Call to Haul

Call to Haul is CBRM’s year‑round large‑item pickup service. Residents can schedule a Call to Haul appointment of up to five bulky household items at a time. You can use this service multiple times throughout the year.

This program replaces the former annual heavy garbage pickup and provides a more flexible, on‑demand option for disposing of large household items.

Before booking an appointment, please review the information below.

The service is available to residents living in:

• Single‑family homes, including mobile homes
• Duplexes, row houses, and townhouses where each unit has street frontage
• Apartment buildings with up to six units

You may place up to five items per appointment.

Only items approved during booking will be collected.

You can book online or by calling 311.

3. Prepare for Pickup

• Place your confirmed items at the curb by 6 a.m. on your scheduled day.
• Items must not be placed on the road or block sidewalks.
• Items placed incorrectly, at the wrong address, or exceeding the five‑item limit will not be picked up.
• Only items approved during booking will be collected.

Residents can schedule pickup for a wide range of large household items. Select a category to view examples.

Regular garbage and blue bags are not accepted through Call‑to‑Haul and must be placed out on your regular collection day.
