  • August Moving Days: How to Set Out Appliances, Furniture, & Other Large Items for Collection. Please follow these guidelines so Streets Division collections will be faster and safer. If you are moving, it is in your best interest to set the items out within the guidelines so crews can collect the items quickly and minimize the congestion caused by large, slow moving collection vehicles.
    • Keep items away from obstructions like fire hydrants and street signs.
    • Do not place items under overhead obstructions like low-hanging wires and low tree limbs, too.
    • Keep the large item piles tidy. For example, if you have disassembled a desk, stack the wood pieces neatly.
    • Separate metal items and appliances, such as bed frames or air conditioners, separate from other material so they can be easily collected and recycled.
    • Do not pile bagged trash or recyclables on top of large items or appliances.
    • Remember to use your collection carts for trash and recyclables that can fit inside. And never make loose heaps of papers, clothes, or other waste that can blow around and clutter your neighborhood.

Please review that release or check the Streets Division's Moving Days webpage to be sure you are using the system the right way. The moving days website is www.cityofmadison.com/MovingDays.

If you live outside of the move-out area and have questions regarding the large item system, please review the large item website, www.cityofmadison.com/LargeItem.
