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

Mattresses

Special rules apply

Auburn's trash definition names appliances, furniture and yard material but not mattresses, so the city has to confirm the bed before it goes to the curb.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a 32 dollar monthly collection fee that covers once-a-week garbage, trash and recycling rather than a per-item bulky price. Confirm the mattress with Environmental Services at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Call Environmental Services before the collection day, then put the mattress out with the compact trash pile on the same day as the garbage cart.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the green cart and away from low tree limbs, power lines, water meters, mailboxes and vehicles, inside the single compact pile.
City garbage, trash and recycling program rulesCity garbage frequently asked questionsCity move-out guide for garbage and bulky trash

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is named in the city's trash definition and rides with the same-day bulky pile at the curb.

City cost & eligibility
The monthly collection fee covers the service and the city publishes no per-item furniture price. Confirm anything unusual with Environmental Services at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Put the furniture out with the trash pile on the same day as the garbage cart, at the curb and not in the green cart.
Get it ready
Keep the load to one compact pile at least three feet from the curb and away from poles, mailboxes, storm drains, utility boxes, vehicles and overhead lines.

Household appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named in the city's trash definition and are collected at the curb with the bulky pile on the garbage day.

City cost & eligibility
The service is covered by the monthly collection fee and the city publishes no separate appliance price. Confirm the unit with Environmental Services at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Set the appliance out with the trash pile on the collection day, at the curb and not in the green cart.
Get it ready
Empty and drain the unit and remove the doors so nothing can be trapped inside. The city describes collection and transfer, so treat this as disposal rather than a promised material recovery.
City garbage, trash and recycling program rulesCity move-out guide for garbage and bulky trash

Televisions and computer monitors

Accepted with preparation

The city tells residents to put televisions and computer monitors at the curb with the other trash rather than bringing them to the electronics program.

City cost & eligibility
Televisions ride with the covered curbside trash service and no separate price is published. Confirm a very large set with Environmental Services at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Put the television or monitor out with the compact trash pile on the collection day so the crew picks it up with the rest of the curb material.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, keep it out of the green cart and out of the recycling cart, and keep it clear of poles, mailboxes and vehicles at the curb.
City recycling frequently asked questionsCity garbage, trash and recycling program rules

Computers and household electronics

Accepted with preparation

Computers and electronics that are not televisions or monitors are recycled by appointment with Environmental Services, and the hazardous waste days take them too.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge for the appointment drop-off, and the hazardous waste days are described as free for residents. Confirm the appointment and any charge at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Call Environmental Services at 334-501-3080 to make the appointment, because the items need special handling, or bring them to a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day such as Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 4277 Wire Road.
Get it ready
Keep televisions and monitors out of this route and put those at the curb instead. Bring cables, towers, laptops, phones and similar accepted devices, and wipe personal data before handover.

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

Construction material, dirt, rocks and roofing are expressly excluded from Auburn's trash route and from the green garbage cart.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not collect construction material at the curb. A private facility or hauler sets its own acceptance and price.
When & how
Arrange the private route before the project starts, and describe each material and whether a contractor generated it.
Get it ready
Keep construction material, dirt, rocks and roofing out of the curb pile so the rest of the load can still be collected, and keep it out of the green cart as well.
City garbage, trash and recycling program rulesCity garbage frequently asked questions

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky list, so Environmental Services has to confirm the machine before it is set out.

City cost & eligibility
The covered service publishes no per-item price. Confirm the machine with Environmental Services at 334-501-3080 before the collection day.
When & how
Call the department with the machine type, size and whether it has electronics, then set it out with the compact trash pile only if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled as electronics, and keep the pile clear of poles, mailboxes and vehicles.

Mixed bulky loads and curbside trash

Accepted with preparation

Auburn collects bulky trash at the curb on the same day as the garbage cart, in one compact pile outside the green cart.

City cost & eligibility
The 32 dollar monthly residential fee covers once-a-week garbage, trash and recycling rather than a per-load bulky price. Confirm the load and any extra-container charge at 334-501-3080.
When & how
Trash is collected on the same day as the garbage collection, so the pile goes out at the curb for that day rather than in the green cart.
Get it ready
Keep the material in one compact pile at least three feet from the curb and away from poles, mailboxes, storm drains, utility boxes, vehicles and overhead lines. Garbage stays in the green cart, and extra cans or bags beside the cart are not collected.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Carts out by 6 a.m. and pulled back afterwards

Place carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, or the night before, and pull them back to the rear of the residence once they are emptied. Do not put carts out on a day when no collection is scheduled.

City of Auburn Environmental Services Department

Use the city trash route for bulky items

Auburn residences inside the city solid waste service with furniture, appliances, televisions, monitors or other bulky material that belongs in the curb pile.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes a 32 dollar monthly residential fee covering once-a-week garbage, trash and recycling rather than a per-item bulky price. Confirm the item at 334-501-3080.
Arrange it
Put the material in one compact pile at the curb for the day your garbage is collected, keeping garbage in the green cart.

Garbage, construction material, dirt, hazardous waste, rocks and roofing are excluded, extra cans or bags beside the cart are not collected, and an unnamed item such as a mattress or an exercise machine needs confirmation first.

Review the city collection rules

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Auburn's own department runs the collection, so the first call is Environmental Services at 334-501-3080 whatever the item is. Bulky trash goes to the curb in one compact pile on the garbage day, while the green cart takes household garbage only. Televisions and monitors go out with that curb trash, ordinary computers and electronics are recycled by appointment, and the 24-hour drop-off center at 356 N Donahue Dr takes everything the curbside recycling cart takes, plus glass separated by color, transistor batteries up to size D, cell phones, cooking grease or oil, and magazines and telephone books. Construction material, dirt, rocks, roofing and hazardous waste never belong in the curb pile; hazardous material goes to one of the two collection days a year at 4277 Wire Road instead.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Auburn?

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.
