Big Garbage DayLackawanna, NY
Looking for big garbage day in Lackawanna? The city calls it “bulk trash pickup” — but it’s the same thing. Lackawanna runs 3 bulk weeks per year, a monthly 1-item bonus rule, and a $50 per-item off-schedule fee. Here’s everything you need to know.
Big Garbage Day Lackawanna NY — How the Program Works
Lackawanna doesn’t use the phrase “big garbage day” officially — but that’s exactly what residents are looking for. The city calls it bulk trash pickup, and it’s one of the most structured programs in Erie County. Three annual bulk weeks allow 5 bulk items plus 1 cubic yard of debris each. Between bulk weeks, every Lackawanna address can put out 1 bulk item on the first FULL week of each month — on your regular garbage day. Off-schedule pickup is available for $50 per item by calling DPW at (716) 827-6406. Check lackawannany.gov for the current 2026 bulk week dates.
