CITY REMINDS RESIDENTS TO USE LARGE ITEM COLLECTION SERVICE.  
                                      
In an effort to keep City properties and streets clean, the City of York reminds residents to use the large item collection service.  Household items that do not fit the weight and size limits for regular trash are “large items.” 
 


Here’s how the large item collection service works:

Large items must be scheduled about a week in advance. York City refuse customers only may schedule up to five (5) household furniture/appliance items each week, as needed. There are some items that will not be collected through the City’s curbside program and that must be handled privately. Please see attached list for items included and excluded from this program.

To schedule a large-item pick up please call 843-1240 Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

A complete list of items that may be scheduled for large item collection is available for viewing. Remember, large items must be scheduled in advance.

For questions about the large item line please call the City’s Public Works Department at 849-2245.

For further information go to - Environmental Services.

Violations of Article 951 of the City's codified ordinances could result in fines up to $600 per occurrence
