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 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.

The handoff matters

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.

Request the city grapple truck

A household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that can be broken down to the city's bundle limits.

Cost & conditions
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 Solid Waste Department

Use the free drop a household gets once a month

A household that can load a clean residential load into a pickup truck or a trailer up to 10 feet long and would rather skip the pickup charge.

Cost & conditions
No charge. One residential load a month is free at the Roswell Municipal Landfill for a City water customer who brings a current bill dated within 30 days and identification; the load has to fit a pickup truck or a 10 foot trailer, and tires, construction material, shingles, e-waste and loads over 300 pounds are excluded.
Arrange it
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.

Open the landfill services page

City of Roswell Solid Waste Department

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.

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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Roswell?

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 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

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

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?
