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.

The three Recology carts

Accepted with preparation

Garbage, recycling and compost are all collected by Recology through the city contract, in the three cart set on a household's collection day.

City cost & eligibility
The operator does not publish a household rate card on the pages read, so call Recology customer service on 425-552-1008 or email Redmond@recology.com and confirm the current monthly rate for the cart sizes and collection frequency you choose. Support is open Monday to Friday seven in the morning to seven at night and weekends eight to seven.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day, with the carts at the curb by seven in the morning. The service day comes from the operator's own schedule tool.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables empty, clean and dry, and keep the streams separated between the garbage, recycling and compost carts. Manage the cart account online to start, stop or change service, have a cart repaired or replaced, or book a bulky item collection, and note that the city lists a free carry-out service for residents with disabilities, a reduced rate for low-income seniors and disabled customers, and wildlife-resistant carts for areas with animal activity.

Curbside recycling

Accepted with preparation

Recycling is one of the three Recology carts, and the city also lists newer curbside streams for material that does not belong in the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Recycling is part of the contracted three-cart service rather than a separate charge, and the hard-to-recycle streams that go out at the curb are part of the same service.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day with the carts at the curb by seven in the morning; a scheduled special item collection goes out on the same collection day.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables empty, clean and dry so the material can be sorted. Curbside service now includes Styrofoam, batteries, textiles, lightbulbs and organics, and the city's Waste Buster tool answers what goes where for a specific item.

Compost and organics

Accepted with preparation

organics are one of the three Recology carts, so food and yard material are collected at the curb rather than going into the garbage.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. organics are part of the contracted three-cart service, and the city lists organics among the streams the curbside collection now includes.
When & how
On the household's assigned collection day with the cart at the curb by seven in the morning.
Get it ready
Keep food and yard material in the organics cart rather than the garbage cart, because the city explains that diverting organic material extends the life of the landfill and lowers emissions. The Waste Buster tool answers which specific items are compostable.

Bulky item collection

Accepted with preparation

Large items are collected on call, and a single-family household gets one no-cost bulky collection a year up to three pieces or one cubic yard.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A single-family customer is entitled to one annual no-cost collection of up to three pieces of bulky waste or up to one cubic yard of garbage, provided no individual item, bag or box is larger than three feet by three feet. Service charges and disposal or recycling fees apply to anything beyond that allowance.
When & how
Book the collection in advance by calling 425-552-1008 or using the online service portal, then put the items at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled pickup date. The operator says items go out on the regular collection day, and only items that were scheduled may be placed at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the three feet by three feet item limit and inside the allowance so the collection stays in the free one, and keep unscheduled items off the curb. The operator names sofas and chairs, mattresses and box springs, refrigerators and freezers, and washing machines as examples of what the service takes.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Sofas and chairs are named as bulky items, and the operator asks households to consider donating usable pieces first.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A piece within the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while anything beyond that allowance carries the service and disposal charges.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance and set the piece at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date.
Get it ready
Empty and dry the piece before it goes out and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. The operator asks households to consider donating sofas and tables that could find a new life, because that keeps the piece out of the landfill.
Operator bulky items page with the on-call collection, the annual no-cost allowance and the placement rules

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses and box springs are named as bulky items, so bedding goes out through the on-call collection rather than in a cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress or box spring inside the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while anything beyond that allowance carries the service and disposal or recycling charges.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance, then set the set at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled pickup date.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat where it can be reached from the curb, and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. Ask about the box spring at the same time so both pieces are booked in the one collection.
Operator bulky items page with the on-call collection, the annual no-cost allowance and the placement rules

Appliances and cooling units

Accepted with preparation

Refrigerators and freezers are named as bulky items along with washing machines, and anything beyond the annual allowance carries the disposal fee.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance inside the annual allowance of up to three bulky items is collected at no cost, while the operator states that service charges and disposal or recycling fees apply beyond that allowance.
When & how
Book the bulky collection in advance and set the unit at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep the door secured or removed so nothing can be trapped inside, and keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit. Ask about any refrigerant handling when the collection is booked, because a cooling unit is treated as special handling material.
Operator bulky items page with the on-call collection, the annual no-cost allowance and the placement rules

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Small electronics go out at the curb as a scheduled special item, and televisions, computers and monitors recycle free through the state program.

City cost & eligibility

E-Cycle Washington is free for televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players at registered collectors, keyboards, printers, toner cartridges and cell phones are free at participating Best Buy and Staples stores, small electronics go out at the curb with the special item collection, and the Recology Store takes small electronics and appliances free from its residential customers.
When & how
Put a small item out with the scheduled special item collection on the collection day, or bring a television or computer to a registered E-Cycle collector or the Recology Store during its open hours.
Get it ready
A curbside special item has to be two feet by two feet by two feet or smaller and under sixty pounds, and it goes on top of or beside the blue recycling cart, with the request made by the bill payer on the account. Wipe the personal data off anything that stores it, and call ahead when a screen is cracked, because a location may turn away a badly damaged unit.

Construction and remodeling material

Special rules apply

Construction material is not part of the curbside carts, so a project load has to go to a disposal site the city's own lookup names.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no household construction rate, and the receiving site sets its own gate price for the load, so confirm the current charge before the material moves.
When & how
Arrange the drop-off trip before the work starts and keep the material off the curb and out of the carts.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the three carts, separate clean loads where the receiving site asks for it, and use the city's Waste Buster tool or the county what to do with lookup to name the site that takes a specific material before hauling it.
City page on the Recology garbage and recycling service with the contact details, the service portal and the storeCity Waste Buster and what goes where tool page linking the operator and county disposal resources

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on the operator's bulky examples, so the machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.

City cost & eligibility
The operator names sofas and chairs, mattresses, refrigerators and washing machines as bulky examples but not exercise equipment, so call 425-552-1008 and confirm that the machine fits a bulky collection and what it will cost.
When & how
Confirm first, then book the bulky collection and set the machine out by seven in the morning on the scheduled date if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it, keep the whole thing inside the three feet by three feet item limit, and take off a console or battery pack so anything electronic or battery powered is handled through the right stream.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Redmond?

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.

What time do Redmond carts go to the curb?

Scheduled bulky items have to be at the curb by seven in the morning on the pickup date, and the same early set-out applies to the regular collection day. Only items that were scheduled in advance may be placed out, so book first and set out second.Official guidance

Who do I contact about a Redmond cart problem?

Contact Recology directly, because the city points residents to the operator for billing questions, cart issues and service requests. Call 425-552-1008 or email Redmond@recology.com, or use the online service portal to start, stop or change service and to book or manage a bulky item collection.Official guidance

How clean do Redmond recyclables need to be?

Empty, clean and dry, because the city says that keeps collection and sorting efficient. The Recology Store accepts more awkward material in person, and the Waste Buster tool on the city site answers where a specific item belongs.Official guidance

Why does Redmond collect organics separately?

Redmond garbage goes to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill in Maple Valley, which the city says is expected to reach capacity and close around 2040 after receiving nearly a million tons of waste a year. Diverting food and yard material into the organics cart keeps that material out of the landfill, lowers emissions and extends the life of the site.Official guidance

How much bulky waste can a Redmond household set out for free?

One collection a year, of up to three pieces of bulky waste or up to one cubic yard of garbage, as long as no single item, bag or box is larger than three feet by three feet. Everything beyond that allowance carries service charges and disposal or recycling fees, so confirm the cost when the collection is booked.Official guidance

How do I schedule a bulky item pickup in Redmond?

Call the operator on 425-552-1008 or use the online service portal to book the collection, then set the items at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date. Only scheduled items may be placed out, and the operator notes that the load goes out on your regular collection day.Official guidance

Should a Redmond couch be donated or set out?

The operator asks households to consider donating a sofa or table that could find a new life before booking a bulky collection. If the piece is not donatable, it can go out as a bulky item, inside the three pieces a year allowance and within the three feet by three feet item limit.Official guidance

Will Redmond collect a mattress?

Yes, as a bulky item. Mattresses and box springs are on the operator's list of bulky examples, they are collected on call after booking on 425-552-1008 or through the service portal, and the set has to be at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in Redmond?

Refrigerators and freezers are on the operator's bulky item list, so book a bulky collection on 425-552-1008 or through the service portal and set the unit at the curb by seven in the morning on the scheduled date. An appliance within the three piece annual allowance is collected at no cost, and anything beyond that carries the operator's service and disposal fees.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Redmond?

The state E-Cycle Washington program recycles televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players free of charge at registered collectors, and keyboards, printers, toner cartridges and cell phones are free at participating Best Buy and Staples stores. A small device can also go out at the curb with the scheduled special item collection, and the Recology Store takes small electronics and appliances from its residential customers.Official guidance

What size electronics can go out at the curb in Redmond?

A special item has to be two feet by two feet by two feet or smaller and under sixty pounds, and it is placed on top of or beside the blue recycling cart on the collection day. The request has to come from the bill payer on the account.Official guidance

Will Redmond take construction debris at the curb?

Not with the three carts. The city's Waste Buster page points to the county drop-off lookup for a specific material, so name the site that takes the load before anything moves and confirm the receiving site's price.Official guidance

Will Redmond collect a treadmill?

Exercise equipment is not on the operator's list of bulky examples, so call 425-552-1008 and confirm that the machine can be collected and what it will cost before it goes out. Keep it inside the three feet by three feet item limit, and take off any console or battery pack so that part goes through the right stream.Official guidance
