I’ve used WM many times for bulk pickup in Providence and haven’t had any issues. I’m a little surprised.

Call WM at 1(800)972-4545 and follow the prompts. You’ll need to call at least 1 day before your normal scheduled trash pickup day. They’ll schedule the pickup, usually for the same day as your normal trash pickup. More info here:

If they still aren’t picking up, I’d ask to speak to a manager and go full Karen, or start calling them out on Twitter. I’ve never had issues with WM picking up bulk items, but I have had issues with them dropping off new trash bins, and the only way to resolve it was to go full Karen.

Good luck.

Same, ive used it a ton and never really had a problem. They have always been very nice on the phone. Call at least 24 hours before your pickip day,if you are a Monday pickup you need to call before noon on the Friday before.

If someone grabs it when you put it out and you have a chance don't forget to cancel, they'll have more time to actually pick stuff up instead of driving by your house for no reason.
