When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

Fargo's bulky answer is a free self-haul programme plus an annual curbside event. The residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill takes furniture, large items, household garbage, metals, cardboard, automotive batteries and non Freon appliances at no charge from Fargo residents with proof of residency, Cleanup Week collects tires, appliances and other large items free on the recycling day in May, and the Solid Waste crews collect anything else by arrangement for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Fargo residents hauling their own material to the residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill, with proof of residency, and the annual Cleanup Week collection on the recycling day. Extra bags at the curb and a crew large item pickup are priced separately.
When & how
The transfer station runs with the landfill, Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cleanup Week items go on the boulevard before 7 a.m. on the recycling collection day during the May event, with collection from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Extra bags are scheduled on 701.241.1449.
Get it ready
Separate piles by type during Cleanup Week, keep household garbage four feet from the other piles, place garbage in disposable containers, remove refrigerator and freezer doors, and set items out no more than one day early because crews do not return for late piles. Everything has to come from a residence, and commercial waste and building materials are refused.
Garbage carts go to the end of the driveway, the alley or the boulevard by 8 a.m. on the collection day and come off the boulevard by 6 p.m. or after collection, whichever is later. Carts need five feet of space from every other object so the arm can grab them, and they never sit on top of a snowbank.
Cleanup Week piles are separated and set out on time
During Cleanup Week each material goes in its own pile, because separate trucks collect tires, appliances, furniture, brush and household garbage. Garbage goes in disposable containers, the piles go out before 7 a.m. on the recycling collection day and no more than one day early, household garbage stays at least four feet from everything else, and refrigerator and freezer doors come off before the appliance goes out.
The free transfer station trip needs proof of residency
The residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill is open to Fargo residents only, runs with the landfill from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and asks for proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill. Commercial waste, building materials and concrete are not accepted there even from a resident.
Electronics and hazardous waste stay out of every pile
The landfill and the garbage carts ban electronics and mercury containing devices, and Cleanup Week refuses electronics, paint, stains and varnish as well. Paint, thinners, cleaners, poisons, automotive fluids, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil belong at the household hazardous waste facility on 43 1/2 Street North, and one computer set and one television per resident a month go there too.
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.
A Fargo household with furniture, a large item, household garbage, metal, cardboard, automotive batteries or a non Freon appliance.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Fargo residents only, with proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill, at the residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill.
Arrange it
Drive to the landfill at 2301 8th Avenue North during landfill hours, Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., and take the load to building 4. The programme takes non Freon appliances up to two a month along with cardboard, automotive batteries, metals such as grills, shelving, lawn mowers, patio furniture, snow blowers and bed frames, household garbage, furniture and large items.
The transfer station is a Fargo resident programme and needs proof of residency. Non Freon appliances are capped at two a month, commercial waste is not accepted, building materials and concrete are not accepted, and electronics and hazardous waste are banned from the site.
A household that can wait for the annual May event to clear tires, appliances and other large items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Fargo residents on the city collection route, with the published limits of two appliances per household and up to four tires and rims per household. Piles staff judge excessive are charged.
Arrange it
Watch for the Cleanup Week dates, which in 2026 were the weeks of May 4 to 8 and May 11 to 15 and followed the A and B recycling calendar. Put the piles on the boulevard before 7 a.m. on the scheduled recycling collection day, separated by material type, and the city collects between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Building materials such as wood or concrete are not collected, electronics and household hazardous waste must not be set out, logs and brush are limited to 10 inches in diameter, and the event runs once a year rather than on demand.
A household that cannot haul the item itself and wants it collected from the property.
Cost & conditions
No rate is published for the service. The city states that the fee for a call-in large item pickup is based on the amount and weight and is added to the homeowner utility bill, so call 701.241.1449 for the current figure. Extra bags outside the cart are 3 dollars each for bags up to 33 gallons.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Department on 701.241.1449 to schedule the collection. The line is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday except legal holidays, and the charge lands on the utility account rather than being paid at the curb.
The service is for small amounts of building material, furniture, appliances and automotive parts rather than a whole house clearance, it has to be arranged in advance, and the household is billed for the weight collected. Apartment residents are told to ask the landlord about large item disposal instead.
A household with excess garbage or debris that does not fit the free transfer station programme.
Cost & conditions
From $15 per load for up to 600 pounds of debris at the city landfill scale, with the published 2026 rate table effective January 1 2026 and an additional 25 dollar charge at the scale operator discretion for a load that is not tarped or secured. Residents and businesses delivering waste the landfill accepts, paying by cash, cheque or credit card at the scale house. The landfill may not accept electronics, liquids, hazardous waste, lead, PCBs, manure, septic tank pumpings, infectious waste, mercury containing devices, concrete, tree stumps or roots.
Arrange it
Pull onto the scale at 2301 8th Avenue North, unload into a container on the asphalt surface, then pull back onto the scale and pay. The landfill opens Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., and item questions go to 701.282.2489.
A load has to be tarped or secured or it may be charged an extra fee, very windy conditions can turn away paper and lightweight loads, and the permit list of refused material is long enough that the landfill is the wrong destination for electronics, liquids, hazardous waste and concrete.
