A hot tub is far bigger than a normal bulky item: it is usually drained, disconnected from power by an electrician, cut into sections and hauled as debris. Drain it a few days ahead so the shell is lighter.
How pickup works in Rockford
Rockford collects bulk items every week on your garbage day with no call ahead. The cap is one truck hopper, about 3 cubic yards, per home per week, and more than that adds a bulk surcharge. Prep matters here: cut boards and poles to 4 feet, fold king mattresses, and halve king box springs.
The schedule, set-out and limit rules don't single out hot tubs and spas; they follow the general bulky item rules.
