Couch & furniture removal in Roswell

City collection Furniture is too large for the roll-out and the shared alley container, so it leaves on the grapple truck list or in a self-hauled load. The call-in request, the bundle size limits and the set-out location all apply, and a piece that still holds cushions or drawers should be emptied before it goes out. From $37.27 per grapple truck bulk collection, billed by load size at a quarter truckload or less, with half a truckload listed at $78.88 and a full truckload at $149.12, and the same sheet printing tax-inclusive totals of $39.13, $82.82 and $156.58. City of Roswell residential accounts billed on the monthly City water bill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; a couch can also be hauled to the landfill yourself, where a residential load pays the scale minimum unless it is the free drop a household gets once a month with a current water bill.

Choose your mattress size. Add the box spring and frame separately if they are going too.

Mattress & bed removal in Roswell

City collection No Roswell page names mattresses, and the ordinance that governs bulky material requires it to be broken down into tied bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, which a mattress cannot be. Ask the department before setting one out, or take it to the landfill yourself, where a residential load carries the scale charge or the once-a-month waiver. Neither the city's collection pages nor its fee sheet publish a mattress route or a mattress price. A mattress cannot meet the four foot and 50 pound bundle rule the ordinance sets for bulky waste, so confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 whether one will be collected at the curb, and expect either a grapple truck load charge or a scale charge if you haul it to the landfill yourself.

Appliance pickup

$109 first / $59 additionalRefrigerator

Household refrigerators, washers and dryers. Have your appliance disconnected and outside.

Appliance pickup in Roswell

City collection Washers, dryers, water heaters and refrigerators are all large items, so they are refused in the roll-out and the alley container and leave either on the grapple truck list or in a self-hauled load. The landfill prices refrigerators on their own line and requires the unit to be empty, and the once-a-month free residential drop does not cover heavy loads. The city bills grapple truck collection by truckload and the landfill bills by weight with a separate unit charge for refrigerators, so the total depends on how the appliance leaves the property. Call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 to confirm the current amounts before an appliance goes out, and note that the once-a-month free residential drop excludes heavy loads over 300 pounds.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Roswell runs its own residential program: free 90-gallon roll-outs where there is curbside service, shared alley containers for up to four households, and twice-weekly collection by half of the city. The monthly charge sits on the City water bill. Anything too large for a container leaves on the grapple truck, which the department now runs from a call-in list because of staffing limits, and the city bills that collection by how full the truck is. A mattress cannot be broken down to the size the ordinance sets for bulky material, electronics have no designated landfill drop-off, and the landfill's fee sheet prices tires, e-waste and refrigerators on their own lines, so those items each carry their own route instead of a container answer.

Bulky trash and the grapple truck

Accepted with preparation

Anything too large for the 90-gallon roll-out or the shared alley container waits for the grapple truck, which the department now runs from a call-in list because of staffing limits. The load has to be broken down and tied to the city's bundle limits, nested and placed behind the property line rather than beside a container, and the city bills the collection by how full the truck is.

City cost & eligibility
From $37.27 per grapple truck bulk collection, billed by load size at a quarter truckload or less, with half a truckload listed at $78.88 and a full truckload at $149.12, and the same sheet printing tax-inclusive totals of $39.13, $82.82 and $156.58. City of Roswell residential accounts, charged with the rest of the service on the monthly City water bill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; a household can avoid the collection charge by hauling a clean residential load to the landfill itself, where one drop a month is free with a current water bill.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746, or leave your name, phone number and the exact address if nobody picks up, and the grapple trucks work the list on Wednesdays and Saturdays as staffing and time allow. A request may not be collected the same week it is made, so put the load out and leave it there.
Get it ready
Break the material down and tie it securely into bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, nest smaller boxes inside larger ones instead of leaving them loose, bag grass clippings and weeds in tied bags or taped boxes, and set everything just outside the rear fence at least 12 inches clear of it, or along the alley where the property is unfenced. Keep the load off gas meters, utility lines, poles and manhole covers.

Couches, chairs and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is too large for the roll-out and the shared alley container, so it leaves on the grapple truck list or in a self-hauled load. The call-in request, the bundle size limits and the set-out location all apply, and a piece that still holds cushions or drawers should be emptied before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
From $37.27 per grapple truck bulk collection, billed by load size at a quarter truckload or less, with half a truckload listed at $78.88 and a full truckload at $149.12, and the same sheet printing tax-inclusive totals of $39.13, $82.82 and $156.58.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

No Roswell page names mattresses, and the ordinance that governs bulky material requires it to be broken down into tied bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, which a mattress cannot be. Ask the department before setting one out, or take it to the landfill yourself, where a residential load carries the scale charge or the once-a-month waiver.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the city's collection pages nor its fee sheet publish a mattress route or a mattress price. A mattress cannot meet the four foot and 50 pound bundle rule the ordinance sets for bulky waste, so confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 whether one will be collected at the curb, and expect either a grapple truck load charge or a scale charge if you haul it to the landfill yourself.
When & how
Call 575-624-6746 first and describe the mattress or box spring. If the department will not take it at the curb, load it yourself and check in at the scale house at 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, during open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of every container, because large items are refused in the roll-out and the shared alley bin, and ask about wrapping when you call. Bring a current City water bill dated within 30 days and identification if the load is going through the once-a-month free residential drop.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

Washers, dryers, water heaters and refrigerators are all large items, so they are refused in the roll-out and the alley container and leave either on the grapple truck list or in a self-hauled load. The landfill prices refrigerators on their own line and requires the unit to be empty, and the once-a-month free residential drop does not cover heavy loads.

City cost & eligibility
The city bills grapple truck collection by truckload and the landfill bills by weight with a separate unit charge for refrigerators, so the total depends on how the appliance leaves the property. Call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 to confirm the current amounts before an appliance goes out, and note that the once-a-month free residential drop excludes heavy loads over 300 pounds.
When & how
Call 575-624-6746 to add the appliance to the grapple truck list, or load it and go to the Roswell Municipal Landfill at 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, and check in at the scale house. Refrigerators have to arrive empty.
Get it ready
Empty the refrigerator and freezer completely and tape the doors shut for the trip, and ask about door removal, because the fee sheet waives the unit evacuation charge on a refrigerator that arrives with the door off. Never put an appliance in the roll-out or the alley container.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Special rules apply

The city keeps electronics out of the containers and sends them to private businesses instead. The recycling page states plainly that the landfill has no designated electronics drop-off program, while the current fee sheet still prices televisions, printers and hard drives on its e-waste line, so the safe move is to call before anything is loaded.

City cost & eligibility
No private recycler publishes a rate for what it takes and the city publishes no flat price for a single television or computer, so confirm acceptance and cost with the business you pick, or with the landfill scale house on 575-624-6746 if you plan to tip a television, printer or hard drive there. E-waste is excluded from the once-a-month free residential drop.
When & how
Call the recycler you choose, or the landfill on 575-624-6746, before loading a television, monitor or computer, then deliver it during that business's own hours and keep it out of both curbside and alley containers until then.
Get it ready
Wipe the personal information off phones, computers and smart televisions before anything changes hands, keep remotes and cables with the device they belong to, and tape or bag loose batteries so they cannot short in transport.

Construction, remodeling and clean fill

Special rules apply

Construction and remodeling debris is refused in the roll-out and the shared alley container. City ordinance makes contractors, remodelers, landscapers and tree trimmers responsible for taking their own job waste to the landfill and asks homeowners to confirm it was done, so the practical route for a household doing its own work is a self-hauled load priced by material at the scale.

City cost & eligibility
From $19.91 per ton of clean fill such as concrete, brick, asphalt and rock that meets state clean fill standards, with mixed loads listed at $54.15 per ton, asphalt roofing shingles and large tree trunks at $31.14 per ton and a residential flat rate of $9.81 for the first 300 pounds on the same sheet. Self-hauled loads at the Roswell Municipal Landfill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; construction material and shingles are excluded from the once-a-month free residential drop, and concrete with rebar is accepted only while the load stays in clean fill form with no wood, paper or other biodegradable material mixed in.
When & how
Load the material, tarp it as the landfill requires, and take it to 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, during open hours from Monday to Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. or on Saturday between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., stopping at the scale house on the way in.
Get it ready
Separate clean concrete, brick, asphalt and rock from mixed debris so the load can be billed at the clean fill rate, keep wood, paper and other biodegradable material out of a clean fill load, break pieces down so they fit a pickup bed or a trailer, and tarp the load before you drive.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

No Roswell page names exercise equipment, and the bundle limits the city sets for bulky material are firm at four feet and 50 pounds. A treadmill or a weight machine has to be broken down to fit that rule before it can join the grapple truck list, so the department should be asked before a frame that cannot be reduced is set out.

City cost & eligibility
From $37.27 per grapple truck bulk collection, billed by load size at a quarter truckload or less, with half a truckload listed at $78.88 and a full truckload at $149.12, and the same sheet printing tax-inclusive totals of $39.13, $82.82 and $156.58. City of Roswell residential accounts billed on the monthly City water bill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the load has to meet the ordinance bundle limits, so confirm on 575-624-6746 that your broken-down machine will be collected before it goes out.
When & how
Call 575-624-6746 to add the equipment to the grapple truck list, describe what the machine breaks down into, and set it out behind your own property line for the Wednesday or Saturday run.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart as far as it will go, tie or tape the pieces into bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, remove the loose weights and accessories, and keep everything off the alley path, utility lines and manhole covers.

Tires

Accepted with preparation

Tires have their own rule, their own charge and one route. They are refused in every container and are not left for the grapple truck; the city sends them to the Roswell Municipal Landfill, where the scale prices them by tire size and a manifest is required once a truckload passes ten tires.

City cost & eligibility
From $10.38 per passenger tire at the scale, with semi-truck tires listed at $31.14 each, large tires at $0.18 per pound, tires with rims at $51.90 each, bulk tires at $364.64 per ton and contaminated tires at $730.17 per ton on the same sheet. Delivered to the Roswell Municipal Landfill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; more than 10 tires in a truckload needs a tire manifest, and tires are excluded from the once-a-month free residential drop.
When & how
Take the tires to 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, during open hours and check in at the scale house. Ask about the manifest before you load if you have more than ten.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of every container and off the bulk pile, stack them so they cannot roll into the alley or street while they wait, and ask whether the rims stay on before loading, because a tire with a rim is priced differently from a bare one.

Paint, oil and household chemicals

Special rules apply

The city's two pages disagree about household chemicals, so this one is not a straightforward drop. The landfill lists paint, motor oil and highly flammable or toxic substances as prohibited and takes no commercial hazardous material or bulk liquids, while the department page says labeled flammable material is accepted at the landfill free of charge. One household stream does have a named outlet, because the landfill sends used motor oil to a quick lube shop on North Main Street.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for household chemicals and the landfill does not clearly take them, so call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 before loading paint, solvents or unknown containers. The fluorescent bulb outlet the city names is a private business that charges its own fee, and no free municipal household hazardous waste event is listed.
When & how
Take used motor oil to Jiffy Lube at 2613 N. Main St. and fluorescent bulbs to J&G Electric at 512 S. Main St., both during their own business hours, and call the department on 575-624-6746 before bringing paint or mixed chemicals anywhere.
Get it ready
Keep every product in its original labeled container and never mix chemicals, keep liquids upright and sealed and transport leaking containers inside a larger pail, and never pour oil, gasoline or paint into a container, an alley or a storm drain.

Right item.
Right place.

Containers out before 5 a.m.

Curbside roll-outs go to the curb or the front of the driveway before 5 a.m. on the pickup day and no more than 12 hours early, facing the street and clear of obstacles. Alley containers are shared by up to four households, face the inside of the alley, have to stay upright, and may only be moved by a sanitation worker. Anything left beside a container stays there unless it is on the grapple truck list.

What never goes in a Roswell container

Flammable liquids, construction debris, large items and dirt are refused in every container, waste has to be bagged, and paint only goes in after it has been treated with a paint hardener. A box larger than three feet by three feet has to be cut down first, and tires are never placed in a container because the city sends them to the landfill instead.

Contractor waste belongs to the contractor

City ordinance makes contractors, remodelers, landscapers and tree trimmers responsible for taking their job waste to the landfill, and homeowners are expected to confirm that the hired contractor handled it. Waste material may not be left in an alley or on a vacant lot, and the illegal dumping page shows what the city does about loads that are dumped.

Load the truck or trailer, tarp it, bring the current water bill and identification, and check in at the scale house at 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, during open hours.

The waiver is once a month and the exclusions are firm, so a refrigerator, a load of shingles, a box of televisions or a pile of tires is billed at the scale rates instead.

Haul the load to the scale yourself

A household with a mixed or oversized load that falls outside the free waiver, including construction material, shingles, tires or an appliance.

Cost & conditions
From $9.81 for the residential flat rate for the first 300 pounds of a tipped load, with additional weight at $54.15 per ton and clean fill, asphalt shingles, tires, e-waste and refrigerators billed on their own lines of the same sheet. Residential and county loads tipped at the Roswell Municipal Landfill under the sheet effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the once-a-month waiver does not cover tires, construction material, shingles, e-waste or heavy loads over 300 pounds.
Arrange it
Tarp the load, drive to 3006 W Brasher Road, Roswell, during open hours, and stop at the scale house so the load can be weighed and billed.

No commercial hazardous material or bulk liquids are accepted, chemicals from business and industrial customers are refused, and nothing should arrive untarped.

Take electronics to a private drop-off

A household with a television, a computer or small electronics and no curbside option, because the city has no designated electronics program at the landfill.

Cost & conditions
The local repair shops and the Target store publish no rates for what they accept and the city publishes no flat electronics price of its own, so call ahead to confirm what each business is taking right now and whether there is a charge.
Arrange it
Call Roswell Phone and Computer Repair at 3110 N. Main St., Oasis Computers at 1703 N. Garden Ave., or the Target service desk at 2725 N. Main St., then wipe the personal data off anything with a drive before it leaves the house.

These are private businesses rather than a municipal service, the city lists no hours or rates for them, and Target asks for a call ahead on large quantities.

Drop metal at the city's recycling outlet

A household with scrap metal, a stripped appliance or leftover metal from a remodel that can leave the property separately from the rest of the load.

Cost & conditions
Roswell Recycling Center is a private metal recycler, and the city publishes no rate for what it pays or charges, so confirm the terms by phone before loading metal or an appliance that still holds refrigerant.
Arrange it
Take the metal to Roswell Recycling Center at 1900 E. Poe St., Roswell, during the business's own hours, and keep refrigerant-bearing appliances out of the load until the refrigerant has been handled.

The city lists the outlet and the address but no hours, no accepted list and no price, so nothing about the trip should be assumed from the city page alone.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Roswell households do most of their own hauling to the Roswell Municipal Landfill at 3006 W Brasher Road, which serves Roswell and Chaves County and charges by weight and material at the scale, with one residential load a month waived for a water customer who brings a current bill and identification. The same site runs free recycling containers for cardboard, aluminum cans and tin cans, checked in at the weight station, and it takes tires, e-waste and refrigerators on their own fee lines, so those loads have to be kept separate from the free drop. For metal, the city names Roswell Recycling Center on East Poe Street, which also buys the cans collected at the landfill. Electronics go to Roswell Phone and Computer Repair on North Main Street, Oasis Computers on North Garden Avenue or the Target store on North Main Street, because the landfill has no designated electronics drop-off program, and small batteries, glass, plastic bags and cellphones are accepted at that same store while lithium batteries wait at The Home Depot. Fluorescent bulbs go to J&G Electric on South Main Street for a fee, used motor oil goes to the quick lube shop the landfill names on North Main Street, and plastic bags can go back to Albertsons Market. Everything should be tarped on the way in, and nothing on the landfill's prohibited list, including commercial hazardous material and bulk liquids, should be loaded at all.

The metal outlet the city names for the public

Roswell Recycling Center (listed by the city as Roswell Recycle)

1900 E. Poe St., Roswell, New Mexico

Unused metal and metal recyclables from the public, and the city's aluminum cans from the landfill containers

A private recycler rather than a city site, so its accepted list, hours and terms govern. The city publishes no hours, no rate and no exclusions for it, and appliances that still hold refrigerant should be handled for the refrigerant before they arrive.

No hours are published for this private site.

The city lists the outlet but no rate, so confirm with the business whether it pays for the metal, takes it free or charges, and what it will not accept.

No hours are published for this retail store.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

How do I get a large item picked up in Roswell?

Call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 with your name, phone number and the address where the item sits, or leave those details if nobody answers. The department works from that list and sends the grapple truck on Wednesdays and Saturdays as staffing allows, so the pickup may not happen the same week you call.Official guidance

Do bulk items have to be bundled in Roswell?

Yes. City ordinance requires bulky waste to be compressed or broken down into securely tied bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, boxes that are not broken down have to be nested with smaller ones inside larger ones, and the bundles cannot hold loose material.Official guidance

Is there a charge for bulk collection in Roswell?

The city prices grapple truck collection by how full the truck is, at a quarter truckload, half a truckload or a full truckload, and the amount rides on the monthly City water bill with the rest of the residential service. Confirm the current figure on 575-624-6746 when you request the pickup.Official guidance

Where do bulk items go in Roswell?

Just outside the rear residential fence and at least 12 inches away from it, or along the alley where the property has no fence, and always behind your own property line instead of next to the container. Keep the load clear of fences, gas meters, utility lines, poles and manhole covers.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a couch in Roswell?

Call the Solid Waste Department on 575-624-6746 and leave your name, phone number and address, because a couch is too large for the trash containers and leaves on the grapple truck list. The city charges that collection by truckload, and the same piece can go to the landfill instead, where one residential drop a month is free with a current water bill.Official guidance

Can a mattress go out with the trash in Roswell?

Not in the containers. A mattress is too large for the roll-out and the shared alley bin, the city ordinance requires bulky waste to be broken down into tied bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, and no city page lists mattresses as a grapple truck item, so call 575-624-6746 before setting one out or take it to the landfill yourself.Official guidance

Where do appliances go in Roswell?

They leave on the grapple truck list or in a self-hauled load rather than in the trash containers. Call 575-624-6746 to arrange the pickup, or take the appliance to the Roswell Municipal Landfill, where a refrigerator has to be empty, the fee sheet charges a unit charge for refrigerant evacuation, and a door removed before the load reaches the scale avoids that charge.Official guidance

Where can I take a TV or computer in Roswell?

To Roswell Phone and Computer Repair at 3110 N. Main St., Oasis Computers at 1703 N. Garden Ave., or the Target service desk at 2725 N. Main St. for smaller items such as cellphones. The landfill states that it has no designated electronics drop-off program, and the city asks you to wipe personal data and confirm with each business what it currently takes.Official guidance

Who runs trash collection in Roswell?

The City of Roswell Solid Waste Department does, with free curbside roll-outs where there is curbside service and shared alley containers for up to four households where there is not. The department also runs the municipal landfill and answers program questions on 575-624-6746.Official guidance

Which days is my trash collected in Roswell?

Collection runs twice a week by half of the city: Monday and Thursday for addresses south of Alameda Street, including the RIAC, and Tuesday and Friday for addresses north of Alameda Street. Curbside containers go out before 5 a.m. and alley containers take the last bag by the same time.Official guidance

How is residential trash service billed in Roswell?

The household charge is added to the monthly City water bill, and grapple truck bulk collection is billed on the same bill by how full the truck is. The current amounts sit on the city's fee pages, and the department can confirm them on 575-624-6746 before anything large is set out.Official guidance

Which holidays change trash or landfill hours in Roswell?

The landfill closes for New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Sanitation still collects the day after Thanksgiving, and the city posts route changes for the other holidays on its Facebook page.Official guidance

How can I drop off trash free in Roswell?

Bring one pickup truckload or a trailer load of household trash to the Roswell Municipal Landfill at 3006 W Brasher Road once a month, with a current City water bill dated within 30 days and identification. The load has to fit a pickup or a trailer up to 10 feet, and tires, construction material, shingles, e-waste and loads over 300 pounds are not covered.Official guidance

Who can move an alley container in Roswell?

Only a sanitation worker. Alley containers are shared by up to four households, two on each side, they have to face the inside of the alley and stay upright, and residents are asked not to move them. Anything too large for the shared bin has to go on the grapple truck list instead.Official guidance
