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.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture leaves Jonesboro on a trailer rather than a truck: the city does not collect large or bulky items like furniture at the curb, and sends them to the Legacy Landfill, where a Jonesboro household load of solid waste is not charged.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Jonesboro residents hauling household solid waste to the Legacy Landfill, which charges residents only for construction material; the monthly Community Clean-Up events are also free to residents.
When & how
Take the furniture to the Legacy Landfill during gate hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or hold it for the next Community Clean-Up on a Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Get it ready
Tarp or secure the load on the way, and keep it clear of the cart and the curb, because the automated trucks collect only what is inside the city container and the ordinance forbids bulk waste at the curb. A couch that is still usable is worth offering for reuse before it becomes a landfill load.

Bulky items and household junk

Accepted with preparation

Jonesboro has two bulky routes and neither is the curb. The city's monthly Community Clean-Up takes bulky junk, meaning items too large for a standard trash bin, along with glass and paper recycling, and the Legacy Landfill takes household solid waste from Jonesboro addresses without charge.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free Community Clean-Up events open to Jonesboro residents, and free household solid waste disposal for Jonesboro residents at the Legacy Landfill; construction material is the only charged residential load.
When & how
Community Clean-Ups run from 8:00 a.m. to noon on a Saturday, generally the first Saturday of the month, with the 2026 schedule alternating between 2650 Lacy Drive and neighbourhood sites, and no event in January 2026. The landfill takes loads Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the load tarped and secured for the landfill, and keep lawn debris out of a clean-up load if the event is at the Lacy Drive site, where lawn debris is not accepted on clean-up Saturdays. Never leave bulk material at the curb, because the ordinance forbids it and the automated trucks only empty the city container.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Everything goes inside the cart with the lid closed

Bag and tie household trash, put the bags inside the city container with the lid closed, and wheel the cart within five feet of the street edge with the arrows facing out. Put it out no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, keep it five feet from mailboxes and vehicles and out from under basketball goals or high wires, and take it back in within 24 hours.

Bulk waste never goes to the curb

The sanitation ordinance states plainly that no bulk waste shall be placed curbside and that no bagged or loose trash may sit outside the residential container, and the automated trucks collect only what is inside the cart. Break down boxes and large pieces of cardboard, keep yard waste out of the container and out of a recycling bag, and route furniture, bedding and appliances to the landfill instead.

Yard waste is bagged at 20 pounds and limbs are cut to size

Yard waste goes out twice monthly on the trash day in a paper bag or a reusable container no larger than a 32-gallon can marked Yard Waste, with each bag or container weighing no more than 20 pounds and no sticks larger than two feet long or three inches thick. Limbs are collected once monthly, free of charge, when they are no larger than ten feet long and eight inches across and go out by 6:00 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, with no stumps, trunks, rocks or dirt.

Tarp the load and strip the compressor before the landfill gate

State law requires every load arriving at Legacy Landfill to be tarped and secured, and only waste from Craighead County is accepted. An appliance or air conditioning unit must have its compressor removed before disposal, hydraulic trailers need working batteries, and construction material is the one residential load a Jonesboro address pays for at the gate.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Jonesboro?

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.

Where does a Jonesboro couch go?

To the Legacy Landfill at 238 County Road 476, because the city does not collect large items like furniture at the curb and bulk waste is not allowed there. Jonesboro residents do not pay for household solid waste disposal at the landfill, and the free monthly Community Clean-Up is the other route for bulky junk.Official guidance

Where does bulky junk go in Jonesboro?

Either to a monthly Community Clean-Up, which is free and takes bulky junk along with glass and paper on a Saturday morning from 8:00 a.m. to noon, or to the Legacy Landfill, which takes household solid waste from Jonesboro residents without charge. Furniture is never collected at the curb.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Jonesboro?

The City of Jonesboro Sanitation Department does, from 2601 Dan Avenue, on a designated weekday between Monday and Friday. Household trash, recycling and yard waste all come on that one day, the cart has to be out by 6:00 a.m., and questions or a missing cart go to 870-932-7520. Collection schedule changes for holidays or bad weather are announced on the city's Facebook page.Official guidance

Why will the city not take my furniture from the curb?

Because Jonesboro keeps bulk waste out of the curbside program. The sanitation ordinance states that no bulk waste shall be placed curbside, and the city directs large or bulky items like furniture to the Legacy Landfill, which takes household solid waste from Jonesboro residents without charge.Official guidance

Does a Jonesboro resident pay at the landfill?

Not for household solid waste: Jonesboro residents do not have to pay for solid waste disposal at Legacy Landfill unless the load is construction material, while businesses always pay. Construction material is charged at the published rate per ton plus sales tax, there is a minimum load charge, and tipping fees are adjusted each March.Official guidance

How does Jonesboro recycling work?

The city runs its own program and issues 65-gallon recycling carts, which are ordered by phone at 870-932-3042 or in person at City Collections, 300 S. Church Street. Recycling takes plastics numbered one and two, aluminum or steel cans, newspaper, office paper, junk mail and corrugated or light cardboard, and the cart sticker sets the schedule: yellow for the first and third week of the month, orange for the second and fourth, both on the trash day.Official guidance

How does a Jonesboro household get rid of paint?

Dry it out first. The city's answer is to pour kitty litter, newspaper or sand into the can, leave the lid off for a couple of days, and then take the hardened can to the landfill. Liquid paint is refused in the cart, and liquids of any kind are not accepted in curbside collection.Official guidance
