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.

Spring and fall bulk trash events

Accepted with preparation

The city hosts two bulk trash collection events each year, one in spring and one in fall, where residential solid waste customers can put out large-sized trash such as mattresses, landscape trimmings and other oversized waste for a minimal participation fee.

City cost & eligibility
The city describes a minimal participation fee for the bulk trash events without publishing the amount or the volume limit, so confirm the current fee and what the event accepts with City Customer Service or the hauler before the event week.
When & how
Events run once in the spring and once in the fall on published dates, so watch for the event announcement and set material out for the scheduled week rather than expecting a standing monthly collection.
Get it ready
Sort usable items first, because the city asks residents to donate or give away anything still in good condition instead of sending it to the landfill. Keep construction debris, dirt, rocks, cement, roofing shingles and hazardous material out of the event pile, since those streams have their own routes.

Hauler pickup for large items and extra trash

Special rules apply

Material that will not fit in the barrel, or an excessive amount of trash, can be picked up by the hauler on request, with an additional charge that depends on the volume and the size of the items.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no price for the arrangement and states only that the charge depends on volume and item size, so call the hauler or City Customer Service to price the load before it is set out.
When & how
Call the hauler's office during business hours to arrange the pickup, then set the material out as directed for the agreed day.
Get it ready
Describe the load accurately when the pickup is booked, since the price depends on volume and on how large the pieces are, and keep hazardous material, tires, construction debris and dirt out of the pile because those are refused outside their own routes.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress is named among the large-sized items the city's bulk trash events take, and outside those event weeks the route runs through the hauler pickup at a charge that depends on the volume.

City cost & eligibility
No mattress price or per piece limit is published. The bulk trash event carries a minimal participation fee and the hauler pickup is priced by volume and item size, so confirm what a mattress costs on whichever route applies before the piece goes out.
When & how
Use the spring or fall bulk trash event on its published date, or call the hauler to arrange a pickup outside the event weeks.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and wrapped so it can be handled, keep it out of the barrel, and ask whether a mattress and box spring count as separate pieces when the route is arranged.

Couches, furniture and household goods

Special rules apply

Furniture is not named item by item, so a couch or a table travels either inside the oversized material the bulk trash events take or on a hauler pickup priced by volume.

City cost & eligibility
No furniture price is published. Confirm whether the piece is taken at the spring or fall bulk trash event for the participation fee or through the hauler pickup, where the charge depends on the volume and the size of the item.
When & how
Use the bulk trash event week or call the hauler to arrange the pickup, and set the piece out only for the day that is agreed.
Get it ready
Empty drawers, remove anything you are keeping, and keep the piece whole and dry enough for two people to lift. Anything usable should be offered for donation first, which the city encourages, and keep construction debris and hazardous material out of the same pile.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Donate what still works before the bulk event

Before the spring or fall bulk trash event, separate anything still usable: the city asks residents to offer clothing, household items, toys, office and hobby items and larger pieces for donation or free pickup rather than sending them to the landfill, and several organizations in the area will collect larger donations. Keep construction debris, dirt, rocks, cement, roofing shingles and hazardous material out of the event pile.

Arrange a hauler pickup for large items

A household with excessive trash or a large item that will not fit in the barrel and cannot wait for a bulk trash event.

Cost & conditions
The city states that the hauler can collect excessive trash and large items on request and that an additional charge applies which depends on the volume and the size of the items, so price the load with the hauler before it is set out.
Arrange it
Call the hauler's office, describe the load, agree the charge and the day, and set the material out as directed.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul is limited in El Mirage, because the city pages do not publish a transfer station, a landfill or a drop-off yard open to residents. The published routes are the weekly city barrels at the curb, the spring and fall bulk trash events for mattresses, landscape trimmings and other oversized material at a minimal participation fee, and a hauler pickup for excessive trash or large items that carries an additional charge depending on the volume and the size of the pieces. Construction and remodeling debris, dirt, rocks, cement and roofing shingles cannot go in the weekly collection and have to be arranged separately with the hauler, while motor oil, tires, car batteries, paint and chemicals are refused as hazardous and belong on the annual household hazardous waste appointment, which is free to residents who receive city solid waste service and takes labeled, packed items from the front door or garage.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in El Mirage?

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 often does El Mirage hold a bulk trash event?

Twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Residential solid waste customers can put out large-sized trash such as mattresses, landscape trimmings and other oversized material for a minimal participation fee, and the city asks that usable items be donated instead of thrown away.Official guidance

How do I get rid of something too big for the barrel?

Call the hauler's office and arrange a pickup. The city states that excessive trash and large items that will not fit in the barrel can be collected on request for an additional charge that depends on the volume and the size of the items, and the two spring and fall bulk trash events are the other city route.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a mattress in El Mirage?

Mattresses are named among the large-sized items the city's spring and fall bulk trash events take for a minimal participation fee, so the event week is the simplest route. Outside those weeks, call the hauler to arrange a large item pickup, which carries an additional charge that depends on the volume, and confirm the price first.Official guidance

Can a couch go out with the trash in El Mirage?

Not in the barrel, because nothing outside the barrel is collected. A couch moves as oversized material through the spring or fall bulk trash event, or through a hauler pickup arranged by phone, where the charge depends on the volume and the size of the piece, so confirm the route and price first.Official guidance

Who collects trash in El Mirage?

Parks & Sons of Sun City collects curbside trash and recycling for the city, and El Mirage provides the barrels and takes service questions through City Customer Service. Trash and recycling run on the same day, Mondays east of El Mirage Road and Thursdays west of it, with barrels at the curb by 5:30 a.m.Official guidance

What does trash service cost in El Mirage?

The city does not publish the residential solid waste rate on these pages, so confirm what applies to the address with City Customer Service. The other routes are priced separately: the spring and fall bulk trash events carry a minimal participation fee, and a hauler pickup for large items costs an additional charge that depends on the volume and the size of the pieces.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a couch or a mattress in El Mirage?

Either join the spring or fall bulk trash event, where mattresses and other oversized material go out for a minimal participation fee, or call the hauler to arrange a large item pickup, which carries an additional charge that depends on the volume. Nothing outside the barrel is collected on the regular day, and the city asks that usable furniture be offered for donation first.Official guidance

What do I do with an appliance or a television?

Confirm both with the hauler. Neither the collection routes nor the hazardous waste list names appliances, cooling units, televisions or computers, the bulk trash page names a non-working refrigerator only as something to give away, and the hazardous waste pickup takes batteries, light bulbs, paint and chemicals instead, so ask whether the item is collected as a large item and what it costs before it is set out.Official guidance

Can construction debris go out with the trash?

No. Remodeling and construction debris, dirt, rocks, cement and roofing shingles cannot be taken with the regular collection, and the city directs residents to the hauler to make special arrangements, which carry additional charges. Arrange the disposal before the work starts.Official guidance
