Bulk Trash & Large-Item Pickup in Istanbul
Confirm when large items are collected, what needs an appointment, and how to prepare your pickup.
Last verified on
Istanbul bulky waste collection is not a single citywide curbside schedule. Start with ALO 153 or your district municipality to confirm whether furniture, mattresses, carpets, white goods, or electronics are collected by appointment. Construction debris, hazardous waste, and commercial waste use separate licensed or municipal channels.
Service type
Book or ask through ALO 153 or the district municipality; some districts collect large household items by appointment or scheduled crews, while construction debris and commercial waste use separate licensed/fee-based channels.
Limits
Fees: Household bulky pickup fees vary by district. IBB facility acceptance tariffs apply to waste streams delivered to municipal disposal/recovery facilities.

Report abandoned piles or improper dumping immediately.
Always confirm with the latest official notices or municipal postings before making plans.
