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.

Bulk items and large piles

Accepted with preparation

Three bulk pieces go out with the weekly route all year, and larger piles move through the district collection or a paid pickup.

City cost & eligibility
From $150 for the starting price the city publishes for a Pick and Pay special bulk pickup, which covers a pile measuring twelve feet long by three feet high by three feet wide arranged through 311. Buffalo households whose owner-occupied one or two family property pays the residential user fee and is not owned by a company, limited liability company or corporation. The three weekly bulk pieces are included with the weekly service, while the Large Bulk collection follows the council district schedule and the Pick and Pay pickup is a paid arrangement.
When & how
Up to three bulk pieces go out on the regular collection day with the totes. A larger pile waits for the Large Bulk collection day for the council district and goes out the Sunday before the scheduled week, or is booked through 311 as a Pick and Pay pickup.
Get it ready
Keep each piece cohesive and no larger than twelve feet by three feet by three feet, because a dresser with the drawers left inside counts as one piece while the same dresser with the drawers removed counts as eight. Keep televisions, computers, construction debris, tires, paint and other hazardous material off the curb entirely, and keep bulky piles clear of the totes.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is named in the bulk examples, so a couch goes out with the weekly collection on the regular trash day.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture counts as one of the three bulk pieces included with the weekly service for an eligible owner-occupied property, and no separate charge is published for those pieces. A pile larger than the weekly allowance moves to the district Large Bulk collection or a paid Pick and Pay pickup.
When & how
Set the furniture out on the regular collection day with the totes, keeping it to one of the three weekly pieces.
Get it ready
Keep the piece cohesive, tape or bag any loose cushions and drawers so the piece stays one item, and keep carpet and padding to four foot sections. Furniture in good condition can be donated through the coalition of non profits the city names instead of going to the curb.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress or box spring is named as a bulk item and goes out with the weekly collection.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress or box spring counts as one of the three bulk pieces included with the weekly service for an eligible owner-occupied property, with no separate charge published for those pieces.
When & how
Put the mattress out on the regular collection day as one of the week's bulk pieces.
Get it ready
Count the mattress and the box spring as separate pieces when both go out, because each cohesive item is its own bulk piece. Keep the bedding dry, and keep it clear of the totes so the collection crew can reach both.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances such as refrigerators, stoves and microwaves ride the bulk collection, and they can also be dropped at the Seneca Street site.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance counts as one of the three bulk pieces included with the weekly service for an eligible owner-occupied property. The city also accepts appliances at its Seneca Street drop-off, so confirm whether a fee applies there before making the trip.
When & how
Put the appliance out as one of the three weekly bulk pieces on the regular collection day, or take it to the Seneca Street drop-off during posted hours.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it upright and clear of the totes, and confirm with 311 before setting out a cooling unit that still holds refrigerant.

Televisions and electronics

Not on the regular city route

Televisions and computers are banned at the curb and go to the Seneca Street drop-off instead.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the drop-off location, its hours and a five item annual limit for residents rather than a fee, so confirm any charge and the current arrangement with 311 before hauling a load.
When & how
Drop off on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or on the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., because electronics never go on the curb.
Get it ready
Keep televisions and computers out of the bulk pile and out of the totes, delete personal data before handover, and note the city limit of five items per year for residents. Senior citizens and disabled residents can call 311 to arrange a special pickup, and businesses are directed to a private electronics recycler.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction debris is refused at the curb, so a project load moves through a hauler or a paid arrangement.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not collect construction debris at the curb and publishes no construction rate. Owner-occupied properties may deliver up to one ton of waste a year to the East Side Transfer Station under the published residency conditions, a qualifying pile can be booked through 311 as a Pick and Pay pickup, and a renovation load otherwise goes to a private hauler or the contractor doing the work.
When & how
Arrange the route before the project starts, because construction material set out at the curb is refused and can draw a fine.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the bulk pile and the totes, separate recyclable metal and clean wood from mixed debris so a hauler can price the load, and remember that the transfer station allowance is capped at one ton a year for an owner-occupied property.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise machines are not named in the bulk examples, so the item is confirmed with the city before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
No published list names an exercise machine and no separate rate covers one, so call 311 and ask whether the machine can go out as one of the weekly bulk pieces before it reaches the curb.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then set it out as one of the three weekly bulk pieces if the city accepts it.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart and keep the pieces together so it can be presented as one cohesive bulk item, then confirm whether the separate pieces still count as a single item.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Three bulk pieces a week beside the tote

Eligible owner-occupied one and two family properties may put out three bulk pieces on the regular collection day all year, and each piece has to be one cohesive item no larger than twelve feet by three feet by three feet. A dresser with the drawers left inside is one piece, while the same dresser with the drawers removed counts as eight separate pieces against the weekly limit.

The district Large Bulk collection and Pick and Pay

A pile larger than the weekly allowance waits for the Large Bulk collection day designated for the council district, when material goes out the Sunday before the scheduled week and is collected some time that week, with the pile limited to four cubic yards. Residents can also book a special pickup through 311 as a Pick and Pay, which the city prices from a starting point for a pile measuring twelve feet long by three feet high by three feet wide.

Electronics and universal waste go to Seneca Street

Televisions and computers may not be placed out for curbside collection and instead go to 1120 Seneca Street, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a resident limit of five items a year. Fluorescent bulbs, rechargeable batteries and mercury items are also dropped there, and senior citizens and disabled residents may call 311 for a special pickup.

Residents have to show a driver's license and a utility bill as proof of residency.

What never goes to the curb

Televisions, computers, tires, construction debris, paint and other hazardous material may not be placed at the curb, and the city warns that breaking the curbside rules can lead to a fine.

City of Buffalo Department of Public Works, Streets and Sanitation

Book a Pick and Pay special bulk pickup

An eligible household with more bulk material than the three piece weekly allowance, or with a pile that missed the district Large Bulk collection.

Cost & conditions
From $150 for the starting price the city publishes for a special bulk pickup pile measuring twelve feet long by three feet high by three feet wide. Buffalo households whose owner-occupied one or two family property pays the residential user fee and is not owned by a company. The pickup is arranged through 311, and the price rises with the size of the pile.
Arrange it
Call 311, describe the pile, pay for the pickup and set the material out as directed for the scheduled collection.

The service covers bulk material rather than televisions, computers, tires, construction debris or hazardous waste, which all have their own routes.

Open the city streets and sanitation page

With a new purchase

Donate through the Western New York Coalition for Donated Goods

A household with clothing or household goods in reusable condition that would rather be donated than set out.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Donation rather than a disposal service, with the city naming the coalition of non profits that includes Goodwill, the Salvation Army, the Buffalo City Mission, AMVETS and Hearts for the Homeless. Each organisation sets its own acceptance rules.
Arrange it
Contact one of the coalition organisations, confirm what it accepts and its hours, and bring the donation in.

The organisations decide what they can take, so worn, stained or broken items still go out as bulk pieces rather than being accepted as a donation.

See the city reuse and donation page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A Buffalo household that hauls its own material uses three city routes. Electronics and universal waste go to 1120 Seneca Street on weekdays or the first Saturday of the month, with a five item yearly limit for residents and a special pickup arrangement through 311 for senior and disabled residents. Owner-occupied properties may take up to one ton of waste a year to the East Side Transfer Station on South Ogden Street during the posted weekday and Saturday hours with a driver's license and a utility bill as proof of residency. Tires go only to the special collection days, including the Broadway Garage at 197 Broadway, and household chemicals such as paint, oil, gas, pesticides and propane tanks wait for one of the two hazardous waste events the city holds each year, with 311 as the contact for dates.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Buffalo?

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 many bulk items can go out each week?

Three pieces per week, year round, on the regular collection day. The city works an example that a couch plus a four foot bundle of branches counts as two pieces, and the appliance paragraph on the same page says two pieces in one place, so the three piece rule is the one the program publishes twice.Official guidance

What counts as one bulk item?

An item too large for the tote that is also one cohesive piece no bigger than twelve feet by three feet by three feet. The city example is that a dresser with the drawers left in is one piece, while a dresser with seven drawers removed is eight separate pieces.Official guidance

How does a couch go out in Buffalo?

As one of the three weekly bulk pieces on the regular collection day. The city names furniture among the bulk examples and works an example where a couch and a bundle of branches are two pieces, so a couch is one item of the three the household may put out that week.Official guidance

How is carpet handled?

Carpet goes out in four foot sections as one of the bulk pieces, and the piece has to stay within the size limit that applies to every bulk item. Carpet left in longer rolls is at risk of being left behind.Official guidance

Will a mattress be collected at the curb?

Yes, as one of the three weekly bulk pieces on the regular collection day. The city names mattresses and box springs among the bulk examples, and the size limit of twelve feet by three feet by three feet is far larger than a mattress.Official guidance

Do the mattress and box spring count separately?

Each bulk item has to be one cohesive piece, so a mattress is one piece and its box spring is another, which uses two of the three pieces allowed that week.Official guidance

How do appliances go out?

As bulk pieces on the regular collection day, using part of the three piece weekly allowance. The city names refrigerators, microwaves and stoves in the bulk examples and also lists appliances such as refrigerators and stoves as acceptable at the Seneca Street drop-off.Official guidance

What should be done before an appliance goes out?

Empty the unit and keep it clear of the totes, and ask 311 about anything else the city expects before the collection, including how to handle a cooling unit that still holds refrigerant.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go?

To the city drop-off at 1120 Seneca Street, open weekdays and the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The city states plainly that televisions and computers may not be put out for curbside collection.Official guidance

Is there a limit on electronics drop-off?

Yes, five items per year for residents, and the service is for residents rather than businesses, which the city directs to a private electronics recycler. Senior citizens and disabled residents may call 311 to arrange a pickup instead of driving.Official guidance

Can construction debris go to the curb?

No. The city lists construction debris among the material that may not be placed at the curb, along with televisions, computers, tires, paint and other hazardous waste, and it warns that breaking the curbside rules can lead to a fine.Official guidance

What are the options for a project load?

An owner-occupied property may deliver up to one ton of waste a year to the East Side Transfer Station at 793 South Ogden Street with proof of residency, a qualifying pile can be booked through 311 as a paid Pick and Pay pickup, and the rest of a renovation load goes to a private hauler or the contractor.Official guidance

Will the city take exercise equipment?

The bulk examples name furniture, appliances, boxes of miscellaneous items, large toys, bundles of wood and brush, mattresses, box springs and carpet, but not exercise machines. Call 311 and describe the piece before setting it out.Official guidance

Could a machine count as one bulk piece?

Only if it is presented as one cohesive piece within the size limit. A machine taken apart into several loose parts risks being counted as several pieces against the three piece weekly allowance, so ask 311 how the crew will count it.Official guidance

Who collects the trash in Buffalo?

The city sanitation department collects municipal solid waste from tens of thousands of weekly locations and administers the residential user fee and tote distribution, while a contractor collects recyclables weekly. The streets department manages the spring and fall bulk collections.Official guidance

Who is eligible for the bulk allowance?
