Clear the boxes after a move, delivery or busy week. Book empty boxes individually, bundles of 10 flattened boxes, or securely bound cardboard bales with loading-dock access.
The new furniture is in place. The deliveries are opened. Choose the cardboard you have and get the space back, without turning a stack of boxes into a guessing game.
Pick the right unit.
A loose box, a ten-box bundle and a compacted bale have separate prices.
Only book what is there.
Add bundles, leftover boxes and other items to one order.
Get confirmation it is cleared.
Follow pickup updates and photos after collection.
Boxes, bundles and bales are three different things.
A bundle is ten flattened boxes. A bale is mechanically compacted cardboard, securely strapped together and staged at an accessible loading dock.
Loose empty boxes.
Count each empty box as one item. Remove contents, plastic packing and foam. This choice is for the cardboard box itself.
Bundles of 10.
Flatten ten empty boxes and tie them into one bundle. Twenty-three boxes? Choose two ten-box bundles and three loose boxes. Count each box once.
Compacted bales.
Choose small for 50–150 lb, medium for 151–300 lb or large for 301–500 lb. Every bale must be securely bound and accessible from a loading dock. Unknown weight, no dock or over 500 lb? Ask our team first.

Cardboard boxes are accepted in the voluntary Huntington Recycles curbside program run through Rumpke.
City cost & eligibility
From $11.61 for published monthly subscription rate effective April 1, 2026, plus a one-time charge for the 95-gallon container, with a credit applied to the quarterly refuse fee bill. City of Huntington residents whose household garbage is serviced by the City, including renters in buildings with four or fewer units.
When & how
Rumpke collects the recycling container every two weeks, separately from the City's weekly garbage service, which continues unchanged.
Get it ready
Put all accepted recyclable material in the container unbagged, because the program is single stream and does not require sorting.
Weekly household garbage should not be set out for collection before 6 p.m. the night before the scheduled pickup day, which keeps animals and wind from knocking the material over.
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.

Huntington does not publish a city drop-off site, so self hauling starts with confirming a route. Items the City will not collect, including tires, car batteries, motor oil and petroleum products, and appliances that still contain refrigerant, are regulated by the DEP and EPA, and the City publishes 304.926.0495 for guidance on them. Anything the City's pages do not list, including electronics and larger scrap metal, should be confirmed with Public Works at 304.696.5540 option 1 before it goes to the curb.
