The cleanup after the work

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.

Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.

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.

  1. Arrange the removal work

    Have the fixture safely detached and any plumbing or electrical connections handled by an appropriate professional. We do not remove installed fixtures or perform demolition.

  2. Keep the booked items separate

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

    Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction, remodeling and clean-out debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction and remodeling debris is refused in the curbside bulky collection, and the City directs those loads to private haulers instead of a city service.

City cost & eligibility
The City lists lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing and any construction or remodeling debris as non-qualifying for the curbside extra trash and bulky item collection, along with house clean-outs of more than 20 bags or boxes, and states that disposing of those items is the property owner's responsibility. It recommends Rumpke at 812-372-1225, Best Way Disposal at 800-354-1830 and Waste Management at 502-702-4013, none of which publishes a rate on the City page.
When & how
Arrange the load with a private hauler before the project produces debris, because it cannot go out with the toters or on the curbside bulky pile.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of every toter and off the bulky pile, and keep carpeting out as well, because the City refuses carpeting along with construction and remodeling debris. The county landfill page read here lists no construction material, so confirm the receiving site before loading.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Two furniture pieces, two appliances, twenty bags

The curbside allowance is up to two pieces of furniture, up to two appliances and up to 20 bags or boxes of trash. Televisions, monitors and screens, carpeting, lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing, construction and remodeling debris, and clean-outs beyond 20 bags are refused, and a load like that is the property owner's responsibility through a private hauler.

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

Hire a private hauler for a refused load

A household or contractor with construction debris, carpeting or a whole house clean-out that the City will not collect.

Cost & conditions
The City publishes no rate for construction, remodeling or clean-out debris because it does not collect it, and states that disposal is the property owner's responsibility. It recommends Rumpke at 812-372-1225, Best Way Disposal at 800-354-1830 and Waste Management at 502-702-4013, each of which quotes the load directly, so confirm the container, the accepted material and the price before ordering.
Arrange it
Contact one of the recommended haulers before the project or clean-out starts, and keep the material out of the city toters and off the curbside bulky pile.

These are private services outside the City program, and the landfill accepted materials list read here does not include construction debris, so confirm where the load will actually be disposed of.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Columbus residents have two county sites close by. The Columbus/Bartholomew Recycling Center at 720 S. Mapleton Street takes two sort recycling with cardboard kept separate, residential electronic waste, scrap metal, flags for retirement and the Tox-Away household hazardous waste program, and it is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with household hazardous waste hours listed as Tuesday to Friday. The Bartholomew County Landfill at 811 E. CR 450 S. takes scrap metal, residential electronic waste, used motor oil with nothing mixed in, refrigerant containing appliances and tires, and it is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the backside closing at 1 p.m. and no trailers over four feet on the small load pad. Televisions and computer monitors cost a flat charge at either site, and refrigerant appliances and tires are charged by the unit. Both facilities serve Bartholomew County residents only with no business electronic waste, and there are also convenience stations open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Harrison on Old Nashville Road and Petersville on 25th Street. Construction and remodeling debris has no county route on the pages read here, so that load goes to a private hauler.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Columbus.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Columbus?

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 Columbus?

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.

How do I clear construction debris in Columbus?

Not through the City's curbside services, because lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing and any construction or remodeling debris are non-qualifying for the bulky collection and cannot go in the toters. The City recommends Rumpke, Best Way Disposal or Waste Management, and states that disposal is the property owner's responsibility.Official guidance

Can I put a whole house clean-out at the curb?

No. The City treats a move-out or clean-out of more than 20 bags or boxes as non-qualifying and the property owner's responsibility, and the vendor list it publishes is the route for that kind of load.Official guidance

How does the Columbus trash program work?

The City Sanitation Department runs an automated toter program, with trash and yard waste collected weekly and recycling every other week on the same trash day. Trash has to be bagged inside the toter, toters go out by 7 a.m. and come back within 24 hours, and anything that does not fit needs a special pickup request through the CurbCycle app or 812-376-2509.Official guidance

What is the fastest way to clear out a house in Columbus?

Set out up to two pieces of furniture, two appliances and 20 bags or boxes and request a curbside pickup, then use the county sites for the rest. Televisions and monitors go to the county program for a flat charge, refrigerant appliances and tires are charged by the unit at the landfill, household hazardous waste goes to Tox-Away, and a clean-out larger than the limits or any construction debris goes to a private hauler.Official guidance

How do I get a yard waste toter?

Sign up through the City's yard waste program online or by calling the Department of Public Works at 812-376-2509, and pay before the toter is delivered. The 2026 routes run from March 16 through December 11, and the City does not publish the toter price on the page read here, so ask when signing up.Official guidance

Where do tires go?

To the Bartholomew County Landfill, which charges per tire. Car and light truck tires are 3 dollars without a rim and 5 dollars with one, truck tires 19.5 inch and up are 14 dollars without a rim and 26 dollars with one, floaters are 22 and 36 dollars, and a farm tractor tire is 50 dollars.Official guidance

Can I get compost from the yard waste program?

Yes. Yard waste collected in the city program is composted at the Bartholomew County Yard Waste site, and residents can pick up compost at the Bartholomew County Recycling Center, either self serve or loaded for a fee. Households that skip the toter program can take yard waste to the compost site at the Department of Public Works, bringing their bags home after they are emptied.Official guidance
