- Free curbside donation collection: May 16th-May 31st
Curbside bulk trash pickup every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday* May 9th-30th
* Friday collections: No household trash will be picked up on Fridays, only bulk trash (mattresses, broken furniture, etc.) Place all items neatly by the curb by 10 AM.
Off-campus UPenn students between 40th and 43rd streets, and Baltimore and Chestnut streets, can now schedule a free curbside pickup from May 16th through May 31st for their gently used items. That means two professional movers and a box truck will come directly to your door to haul your donations away—no heavy lifting, no logistics, no stress.
Your donations don’t just disappear. Furniture gets redistributed to support local families throughout Philadelphia. Clothing and electronics are reused or responsibly recycled. And every item you give helps keep these items out of landfills while supporting our neighbors in Philadelphia.

Curbside Bulk Trash Removal
For items that cannot be donated, Penn provides an additional day of curbside trash pick-up every Friday in May between 40th to 43rd Street, Chestnut Street to Baltimore Ave. Please bag your unwanted items and place them neatly outside your residence for collection by 10 AM. Please be aware, the city has added a second pick-up day to its regular pick-up schedule throughout May, so you will have three pick-up options each week.
42nd Street Road Closure
The 42nd street road closure between Spruce and Baltimore currently prevents trash, recycling, and donation trucks from accessing curbside collections. Those impacted by this closure may bring materials to be collected to the closest corner.
