Earthbound’s Community Support Efforts


Earthbound is a family owned business located in the Chippewa Valley. As a result of the community support we receive, we feel it is our responsibility to reciprocate such support. Ways we look to give back consist of investing in community focused projects, offering education and outreach, and providing employment opportunities to people with disabilities. We are honored to be your local community partner providing high quality services that benefit us all.

Does Earthbound pick up bulk items?

As of March 2024, all area haulers have discontinued participation in the free aspect of the bulk item collections. Please see Eau Claire County's Press Release for more information.  As a small local business with a focus on sustainability there is often a large cost associated with these collections and many of the items disposed of are items that could possibly be donated or recycled in some way. We are here to help folks identify if there may be a better means of disposing of larger items so have included the link to the Eau Claire County's Recycling & Disposal Guide, which is very helpful in identifying how to manage many of the items that are commonly disposed of during bulk item week.  With that, we do understand that we all end up with bulk items that just aren't salvageable in any way and must be thrown in the landfill. We're happy to accommodate the collection of bulk items for an identified fee, which ranges based on what item(s) are being collected. We ask that subscribers send us an Email indicating what they need collected. Pictures are most helpful for items such as chairs, couches, desks and anything that could vary in size, material and weight as we'll want to be sure we can get you an accurate quote. Please note that bulk items placed curbside will not be collected unless we have heard from the account holder to schedule collection and pre-payment has been received. Additionally, if there is a request for a bulk item collection, this may occur on a day separate from your regular curbside collection depending on how many collections are set for a day. **Earthbound will not collect bulk items from non-subscribers.**
