A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and remodeling debris

Accepted with preparation

Large loads go to one of the city cleanup days, where the fee depends on the vehicle, or to a paid curbside pickup arranged with the city contractor.

City cost & eligibility
From $25 for the published cleanup day load fees, which start with a back seat or car trunk load and rise for a minivan load, a pickup bed load, a trailer or cargo van load and a box truck load, with a separate price for a scheduled curbside pickup arranged through the city contractor. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days at the Municipal Service Center, with payment by check, credit or debit card or exact cash, and a curbside pickup arranged directly with the city collection contractor for its own charge.
When & how
The city holds two cleanup days a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, with loads accepted until noon. Residents with city collection can also schedule a curbside pickup with the contractor at any time the company has availability.
Get it ready
Keep household trash, recyclables, hazardous waste, light bulbs, batteries and yard waste out of the load because the cleanup day refuses them, and keep dirt, sod, rocks, concrete and tree debris out too. Remodeling material in good condition is separated from furniture where possible, because an on site vendor decides whether material can be salvaged or reused.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Unusable furniture goes to a cleanup day inside a priced load or into a prepaid curbside pickup arranged with the city contractor, and furniture in good condition can go to the city reuse event instead.

City cost & eligibility
From $25 for the published cleanup day load fees, which start with a back seat or car trunk load and rise for larger vehicles, while the city reuse event accepts clean, good condition furniture at no charge. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days and at the reuse event run with Edina and Hennepin County. The reuse event is free but every item is vetted on site and the partners can refuse it. A household with city collection can also pay the collection contractor for a scheduled curbside pickup of the same furniture, at a price the contractor sets, so confirm the charge on 952.226.6457.
When & how
Take unusable furniture to a cleanup day before noon, arrange a prepaid curbside pickup with the contractor if a cleanup day does not fit the schedule, or bring good condition pieces to the reuse event on its posted date from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center.
Get it ready
Separate furniture from remodeling material where possible because the vendor may salvage usable pieces, and make sure anything going to the reuse event is clean and in good working condition with no rips, stains, strong odors or pet hair. Attendees have to drive material in, and walking or biking items to the site is prohibited.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses are taken at the city cleanup days for a per piece fee or through a prepaid curbside pickup arranged with the city contractor, and Hennepin County also accepts them at one of its drop-off facilities.

City cost & eligibility
From $27 for the published per piece mattress and box spring fee at the city cleanup days, with each piece charged separately and the county Brooklyn Park facility publishing its own per item bedding fee. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days, and Hennepin County households at the county drop-off facility, where the bedding fee and any other charges are published on the county page. A household with city collection can also pay the collection contractor for a scheduled curbside pickup of bedding, at a price the contractor sets, so confirm the charge on 952.226.6457.
When & how
Take the piece to a cleanup day before noon, arrange a prepaid curbside pickup with the contractor, or use the county drop-off facility during its posted hours, because mattresses are not collected with the carts.
Get it ready
Count each mattress and each box spring as a separate piece, keep the bedding dry, and bring help to unload it because participants handle their own items at the cleanup day. The piece cannot go in the garbage cart, where it would not fit with the lid closed.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are recycled at the city cleanup days for a flat per item fee, including the units that hold refrigerant, or through a prepaid curbside pickup arranged with the city contractor.

City cost & eligibility
From $15 for the published per item appliance and microwave recycling fee at the city cleanup days, which covers air conditioners, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, dryers, freezers, furnaces, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, washers and similar units, while the county drop-off publishes its own per item large appliance fee. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days, and Hennepin County households at the county drop-off facilities, with the county fee published separately from its charged list. A household with city collection can also pay the collection contractor for a scheduled curbside pickup of an appliance, at a price the contractor sets, so confirm the charge on 952.226.6457.
When & how
Bring the unit to a cleanup day before noon, arrange a prepaid curbside pickup with the contractor, or use a county drop-off facility, because appliances are not collected with the carts.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before hauling it, and declare a cooling unit at the event so it is handled as an appliance rather than as scrap metal. Ask the event staff about refrigerant handling for the unit, because the fee covers recycling rather than any recovery step performed at the house.

Televisions and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Electronics are collected at the city cleanup days with free categories and paid categories, and the city contractor also offers a paid curbside electronics pickup.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the published per item electronics fee at the city cleanup days for flat panel televisions and monitors, printers, scanners and fax machines, media players, stereos, speakers, blenders, fans and vacuums, with box or tube televisions and monitors at the higher published rate and computers, laptops, keyboards, mice, mobile devices, light strings and extension cords accepted free. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days, and Hennepin County households at the county drop-off facilities, where televisions, computer monitors and laptops carry their own per item charge and electronics are limited to five of the same type per year.
When & how
Bring electronics to a cleanup day before noon, to a county drop-off facility, or arrange the paid curbside electronics pickup with the city collection contractor.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the garbage cart and the recycling cart, and note that only small electric items without a mercury switch, such as toasters, coffee pots, fans and hairdryers, may go in the garbage. Box and tube televisions carry the highest cleanup fee, so separate them from the flat panels and computers before arriving.

Remodeling and construction debris

Accepted with preparation

Remodeling debris is accepted at the city cleanup days inside a priced load, with material in good condition set aside for salvage.

City cost & eligibility
From $25 for the published cleanup day load fees, which start with a back seat or car trunk load and rise for a minivan, a pickup bed, a trailer or cargo van and a box truck, with the same load fee applying whether or not material is salvaged. St. Louis Park residents at the city cleanup days, or the paid curbside pickup arranged with the city collection contractor for larger or ongoing project loads.
When & how
Bring the load to a cleanup day before noon, or schedule the contractor pickup, because construction material is not collected with the carts.
Get it ready
Separate material that could be salvaged or reused, such as lumber, trim, siding, countertops, cabinets, solid core doors, sinks, tubs and boxes of matching tile, from broken bulky furniture so the on site vendor can evaluate it quickly. Dirt, sod, rocks, concrete and tree debris are refused at the event, so those loads need another route.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise machines are not named on any list, so the piece is confirmed before it is loaded for a cleanup day.

City cost & eligibility
No published price covers an exercise machine because the cleanup and county lists name furniture, appliances and electronics instead, so call public works at 952.924.2562 and ask whether the machine can go into a cleanup day load or needs the contractor pickup.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then bring it to a cleanup day inside a load or schedule the contractor pickup.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, take off the loose weights and the console, and keep the pieces together so the load can be measured by vehicle size rather than by item count.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

How a cleanup day load is priced

The city holds a spring cleanup day and a fall cleanup day at the Municipal Service Center on Oxford Street, with the next event on Saturday, October 3 from 8 a.m. to noon. A bulky load costs more as the vehicle gets bigger, starting with a back seat or car trunk load and rising through a minivan, a pickup bed, a trailer or cargo van and a box truck, and separate per item fees apply to electronics, appliances, tires and mattresses.

The reuse routes before disposal

The city runs a free furniture and building materials reuse event with Edina and Hennepin County where items are vetted on site for quality and redistribution, and it keeps a reuse directory of local businesses that rent, repair or sell used goods alongside the county Choose to Reuse site. Items brought to the reuse event have to be clean and in good working condition with no rips, stains, strong odors or pet hair.

Where household chemicals and problem items go

Paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, bulbs, batteries, fuels, oil filters and sharps go to a Hennepin County drop-off facility in Brooklyn Park or Bloomington, or to a county collection event, with proof of residency and material in sealed containers of five gallons or less. The county publishes a charged list for tires, televisions, monitors, laptops, large appliances and mattresses, while medicines go to a pharmacy program, a county medicine drop box or the police department lobby at 3015 Raleigh Ave. S.

Paid curbside pickup of bulky trash and remodeling debris

A household with city collection that has bulky trash, electronics or remodeling debris and prefers not to haul it to a cleanup day.

Cost & conditions
The contractor sets its own price for a scheduled curbside pickup, and the city publishes the route rather than a rate, so confirm the load and the charge with the collection contractor before the pickup day.
Arrange it
Call the collection contractor the city names, describe the load, pay for the pickup and set the material out on the agreed date.

The pickup is separate from the quarterly cart rate and from the cleanup day load fees, and household hazardous waste still has to go to the county because it is refused at the cleanup events.

Open the city cleanup day page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A St. Louis Park household that hauls its own material has three gates. Bulky loads, electronics, appliances, tires and mattresses go to one of the two city cleanup days at the Municipal Service Center on Oxford Street, where the load is priced by vehicle size and each appliance, television, tire and mattress carries its own fee, or to the city collection contractor for a paid curbside pickup. Yard waste and brush go free to the city brush site on Cedar Lake Road from April into November with proof of residency. Household chemicals, paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, bulbs, batteries, fuels and sharps go to a Hennepin County drop-off facility in Brooklyn Park or Bloomington, or to a county collection event, in sealed containers of five gallons or less with proof of residency, and medicines go to a pharmacy program, a county medicine drop box or the police department lobby drop box on Raleigh Avenue South.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in St. Louis Park.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in St. Louis Park?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How do the city cleanup days work?

The city holds one in the spring and one in the fall at the Municipal Service Center on Oxford Street, and the next one is Saturday, October 3 from 8 a.m. to noon. Residents have to be in the queue before noon, pay by check, card or exact cash, and unload their own material.Official guidance

Can bulky trash be picked up at the house?

Yes, for households with city collection. The city directs residents to the collection contractor to pay for and schedule a curbside pickup of bulky trash and remodeling debris, which is a separate charge from the cleanup day load fees.Official guidance

What furniture does the cleanup day take?

Bulky trash such as unusable chairs, couches, tables, shelves, large children's toys, rugs, carpets and padding is accepted inside a load priced by vehicle size, and the same event evaluates remodeling material for possible salvage rather than sending everything to disposal.Official guidance

Can usable furniture be donated at the reuse event?

Yes. The city runs a free furniture and building materials reuse event with Edina and Hennepin County where items are vetted on site for quality and redistribution, and everything has to be clean and in good working condition with no rips, stains, strong odors or pet hair.Official guidance

How much does mattress disposal cost?

The city cleanup day publishes a per piece mattress and box spring fee, with each piece counted separately. Hennepin County also publishes a per item bedding fee at its Brooklyn Park facility, so the cheaper route depends on which event or site is open when the piece has to go.Official guidance

Will a mattress be collected with the carts?

No, not with the carts. St. Louis Park has two city routes for bedding: the cleanup day, where each piece carries its published fee, and a prepaid curbside pickup arranged with the city contractor on 952.226.6457 at a price the contractor sets. Neither is the ordinary cart collection, and a mattress will not fit in the cart with the lid closed. Hennepin County also takes bedding at its drop-off facility for its own per item fee.Official guidance

What does appliance recycling cost?

The city cleanup day publishes one flat per item fee for appliance and microwave recycling, and the list of covered units names air conditioners, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, dryers, freezers, furnaces, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, washers and water heaters among others. Hennepin County publishes its own per item large appliance fee.Official guidance

Can an appliance go with the scrap metal?

Scrap metal is free at the cleanup day for grills, shelving, cabinets, bed frames, gutters, fencing, mowers and similar items, but appliances are priced separately as appliance recycling and appliances holding refrigerant belong in that category rather than in the free scrap metal pile.Official guidance

What do electronics cost at the cleanup day?

Light strings, extension cords, desktop towers, laptops, keyboards, mice, cell phones, tablets and similar devices are free, while flat panel televisions and monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, media players, stereos, speakers, blenders, fans and vacuums carry one published fee and box or tube televisions and monitors carry a higher one.Official guidance

Can electronics be picked up at the house?

Yes, for a fee. The city points residents to the collection contractor for a curbside pickup of electronics for recycling, and the county route is the alternative for a household that prefers to drop the items off itself.Official guidance

Does the cleanup day salvage building material?

On site vendors evaluate whether remodeling material can be salvaged or reused during unloading, and the load fee still applies either way. Material that can be salvaged includes lumber, trim, siding, countertops, cabinets, solid core doors, sinks, tubs and boxes of matching tile.Official guidance

What construction material is refused?

Dirt, sod, rocks, concrete, yard waste and tree debris are refused at the cleanup day, along with household hazardous waste, light bulbs and batteries. The load has to come from a St. Louis Park residence and no business waste is accepted.Official guidance

Will the cleanup day take exercise equipment?

The published lists name bulky furniture, appliances, electronics, scrap metal, bicycles, tires, textiles and bedding rather than exercise machines, so call public works at 952.924.2562 before loading the piece and confirm whether it belongs in a cleanup load.Official guidance

How should a treadmill be set out for a load?

Fold or break the frame down, remove the loose weights and console, and keep the parts together. A cleanup load is priced by vehicle size rather than by piece, so a broken down machine measures more predictably at the gate.Official guidance

Who collects the trash in St. Louis Park?

The city collects garbage, recycling, organics and yard waste with its own carts and crews, and the quarterly solid waste rate depends on the size of the garbage cart. Large loads run through the city cleanup days or the city collection contractor instead of the carts.Official guidance
