Subtype: Select either APPLIANCES or OTHER BULKY ITEMS
Address or Parcel #: Only type in your street number and street name, and leave out “Street”, “Ave”, etc.
(NOTE: There are a number of parcels in the City where the postal address and the Assessing address don’t match. If you are unable to locate your address, you may need to search the Assessing Database or our city’s mapping system to find the Parcel ID. You can call 3-1-1 for help if you are unable to proceed.)
If there is no difference between the street address and the Assessing Address, note the next question as “no”. If there is a difference, mark it as “yes” and tell us what your postal address is.

If you did not answer any required question, the system will inform you which question needs answering.
