Managing Bulk Item Removal: A Property Manager's Guide

Improperly disposed bulk items create eyesores, safety hazards, and potential fines for property managers. A clear bulk removal policy and process protects your property while serving resident needs.

Creating a Bulk Removal Policy

Your bulk removal policy should clearly state what items qualify, how residents should request pickup, any associated fees, and consequences for improper disposal. Include this policy in lease agreements and resident handbooks.

• •Define bulk items: furniture, appliances, mattresses, large electronics
• •Establish scheduling process: 24-48 hour advance notice required
• •Specify acceptable placement locations for bulk items
• •Set limits: number of items per request or per month
• •Outline fees if applicable
• •State consequences for unauthorized dumping
