Wrap up your renovation by leaving old doors, toilets and bathroom vanities at the curb for pickup. Get an exact item price, updates and completion photos. Mixed rubble and loose building materials are not accepted.
Already detached and outside. Ready for loading and haul-away.
The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Show the outdoor handoff
Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Building and roofing material belong at the transfer station, one trip a month and up to a thousand pounds, with a hard hat and vest on.
City cost & eligibility
The transfer station lists building materials and roofing materials as accepted and allows one trip a month up to 1,000 pounds, but it publishes no fee of its own, and the citywide cleanup advertises free transfer station access for two weeks in April, which reads as a waived charge rather than a permanently free service. Confirm the current gate cost on 409-741-1258 before the trip.
When & how
Take the load to 5515 Harborside Drive between 7:00 AM and 4:45 PM Monday to Friday or 7:00 AM and 11:45 AM on Saturday, once a month at most.
Get it ready
Bring a current water bill and proper identification, wear a hard hat and vest because both are required on site and the BFI landfill sells them if you do not have them, and keep concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon, tires and combustible material out of the load entirely.
Galveston splits its collection week by area: Monday serves the west end of the island to 7 1/2 Mile Road, Tuesday runs from 7 1/2 Mile Road to the east side of 51st Street, Wednesday covers the west side of 51st Street to the east side of 31st Street, and Thursday runs from the west side of 31st Street to the East End. Carts and materials need to be at the curb no later than 7 AM on the collection day, the cart may go out no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, and it comes back to its storage space by 10 p.m. on the day of pickup. Questions and cart requests go to Sanitation on 409-797-3630.
The transfer station and the recycle center take what the truck will not
The transfer station at 5515 Harborside Drive is where building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit the garbage cart go, one trip a month with up to 1,000 pounds, a current water bill and proper identification, and a hard hat and vest worn on site, which the BFI landfill sells if needed. It runs Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:45 AM, and it refuses combustible materials, compressed aerosol cans that are not empty, concrete, freon, gasoline, kerosene, paint and tires. The recycle center at 702 61st Street takes recyclables around the clock with staff from 8 AM to 4:45 PM, and it takes tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency along with cooking oils and grease. Each April the city adds free bulk pickup by area, free transfer station access from April 15 to 30, a shred day on April 18 and an oil and tire drop-off on April 18 and April 25 with up to five tires per household.
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.

Haul a load to the Harborside Drive transfer station
A Galveston household with building materials, roofing materials or items too large for the garbage cart that the weekly truck will not take.
Cost & conditions
The station page publishes the allowance and the accepted list but no fee, and the citywide cleanup advertises free transfer station access in April, so call 409-741-1258 to confirm the current cost before the trip.
Arrange it
Go to 5515 Harborside Drive on a Monday to Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:45 PM or a Saturday between 7:00 AM and 11:45 AM with a current water bill, proper identification and a hard hat and vest.
One trip a month and up to 1,000 pounds, with combustible material, non-empty aerosol cans, concrete, freon, gasoline, kerosene, paint and tires all refused.
Arrange a private hauler for what the city will not take
A household with concrete, tires, paint, kerosene, gasoline or a load above the monthly transfer station allowance.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no private hauling rate, and the refused materials are exactly the ones a hauler has to take, so ask for a quote and confirm the destination before the load leaves the property.
Arrange it
Book a licensed hauler directly, or ask Sanitation on 409-797-3630 where the refused material is supposed to go before arranging the pickup.
Nothing about a hauler load changes the transfer station's refusal of concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon and tires, and the load still has to reach a permitted site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Galveston.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Galveston?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Galveston?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Can construction material go to the Galveston transfer station?+
Yes, building materials and roofing materials are on the accepted list. Residents may make one trip a month and leave up to 1,000 pounds at 5515 Harborside Drive, Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM or Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:45 AM, with a current water bill and proper identification and a hard hat and vest on site. Concrete is refused, so masonry has to find another route, and the station publishes no fee of its own, so confirm the cost at the gate.Official guidance
What can I take to the transfer station?+
Building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit in the garbage cart, which covers most of what a cleanout produces. The limits are one trip per month and up to 1,000 pounds, with a current water bill and proper identification, and a hard hat and vest are required on site and sold at the BFI landfill if you do not have them. Concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon, tires, combustible material and non-empty aerosol cans are refused.Official guidance
Where do tires and used oil go?+
To the recycle center at 702 61st Street rather than the transfer station, which refuses tires. The center accepts tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency such as a driver's licence, along with cooking oils and grease, and it is open 24 hours a day with staff from 8 AM to 4:45 PM on 409-797-3958. During the spring cleanup the oil and tire drop-off takes up to five tires per household with used motor oil, antifreeze or cooking oil in sealed containers.Official guidance
