City collection Furniture leaves on a large or special item pickup arranged with the private hauler that serves the address, and the community guide also lists donation options for pieces that are still usable. Grand Island publishes no curbside or bulky item rate because the collection comes from private haulers, so call the hauler you use and ask for the special item charge before the piece goes out.
City collection No Grand Island page names a mattress route, so a set has to be confirmed with the hauler or the transfer station before it goes out. No mattress rate is published by the city, the transfer station or the haulers, so call the hauler serving the address or the transfer station at (308) 385-5433 and confirm the route and the charge.
City collection Appliances follow the hauler's special item pickup or one of the appliance outlets the community guide lists, and large appliances are refused at the household hazardous waste facility. No appliance rate is published, and the guide partners each set their own terms, so call the hauler or the outlet you plan to use and confirm the charge and the accepted unit first.
City collection Weekly refuse and recycling come from the private hauler the household chooses, yard waste runs April through November, and anything larger is a special item pickup or a drop-off. The city publishes no collection rate because the service comes from private haulers, so ask your hauler what weekly service and a special item pickup cost.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Grand Island runs on private haulers rather than a city collection route: the city Public Works Department maintains the landfill and the transfer station, while Mid-Nebraska Disposal and Heartland Disposal provide the curb-side pickup of refuse and recyclables, with multi-material recycling drop-off sites around the city. Large household items follow the same hauler route or a drop-off, household chemicals, televisions and electronics go to the Grand Island Area Clean Community System at 3661 Sky Park Rd 2B, and the annual Community Recycling Guide lists the local partners for items such as appliances, tires, scrap metal, construction material and furniture donations.
