Ocean City Bulk Pick-up Fee to Increase

The Town of Ocean City Solid Waste Division’s bulk pick-up service will increase. Effective July 1, the cost for bulk pick-up service will be $15 for one item, $25 for up to three items and $5 for each additional item.

Ocean City’s bulk pick-up service offers a convenient way to rid your property of unwanted items. The town’s ordinance code allows for the collection of large household items such as furniture, appliances, bicycles, grills, large umbrellas, clotheslines, carpet, etc., which cannot normally be loaded into a standard refuse truck. This service does not include building materials, roofing, siding, soil, concrete, yard debris, tree stumps, etc. Bulk pick-up service is available to residential properties only within the corporate limits of the town.

To receive pick-up of large bulk items, call the Solid Waste Division of Public Works at 410-524-0318.  City workers are not allowed to go on private property, so items should be placed next to your dumpster, or as close to the sidewalk as possible. Bulk pick-up service operates Mondays through Fridays from May through September; Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, October through April.

Monies will not be collected at the time of pick-up, but billed to the address you prefer.  For more information, call Solid Waste at 410-524-0318.
