Special Pickup Requests

Home

Special pick-ups are designed for the collection of larger items that will not fit into the hopper of a rubbish scooter, and a larger quantity of items. There is a $10.00 fee for each special pick-up load (the pick-up truck is 0.75 tons or 5′ x 8′) and a two-load (2) maximum per six (6) months. All rubbish cans included in a special pick-up will be discarded, no exceptions.

Special pick-ups are arranged on a first-come, first-serve basis. The City cannot offer a specific time or day for collection; your special pick-up will be collected within 4 business days of when you submit your payment. 

A special pick-up request can be made by filling out the online form (below) and paying by credit card. You can also request a special pick-up by dropping off your request and personal check (made out to the City of University Heights) or cash in the Building Department drop box or mailing it to the Building Department at the address below.
