Businesses are not eligible for bulky waste collection. (Section 138)
5. If a business generates more than 96 gallons of solid waste at each routine collection (the limit is 35 gallons in the FQ/DDD) or if the property is used as a restaurant, bar or hotel or if the property has more than 4 units, private arrangements are required for the removal of solid waste.
