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.

Rental bins and roll-off containers for large loads

Accepted with preparation

Large loads that no cart can take move through the city's paid container program: a three cubic yard bin, a ten cubic yard roll-off for heavy material and thirty or forty cubic yard roll-offs with doors, all prepaid at City Hall.

City cost & eligibility
From $77 for the published prepayment of $77.00 for a three cubic yard bin, which covers delivery and one service, and $251.53 for a ten cubic yard roll-off with a $251.53 pull charge per service, with thirty and forty cubic yard roll-offs priced by the division. City of Tulare accounts arranging the container through the Solid Waste Division. Every prepayment is made in advance at City Hall at 411 East Kern Avenue before delivery.
When & how
Arrange the bin or roll-off with the Solid Waste Division, pay the prepayment at City Hall, and have the container delivered for the project or cleanup window.
Get it ready
Match the container to the load: the three cubic yard bin for a household cleanup, the ten cubic yard roll-off for heavy material, and the larger roll-offs with doors for demolition or bulky project debris. Keep hazardous products out of every container, because they are refused and belong at the hazardous waste facility.

Couches and household furniture

Special rules apply

No Tulare page publishes a curbside bulky item pickup, so furniture has to be confirmed with the division, and the published route for a large load is the paid rental container program.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item furniture collection and no bulky pickup day, so confirm whether a couch or a table can be taken on request and what it costs, with the rental bin or roll-off as the published paid route for a whole load.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division first, then either arrange the container or set the piece out if the division confirms a pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and dry enough for two people to handle, empty drawers, and keep it out of the carts. If the household is clearing several rooms, the three cubic yard bin is the published option and covers delivery plus one service.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

A mattress is not named on any Tulare page, so the piece has to be confirmed with the division, and a large load goes into the city's paid container program.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress charge and names no mattress on a collection route, so confirm acceptance and the price with the Solid Waste Division before the piece goes out, with the rental bin or roll-off as the paid alternative for a load.
When & how
Call the division first, then set the mattress out only if a pickup is confirmed, or hold it for the rental container.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and wrapped so it can be handled, keep it out of every cart, and count a mattress and box spring separately when a container is sized.

Appliances and metal household items

Special rules apply

No Tulare page names an appliance route, so an appliance has to be confirmed with the division, and a load of them rides the paid container program.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance collection or price, so confirm with the Solid Waste Division whether an appliance is collected separately and what it costs, with the rental container as the route for a load.
When & how
Call the division first, then either set the unit out if a pickup is confirmed or hold it for the container.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure or remove the doors, keep it out of the carts, and ask about any refrigerant requirement before moving a cooling appliance.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Rental containers are prepaid at City Hall

A three cubic yard bin, a ten cubic yard roll-off for heavy material, or a thirty or forty cubic yard roll-off is arranged with the Solid Waste Division and paid for in advance at City Hall at 411 East Kern Avenue before delivery. The bin covers delivery and one service, and every roll-off service carries a pull charge, so size the container before paying.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Tulare runs through the city's own container program or to the county hazardous waste facility. A large load of furniture, appliances, bedding, yard material or project debris is handled by renting a city container: a three cubic yard bin for a household cleanup, a ten cubic yard roll-off for heavy material, or a thirty or forty cubic yard roll-off with doors for demolition, all arranged with the Solid Waste Division and prepaid at City Hall before delivery, with a pull charge on every roll-off service. Construction and demolition projects also follow the city's Construction and Demolition Ordinance and its diversion requirement, and demolition work may need a permit from the air pollution control district. Electronics and paper go to the city's twice yearly drop-off event instead, leaves join the seasonal call-in list, and household hazardous products such as oil based paint, solvents, cleaners, pesticides and batteries are not collected at the curb at all: they go to the Visalia hazardous waste facility or another approved drop-off, with household batteries on the city's published drop-off list.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Tulare?

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 do I get rid of a mattress in Tulare?

Confirm it with the Solid Waste Division. No Tulare page names a mattress on a collection route or publishes a mattress price, so ask whether a pickup is possible, and otherwise use the city's rental bin or roll-off, which is prepaid at City Hall before delivery.Official guidance

How do I get rid of an appliance in Tulare?

Confirm it with the Solid Waste Division. No city page names an appliance route or price, so ask whether the unit is collected and what it costs, and use the rental bin or roll-off if the household is clearing a whole load at once.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Tulare?

The City of Tulare Public Works Solid Waste and Recycling Division does, and the municipal code requires every residence inside the city limits to hold a trash service account.

What does disposal cost in Tulare?

Carry-out service is free with an approved application and a doctor's note.Official guidance

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

Does Tulare take electronics from the curb?

To the city's paper shredding and electronic waste drop off, which runs twice a year, or to an approved drop-off listed on the electronic waste flyer. They never go in a cart, and the division can confirm the next date.Official guidance

Oil based paint goes to the Visalia hazardous waste facility or another approved drop-off, while leftover latex paint is soaked up with kitty litter and placed in the gray container. A completely empty and dried out container can be placed in the blue cart, and batteries go to the published drop-off locations rather than any cart.Official guidance
