful of sectors have their extra collection on July 1 itself; elsewhere it falls on another date in the moving period, sometimes more than a week before or after.
- What if my sector gets no extra collection?
- Then your usual bulky-waste day applies. About half the island's sectors get no additional collection for the moving period.
- Can I leave my sofa on the sidewalk on moving day?
- Only the evening before your collection, and only if the item is accepted. In most sectors upholstered furniture goes out with household garbage, not with bulky waste.
- Where do I take what isn't collected?
- To an écocentre. They take mattresses and upholstered furniture, electronics, fridges and household hazardous waste, free for residents up to an annual volume.
