Bulk Trash PickupCheektowaga, NY
Cheektowaga’s sanitation rules are different from Buffalo’s — no district system, no seasonal large haul calendar. Here’s exactly how bulk trash, furniture pickup, and junk removal work for Town of Cheektowaga residents.
How Cheektowaga’s Bulk Trash Program Works
Cheektowaga does not use Buffalo’s district-based seasonal large bulk haul system. Instead, furniture and bulk items are collected with your regular weekly trash service — up to 3 pieces of furniture per week. Appliances require 24-hour advance phone notice to the Sanitation Department before curbside placement.
