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.

Contractor spoils are refused on the city pickup and have to go to the authority instead, where construction debris is a priced category that is weighed at the scale along with the rest of the load.
City cost & eligibility
From $8 for the minimum charge per load at the authority's Ivy center, which covers weights up to 200 pounds, on construction debris priced per ton at the published fiscal year 2027 rate. Customers delivering to the Ivy Solid Waste and Recycling Center. The minimum load charge is 8 dollars plus a 1 dollar service fee for Albemarle County customers or a 10 dollar service fee for other customers, and the service fee is applied once per trip even with multiple materials.
When & how
Construction material has no curbside day. It goes to Ivy, which opens Monday through Saturday from 7:30 am to 4 pm, and the load is weighed at the scale.
Get it ready
Keep contractor spoils and construction material out of the city large item pickup entirely, because it is refused there, and separate the load before the trip so the scale can price it correctly. Hazardous products never travel with the debris and wait for a household hazardous waste collection day instead.
Automotive parts, chemicals and contractor spoils are refused
The city large item pickup will not take automotive parts, hazardous waste or contractor spoils, and it sends that material to the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority's Ivy center instead. Household chemicals such as paint, solvents, gasoline, kerosene, cleaners, pesticides, fluorescent tubes and CFLs wait for one of the authority's free collection days, and lithium batteries are accepted year round at Ivy.
Recycling is free with the trash account and runs every other week
Curbside recycling is free to customers who also use the city trash service, the city supplies the rolling cart, and collection runs every other week on the same day as trash. Carts come in three sizes with 95 gallon as the default and can be requested, exchanged or returned through the city's online form, and the authority's McIntire center takes extra source separated material.
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 the load to the authority's Ivy center
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, construction debris, tires or a load too large for a purchased pickup.
Cost & conditions
From $8 for the minimum charge per load at the Ivy Solid Waste and Recycling Center, which covers weights of 200 pounds or less, with heavier loads charged the published per ton rate for the material under the authority schedule effective July 1, 2026, which its accepted items page prints differently, so the scale house applies the schedule in force on the day of the trip. Customers delivering to Ivy during its Monday through Saturday 7:30 am to 4 pm hours. The minimum is 8 dollars plus a 1 dollar service fee for Albemarle County customers or a 10 dollar service fee for other customers, charged once per trip, and an appliance containing Freon adds 17 dollars per unit.
Arrange it
Drive the separated load to 4576 Dick Woods Road in Charlottesville and check in at the scale house, which also sells the tag a bag stickers.
Construction debris and household waste are priced by the ton, Freon appliances carry a per unit charge, and tires are priced by tire with different rates for Albemarle County and City of Charlottesville customers, while the authority also runs a free bi-annual Tire Collection Event at Ivy, posted for October 10, 2026, that takes up to twelve household tires per household and refuses commercial truck tires. Hazardous material is not accepted at the scale and waits for a collection day instead.

Wait for an authority household hazardous waste day
A household with paint, solvents, adhesives, gasoline, kerosene, cleaners, furniture polish, pesticides, acids, antifreeze, motor oil, fluorescent tubes, CFLs, thermostats, batteries or small electronics such as cameras and phones.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Charlottesville households. The city states that the authority periodically provides the collection free of charge for city residents, and the authority describes the service as free to residents; commercial participation is prohibited at these residential collection days, and a business instead registers for a separate commercial event that carries a disposal fee.
Arrange it
Hold the material until the next scheduled collection at the Ivy Materials Utilization Center, and watch the authority's collection page for the date. Lithium batteries do not have to wait, because Ivy takes them year round.
The collection runs on periodic days rather than continuously, so the material is stored at home until then, and a business registers separately for the commercial event, where it confirms the qualifying criteria and pays the disposal fee. Small electronics such as digital cameras, cellphones and music players appear on the collection day list, but televisions and computers are not named.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Charlottesville.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Charlottesville?+
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 Charlottesville?+
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.
Where does construction debris go in Charlottesville?+
To the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority's Ivy center, because the city's large item pickup refuses contractor spoils. Construction debris is a priced category there, weighed at the scale with a minimum charge of 8 dollars per load covering weights up to 200 pounds plus a service fee of 1 dollar for Albemarle County customers or 10 dollars for other customers, and the service fee is charged once per trip.Official guidance
