bulky waste

Large discarded items

Bulky waste is large household items too big for regular trash collection—furniture, mattresses, appliances, or yard debris.

Most municipalities require separate pickup or drop-off for bulky waste: Schedule a bulky waste collection before you put that sofa on the curb.

The term appears mainly in official waste management contexts.
