Every bulky load is checked at the scale first. Furniture such as dressers, tables and bookshelves, plus drywall, lumber, roofing, windows, siding, carpet and flooring, is weighed; mattresses, couches, chairs and toilets are charged per item. TVs, paint, bulbs, batteries, metal, freon items, tires, propane tanks, brush and household trash go to their own areas, not the bulky bay.
