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 weekly collection

Accepted with preparation

Weekly garbage, bulk and yard waste run together under the city Waste Pro contract, recycling runs every other week, and a large load the city will not take goes to a county site.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city describes weekly garbage, bulk and yard waste as one service under its Waste Pro contract and publishes no separate bulk charge, with appliances named as eligible with no additional fee. A bulk item placed outside the allowed set out window can draw a 100.00 dollar solid waste fine.
When & how
Carts go to the curb no more than four feet from the curbside by 7 a.m. on the service day, bulk items go out after 5 p.m. the day before and by 7 a.m., and yard waste is collected once a week on the same day as garbage.
Get it ready
Bag all garbage in the green cart, never bag recyclables in the black cart, keep a two foot space between the carts and any obstruction with the wheels facing the home, remove the carts by 7 p.m. on the service day, and keep grass clippings, yard waste, medical waste, construction and building materials, auto parts, electronics and hazardous waste out of the garbage cart.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulk items go out the night before, never earlier

Bulk items may go to the curb any time after 5 p.m. the day before the normal trash pickup day as long as they are out by 7 a.m., an item placed outside that window is subject to a solid waste fine, and a bulk item has to sit at least 2 feet from the trash and recycling carts.

Cart and separation rules

Carts go no more than four feet from the curbside by 7 a.m. on the service day and come back in by 7 p.m. the same day, with a two foot space between the carts and any obstruction and the wheels facing the home. Garbage is bagged, recyclables are never bagged, and grass clippings, yard waste, medical waste, construction and building materials, auto parts, electronics and hazardous waste stay out of the garbage cart.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Monroe.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Monroe?

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.

What does the Monroe weekly collection take?

The city contracts with Waste Pro for weekly garbage, bulk and yard waste service and collects recycling every other week, providing one green 96 gallon garbage cart and one black 96 gallon recycling cart per household. Carts go out by 7 a.m. and come in by 7 p.m. on the service day, garbage is bagged and recyclables are not, and bulky items such as furniture and appliances go out with the bulk collection in the same weekly window.Official guidance
