Need a new project to work on? Look no further than the University City, MO Bulk Trash Collection!

If you live in St. Louis, you are near one of the best large item trash collections around--University City, MO. ONE, because U. City consolidates the pick-up to twice a year ( a lot of stuff is put out in front of almost all the houses.) And TWO, because they allow everyone access to their pick up schedule on their website: bulky item schedule

If you live in the area, take a cruise through the streets of U. City. You might just find an item you need and that needs your help to give it a new life!

Collection runs: September 14th - October 2nd. Try to get out Sunday evening or early Monday Morning before the city begins to pick up the garbage!

(I know the East Area is already over, but don't worry, you didn't miss much. . . sorry East Area.)
