Clear Out Your Trash On These Dates in Buffalo, New York

With summertime in full swing and the warm weather keeping us occupied, we're pretty sure that no one wants to think about the cooler weather that fall is going to bring. Especially since thinking about fall brings the revelation that winter is coming.

Even though we've gotten through our spring cleaning activities, if you're like most people, you still have plenty of junk nice things lying around the house that need to be tossed out. Some of those things can be tossed in your regular trash pickup, but if you still have a large collection of things, you have another chance to toss them out as the next big trash day is coming to Buffalo.

Twice a year, in the spring and fall, the City of Buffalo offers curbside bulk trash pickup for city residents. City officials have recently released the dates for Fall 2025 bulk trash collection.

Bulk trash collection starts on July 27th this year for the Ellicott District, continues through the end of September, and will allow Buffalo residents to put out a pile of trash that is 12 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high, containing your typical household trash. Items like appliances, couches, furniture, etc., are perfectly fine to toss out.

This is an excellent opportunity to do some more cleaning in preparation for the snow and long winter ahead, no matter how much we want to ignore it

While many different types of trash are acceptable, several items should not be included in your bulk trash. Items such as TVs, computers, construction materials, tires, and paint are not allowed to be discarded. Those items need to be disposed of in a special way, and there are special collection events that occur frequently for them.

You can find the complete list and rules for the City of Buffalo's bulk trash pickup, including exactly what can and cannot be tossed out, right here on the City of Buffalo website.
