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.

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