To dispose of oversize trash, such as furniture or bicycles, contact your local authority (city hall) to arrange a special pickup service for a fee. The fee for a special pickup service may vary by community and also by type of items of which you wish to dispose; make sure to ask the authority about the exact fee when you arrange the service.
Four major home appliances, which are air conditioners, TV sets, refrigerators/freezers, and washing machines, cannot be picked up as oversize trash. If you are replacing those items with new ones, ask the store where you are buying the new one to collect the old one. If you only need to dispose of the old one and don't know where the item was purchased, contact your local authority and ask about an appropriate procedure (residents of 23 wards should contact the Home Appliance Recycling Center).
To recycle personal computers, request the collection of your computer from its manufacturer.
For details about local regulations for trash categories, collection schedules and recycling systems, contact the trash collection/recycling authority or department in the ward (or city, town or village) where you reside.
