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.

Reviewed · Sources below

Bulky household items

Accepted with preparation

The city runs an on-call bulky item service, so a couch, mattress, appliance, carpet roll or set of tires is collected at the address instead of going in the cart.

City cost & eligibility
$37 for the first bulky item in a city pickup, with 15 dollars for each additional item. Available to City of Olympia garbage customers, with the charge added to the regular utility bill after the pickup is arranged at 360.753.8368 option 2. Taxes are added to the published rate.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 before the items go out, and keep the load in a spot the collection crew can reach.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items out of dumpsters and waste enclosures, because they fill containers and damage compactors. The published list covers mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, washers and dryers, microwaves, non-refrigerated appliances, carpet rolls and tires and rims, while refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, cement, long pipe, dirt, brick, rocks, paint, solvents, motor oil and hazardous material including asbestos are refused.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Accepted with preparation

A sofa or chair is named on the city bulky item list, so it leaves through the same pickup service as a mattress or an appliance.

City cost & eligibility
$37 for the first bulky item in a city pickup, with 15 dollars for each additional item. Available to City of Olympia garbage customers, with the charge added to the utility bill after the pickup is arranged at 360.753.8368 option 2.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2, then leave the piece in the spot you agreed for the collection.
Get it ready
Offer working furniture to a thrift store first, because the city lists donation as the first option, then keep anything left out of the dumpster and waste enclosure and clear of the containers so the crew can reach it.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses and box springs are named on the city bulky item list, with a limit of six per haul per day.

City cost & eligibility
$37 for the first mattress or box spring in a city pickup, with 15 dollars for each additional item. Available to City of Olympia garbage customers, with the charge added to the utility bill after the pickup is arranged at 360.753.8368 option 2 and a limit of six mattresses or box springs per haul per day.
When & how
Call Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 to arrange the pickup, and keep the bedding in the reachable spot you agreed for the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the cart, the dumpster and the waste enclosure. The county publishes no separate mattress line for its own sites, so confirm how a mattress would be charged at 360.867.2491 before hauling one to the Waste and Recovery Center.

Refrigerators, washers, dryers and appliances

Special rules apply

Washers, dryers, microwaves and other non-refrigerated appliances are on the city bulky list, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is refused by the city and goes to the county center.

City cost & eligibility
A non-refrigerated appliance is charged as a bulky item at 37 dollars for the first item and 15 dollars for each additional item on the utility bill, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit is not picked up at all and is charged the county garbage rate at the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center plus an 18 dollar per item special handling fee. Confirm the route at 360.753.8368 before the unit leaves the house.
When & how
Arrange a bulky pickup for a non-refrigerated unit, or haul a refrigerant unit to the county center at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey, which is the only site that takes it.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and keep it out of the cart, the dumpster and the waste enclosure. A refrigerant unit needs its own trip because the county adds a special handling fee for it, and the city refuses to collect it.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Special rules apply

Televisions, monitors and computers recycle free through E-Cycle Washington, and they are not on the city bulky item list.

City cost & eligibility
Free at an E-Cycle Washington collection site for computers, monitors and televisions, or charged at the county center as garbage with an 18 dollar per item handling fee for a television or monitor. The HazoHouse refuses electronics outright.
When & how
Drop the device at a listed E-Cycle site such as the Goodwill store at 400 Cooper Point Road SW, open daily, or A+ Computers at 2724 Pacific Avenue SE on Tuesday through Friday afternoons, or pay the county rate at the Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the garbage cart and the recycling cart, call ahead before dropping off a large or heavy television, and expect the county sites to handle electronics as garbage rather than as recycling.

Construction and remodeling debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction material is not on the city collection routes, so debris goes to the county center or into a rented container.

City cost & eligibility
From $21 per load under 300 pounds, then 136 dollars per ton prorated for construction and demolition debris at the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center. Thurston County facilities are for people who live in the county and county businesses, card payments carry a 2 dollar processing fee, and asbestos containing material needs a permit from the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency and is charged separately. The city also rents containers for the same debris at published rates.
When & how
Haul the load to the county center at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey, open weekdays 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., or rent a container through Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the garbage cart and cover the load for the drive, because Washington law requires a secured load. Concrete, asphalt, rock, brick and long lengths of pipe are refused as regular garbage, roofing debris and asbestos carry their own county rates, and fixtures and remodeling debris count as construction material.

Treadmills and exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise machines are not on the published city bulky list, so whether the city collects one depends on what Waste ReSources accepts, and the county center takes the load as garbage.

City cost & eligibility
No published bulky rate names exercise equipment, so ask Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 whether the machine rides the same first item and additional item charge, or plan on the county garbage rate at the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center, which starts at 21 dollars under 300 pounds and then 136 dollars per ton prorated.
When & how
Arrange a pickup with Waste ReSources, or drive the load to the county center on Hogum Bay Road in Lacey during its open hours.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart as far as it will come, keep the console and cord with the frame, and leave the load in a reachable spot for the crew or secured for the drive.

Tires and rims

Special rules apply

Tires and rims are on the city bulky item list, and the county center takes passenger tires at the garbage rate with a five tire daily limit.

City cost & eligibility
$37 for the first bulky item in a city pickup when tires and rims are part of the load, with 15 dollars for each additional item. City of Olympia garbage customers, with the charge added to the utility bill. The county center also takes passenger tires at the regular garbage rate, limited to five tires per vehicle per day, and recycles them when they are kept separate from other material.
When & how
Add the tires to a city bulky pickup through 360.753.8368 option 2, or take up to five passenger tires per vehicle to the county center and unload them into the designated area yourself.
Get it ready
Keep the tires separate from the rest of the load if you drive them to the county center, because separated tires are recycled, and stay within the five tire daily limit per vehicle.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulky items need an arrangement and a reachable spot

Call Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 before the items go out, and keep them out of dumpsters and waste enclosures because they fill containers and damage compactors. The city asks that bulky items sit in a designated area that does not block onsite waste containers or interrupt the normal collection.

Electronics have their own route

Televisions, monitors and computers belong at an E-Cycle Washington collection site rather than in a cart or in the bulk pile, and a large or heavy television is worth a call ahead. The county's own sites handle electronics as garbage for a fee, so a free E-Cycle drop off is the route worth planning first.

Yard debris, organics and the closing drop off site

Organics collection runs every other Monday through a subscription arranged with Utility Billing, and yard debris can also be driven to the county center. The city's Saturday drop off site is closing after the property sale, with cardboard collection ended on January 31, 2026 and glass drop off extended further into 2026, so glass goes to 1000 10th Avenue SE around the clock, Yauger Park, or Concrete Recyclers on Black Lake Boulevard.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Olympia?

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 bulky item picked up in Olympia?

Call Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 and describe the items. Olympia is the exclusive hauler inside the city limits, so the pickup is added to the utility bill at the published first item and additional item rates. The list covers mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, washers and dryers, microwaves, non-refrigerated appliances, carpet rolls and tires and rims, while refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are not picked up at all.Official guidance

Will Olympia pick up a couch?

Yes. Sofas and chairs are on the city bulky item list, so call Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2, and the first item plus any additional item is charged to the utility account. The city asks residents and property managers not to put furniture in dumpsters or waste enclosures, because it fills containers and damages compactors, and a piece that still works can be donated instead.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a mattress in Olympia?

Call Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2 and add the mattress or box spring to a bulky pickup, which is charged to the utility account at the published first item and additional item rates with a limit of six mattresses or box springs per haul per day. The Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey is the other drop off, and the county publishes no separate mattress line for its own sites, so confirm the rate with the county at 360.867.2491 before loading a trailer.Official guidance

Will the city take a refrigerator or an air conditioner?

No. The city rate sheet states that freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners are not picked up, and the city fees sheet lists refrigerant units among the material not accepted as regular garbage. They go to the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey, which is the only site that takes them, where the garbage rate applies plus a per item special handling fee. A washer, dryer, microwave or other non-refrigerated appliance can go on a city bulky pickup instead.Official guidance

How do I recycle a television in Olympia?

Use the state E-Cycle Washington program, which recycles computers, monitors and televisions free at listed collection sites such as the Goodwill store on Cooper Point Road and A+ Computers on Pacific Avenue, where the site list gives the days and hours. The county's own sites are not free for electronics: at the Waste and Recovery Center a television or monitor carries the garbage rate plus a per item handling fee, and the HazoHouse does not accept electronics at all.Official guidance

Where does construction debris go in Olympia?

To the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey, or into a container rented from the city. The county charges construction and demolition debris by weight, the load has to be secured for the drive, and asbestos containing material needs a permit from the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency first. The city will not put cement, asphalt, rock, brick or long lengths of pipe out with regular garbage.Official guidance

How do I dispose of a treadmill in Olympia?

Ask Waste ReSources at 360.753.8368 option 2, because the published bulky item list names mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, washers and dryers, microwaves, non-refrigerated appliances, carpet rolls and tires and rims but not exercise machines. If the city will not take it as a bulky item, the Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey accepts the load as household garbage for the county rate.Official guidance

How many tires will Olympia collect?

Tires and rims are a listed city bulky item, so they are collected with a bulky pickup for the published first item and additional item charge. The county route is a drive to the Waste and Recovery Center in Lacey, where passenger tires are limited to five per vehicle per day, the regular garbage fee applies, and customers unload them into the designated area so separated tires can be recycled.Official guidance

Who picks up bulky items in Olympia?

Waste ReSources, which the city describes as the exclusive garbage and refuse hauler inside the city limits, picks up bulky items for a published first item and additional item charge added to the utility bill. The list covers mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, washers and dryers, microwaves, non-refrigerated appliances, carpet rolls and tires and rims, with a limit of six mattresses or box springs per haul per day, and refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are not picked up. Arrange the pickup at 360.753.8368 option 2 and keep the items out of dumpsters and waste enclosures.Official guidance

Where can I take things myself?

The Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey takes household garbage, construction and demolition debris, roofing, food and yard waste, recyclables, clothing donations and passenger tires, with special handling fees for televisions, monitors and refrigerated appliances. The HazoHouse at the same address takes household chemicals free for county residents, and televisions and computers are free at E-Cycle Washington collection sites such as the Goodwill store on Cooper Point Road or A+ Computers on Pacific Avenue.Official guidance

What is happening with yard waste and the Saturday drop off site?

Organics collection is a city subscription that runs every other Monday and is arranged with Utility Billing, and yard debris can also be driven to the county center. The city's Saturday drop off site is closing because the property was sold, with cardboard collection ended on January 31, 2026 and glass drop off extended further into 2026 while alternatives are explored, so glass goes to 1000 10th Avenue SE around the clock, Yauger Park, or Concrete Recyclers on Black Lake Boulevard.Official guidance
