The project is done. Get your space back.

The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.

Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction and demolition debris

Special rules apply

The city publishes no construction route. Spring Cleanup refuses construction and demolition waste, concrete chunks of all sizes, asphalt shingles, wooden playsets, fencing, home improvement and landscaping items, and the scrap metal event refuses wood and plastics, so a project load goes with a private hauler.

City cost & eligibility
No city service and no city rate exist for this material, so the cost is the private hauler's or the receiving site's. The city refuses the material at every route it runs, so the terms are confirmed with the hauler before the load is built.
When & how
Arrange the container or haul before work starts, because the material cannot go out on the collection day, in a Spring Cleanup pile, or into a scrap metal event load.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, asphalt shingles, fencing, playsets, wood, plastics and home improvement debris out of every city route, since each is refused at Spring Cleanup or at the scrap metal event. Separate any metal, because general scrap metal is accepted free at the drop-off events while the rest of a project load is not.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Spring Cleanup takes one truckload, on the normal garbage day

Spring Cleanup is free to households that receive city collection, runs in the published collection week in the first days of June, and takes household items that do not fit the cart, including couches, end tables, mattresses, televisions, monitors, fans, lamps, grills with the propane tank removed, and carpet rolled and secured to no more than four feet by eighteen inches. The whole pile has to fit in the bed of one standard pickup truck or it is all left behind, every item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely, and items go out no earlier than 5:00 pm the night before and no later than 6:00 am on the collection day. Appliances, construction material, tires, glass, bagged or boxed items, propane tanks and hazardous material are all refused.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

With a new purchase

Arrange a private haul for a project or an excluded load

A West Des Moines household or contractor with construction material or a heavy load that the city's routes refuse.

Cost & conditions
No city service covers construction material and the city publishes no rate for it, so the price is the hauler's or the receiving site's. The terms are confirmed with the hauler before the load is built, because the material is refused at Spring Cleanup and at the scrap metal event.
Arrange it
Contact a hauler serving West Des Moines, describe the material and the access at the property, and confirm where the load goes and what it costs.

Construction and demolition waste, concrete, asphalt shingles, fencing, playsets, home improvement debris, wood and plastics are all outside the city's routes, so they cannot be hidden in a sticker load or a Spring Cleanup pile.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

West Des Moines collects garbage from single family homes, duplexes, triplexes and four plexes and bills it with water and sewer on the municipal services bill, but Metro Waste Authority runs the disposal side, and that shapes the self haul answer. Anything the cart will not hold goes to the curb with a sticker: one sticker for a bag of trash, a small television, a couch, a desk, a table, up to four kitchen chairs, a toilet part, a window or a twin mattress; two for a queen or king mattress or box spring; and seven for a curbside appliance such as a fridge, freezer, washer, dryer, microwave or water heater, which has to be scheduled by telephone before it is set out. Twice a year the city opens a free scrap appliance and metal drop off at Public Services East on S. 16th Street from 8 AM to noon, taking appliances, metal, computers, printers, DVD players, game systems, cell phones and exercise equipment, but never a television or monitor. Televisions and monitors go free to the Spring Cleanup week in early June, where everything must fit in one standard pickup truck bed and be light enough for two people to lift, or to the curb with a sticker whose count depends on the screen size. The city also runs a free spring tire collection limited to five tires per household with no rims, and household chemicals, cleaners and oils go either to the Metro hazardous waste site in Bondurant, or to the Grimes transfer station by appointment or on the second Saturday of the month from March through November, or to a paid house side bin collection that a resident schedules once the bins are full. Construction material, glass, propane tanks and bagged trash are refused everywhere in the city system, so a project load needs a private hauler.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in West Des Moines.

How much does construction debris removal cost in West Des Moines?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in West Des Moines?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Will West Des Moines take construction debris?

No. Spring Cleanup refuses construction and demolition waste, concrete chunks of all sizes, asphalt shingles, wooden playsets and fencing, and home improvement or landscaping items, and the scrap metal drop-off event refuses wood and plastics. The city publishes no other construction route, so a project load goes with a private hauler or to a site that accepts it. Metal separated from the load can still go free to a scrap metal event.Official guidance
