Does Colonial Heights pick up outdoor items?
Colonial Heights operates monthly bulk pickup through city collection services, but residents face 2-3 week scheduling delays that don't match the fast-paced needs of this Tri-Cities area community. At just 7.7 square miles, the city's limited infrastructure creates bottlenecks during peak moving seasons.
City program details: City of Colonial Heights Bulk Collection. Frequency: monthly. Wait: 2-3 weeks. Fees: included with regular service
Colonial Heights residents coordinate with city services that charge through regular fees but require 2-3 week waits, self-haul to Petersburg's Crater Regional Landfill costs $15-40 per load plus gas and time, while Richmond-area private haulers charge $100-350 with varying reliability.
Dropcurb picks up outdoor items same-day in Colonial Heights for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Tri-Cities location demands faster service than monthly pickup.
Colonial Heights sits between Petersburg and Hopewell with constant military relocations from nearby Fort Lee. The city's monthly system with 2-3 week delays doesn't match the rapid pace of Richmond metro area moves and contractor assignments.

What happens to your outdoor item after pickup
Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.
