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.

Twice weekly household garbage in the City container

Accepted with preparation

Household garbage is collected twice a week from the City-issued container at single-family homes inside the city limits, and the route refuses construction material, hazardous products, tires and the other unacceptable items.

City cost & eligibility
Residential sanitation is billed to the service address through the City utility account, and the City prices the separate Pay for Pickup option for unscheduled collections, so confirm the current billing arrangement with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367.
When & how
Garbage runs twice a week on the address's published route. Set the container out no earlier than 7 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and bring it in within 12 hours after collection.
Get it ready
Wrap or bag the garbage and put it in the City-issued container, which stays with the address. Keep hazardous products, paint, batteries, tires, construction material and vegetation out of it, and keep the garbage separate from the vegetation and bulk piles so the load is not refused.

Weekly bulk item collection

Accepted with preparation

Bulk items are collected once a week from single-family residences on the same day as the address's recycling and vegetation, and the published list names furniture and bicycles.

City cost & eligibility
The weekly bulk collection is part of the residential sanitation service billed to the address. A pile larger than two cubic yards, or a collection on an unscheduled day, moves to the City's Pay for Pickup option, so confirm the current terms with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367.
When & how
Once a week, on the recycling and vegetation day for the address. Material goes out no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Place bulk items at least five feet from garbage containers, trees, utility poles, mailboxes and any other obstruction, and never under a utility line or a tree, because anything obstructed is left behind.

A mattress is not named in the published bulk list, which covers furniture, bicycles, televisions and white goods, so confirm the item with the Sanitation Division before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
The weekly bulk collection is part of the residential sanitation service billed to the address, and the City publishes the Pay for Pickup option for piles over two cubic yards or unscheduled days, so confirm how a mattress is handled with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367.

White goods and cooling appliances

Accepted with preparation

Refrigerators, washers and dryers are named as white goods on the weekly bulk route, and the City asks for the doors removed or secured for safety.

City cost & eligibility
A white good rides the weekly bulk collection that is part of the residential sanitation service billed to the address, with the Pay for Pickup option reserved for piles over two cubic yards or unscheduled days, so confirm the current terms with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367.
When & how
Weekly, on the bulk day that matches the address's recycling and vegetation day, with the unit out no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, remove or secure the doors on a refrigerator, washer or dryer, and place it at least five feet from garbage containers, trees, utility poles and mailboxes. A cooling appliance goes out on the bulk route rather than in the garbage container.

Televisions and other electronics

Accepted with preparation

Televisions are named in the bulk list, and the City directs old electronics including computers, monitors and stereos to recycling rather than the garbage container.

City cost & eligibility
Two routes carry the same devices. The weekly bulk collection is part of the residential sanitation service billed to the address, while the county Home Chemical and Recycling Centers publish no charge for Palm Beach County residents, so confirm the route and its current terms at 561-416-3367 or 866-792-4636.
When & how
On the bulk day that matches the address's recycling and vegetation day, or at a county Home Chemical and Recycling Center during its published hours with no appointment described.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, computers, monitors and stereos out of the garbage container and the recycling bins. Clear personal data before the device leaves the property, tape or bag a cracked screen, and keep loose lithium and rechargeable batteries on the household hazardous route rather than in any bin.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

The City does not collect construction and demolition debris, and its ordinance requires an authorized franchised hauler for that material inside the city limits.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no curbside collection and no City rate for construction and demolition debris. The City code requires an authorized franchised hauler for project debris and those companies set their own prices, while a load hauled directly to a county transfer station is weighed and charged the published tipping fee.
When & how
Arrange the container or the haul before the work starts, because nothing from a project goes out with the twice weekly garbage route, the weekly recycling day or the bulk and vegetation pile.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage container, the recycling bins and the bulk pile, because it is on the unacceptable materials list. Keep paint, solvents and other hazardous products on the household hazardous route, and do not mix project debris into a vegetation pile, which the City refuses when it is contaminated.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out by 7 a.m., and back in within 12 hours

Swale placement opens at 7 p.m. the night before the collection day and closes at 7 a.m. on the day itself, and the empty container comes back in within 12 hours after collection.

Five feet of clearance, and nothing under a line or a tree

Bulk items and containers sit at least five feet from other containers, trees, utility poles, mailboxes and any other obstacle. Anything placed under a utility line, a tree or a limb is not collected, and vegetation cannot sit next to a mailbox, utility pole or sprinkler head or further than six feet from the paved edge of the street.

Keep bulk, garbage and vegetation apart

The City refuses bulk items that are not separated from vegetation, and refused waste has to come off the swale within 12 hours of a violation notice, with the clean load collected on the next scheduled day unless the household books the Pay for Pickup option.

A household with more than two cubic yards of bulk items or vegetation, or an address that needs a collection outside the published weekly day.

City of Boca Raton residential addresses arranging an unscheduled collection with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367.

See the Pay for Pickup option

City of Boca Raton Sanitation Services Division

Household hazardous waste and electronics drop-off

Paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane cylinders, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and electronics that must not go to the curb.

Cost & conditions
No charge. No charge for Palm Beach County residents at the county Home Chemical and Recycling Centers. Small businesses pay a fee, and the centers refuse tires, sharps and medical waste, prescription medicines, empty containers, explosives and electric vehicle batteries.
Arrange it
Take the material to a Home Chemical and Recycling Center during its published hours. The closest to Boca Raton is the Southwest County Transfer Station at 13400 S State Road 7 in Delray Beach, with a staffed center open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Keep products in their original containers with the lids tight, never mix chemicals, and transport the material upright in the trunk or truck bed.

See the county hazardous waste rules

City of Boca Raton Sanitation Services Division

Authorized hauler for construction and demolition debris

A renovation, roofing, deck, shed or demolition project that generates construction and demolition debris inside the city limits.

Cost & conditions
The City requires an authorized franchised hauler for construction and demolition debris inside the city limits and publishes no City rate, so each franchised company quotes its own price. A load hauled directly to a county transfer station is weighed on entry and exit and charged the published tipping fee.
Arrange it
Choose a company from the City's authorized construction and demolition hauler list, or haul the load to a county transfer station where the vehicle and load are weighed.

The City refuses construction and demolition debris at the curb, so it cannot go out with garbage, recycling, vegetation or the weekly bulk collection.

See the authorized construction haulers

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Boca Raton runs its own weekly routes, so a household hauls only what those routes refuse. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to a county Home Chemical and Recycling Center at no cost to county residents, and the closest is the Southwest County Transfer Station at 13400 S State Road 7 in Delray Beach, open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The City does not take tires and the county chemical centers refuse them too, so the county authority at 866-792-4636 is the contact for tire instructions, and hypodermic needles go through the Palm Beach County Health Department South Center at 561-274-3100. Construction and demolition debris has no City collection, so the load needs an authorized franchised hauler or a self-haul trip to a transfer station where it is weighed. Vegetation over the City's limb limits is cut to size, taken to the county, or collected through the Pay for Pickup option.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Boca Raton?

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 is household garbage collected in Boca Raton?

Twice a week for single-family homes inside the city limits, on the address's published route. Put the container at the edge of the driveway or swale area no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and take it in within 12 hours after collection.Official guidance

What is refused in the Boca Raton garbage container?

Garbage that is not in the City-issued container is not collected, and neither is construction and demolition debris, hazardous products, paint, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, tires, vegetation or anything mixed with another stream. If a violation notice is left, the material has to come off the swale within 12 hours.Official guidance

What counts as a bulk item in Boca Raton?

The published list names furniture and bicycles, along with televisions and white goods such as refrigerators, washers and dryers. They are collected once a week from single-family residences on the same day as recycling and vegetation.Official guidance

What happens if the bulk pile is larger than two cubic yards?

The City states that bulk items larger than two cubic yards need the Pay for Pickup option, which is arranged in advance with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367. Only acceptable, non-hazardous material can be taken on that option.Official guidance

Can exercise equipment go out with bulk waste?

Exercise equipment is not named on the published bulk list, which covers furniture, bicycles, televisions and white goods. Call the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367 and describe the machine before it goes to the swale, because the answer depends on the item and its size.Official guidance

Will Boca Raton collect a mattress at the curb?

The published bulk list does not name mattresses directly. It names furniture, bicycles, televisions and white goods such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, collected once a week from single-family residences, so confirm the mattress with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367 before it goes to the swale.Official guidance

Which appliances are collected as white goods in Boca Raton?

The published list names refrigerators, washers and dryers as white goods, collected with bulk waste once a week from single-family residences. Keep the unit out of the garbage container and off the vegetation pile.Official guidance

Do appliance doors have to come off before pickup?

Yes. The City asks residents to remove or secure refrigerator doors, and washer and dryer doors as well, for safety before the unit goes to the swale.Official guidance

Is there a separate charge for a refrigerator?

No separate refrigerant charge is published. The refrigerator is named as a white good on the weekly bulk collection, which is part of the residential sanitation service billed to the address, and the Pay for Pickup option applies to piles over two cubic yards or collections on an unscheduled day. Confirm the current arrangement at 561-416-3367.Official guidance

Where do televisions and electronics go in Boca Raton?

Televisions are named on the City's bulk list, so they can go out with the weekly bulk collection, and the City also encourages recycling old electronics including computers, monitors and stereos at a county transfer station. The closest is the Southwest County Transfer Station at 13400 S State Road 7 in Delray Beach.Official guidance

Is the county electronics drop-off free?

Yes. The county authority states that Palm Beach County residents can drop household hazardous waste and electronics at its Home Chemical and Recycling Centers at no cost, with small businesses paying a fee instead.Official guidance

Can electronics go in the garbage container?

No. Electronics belong on the bulk route or at a county drop-off, and the City keeps them out of the garbage container, the recycling bins and the vegetation pile. A loose lithium or rechargeable battery never goes in the trash either.Official guidance

Will Boca Raton take construction debris at the curb?

No. The City states that it will not collect construction and demolition debris, and the City code requires an authorized franchised hauler for that material generated inside the city limits. The City website lists the currently authorized construction and demolition haulers.Official guidance

Which materials are refused with bulk waste?

The published list includes asphalt and tar, bathtubs, sinks and toilets, cabinetry, carpeting and rugs, concrete, construction and demolition debris, decking and fencing, drywall, flooring, glass and mirrors, land clearing debris, lawn maintenance equipment, logs and lumber, metal and metal pipes, paint, pallets, paver blocks and stepping stones, pool parts and equipment, rocks, sand, soil and sod, roofing material, sheds, tile, tires, tree stumps, and wood and railroad ties.Official guidance

What changes in a shared or multi-family building?

Bulk item collection is published for single-family residences, so a household in a multi-family building should confirm the building's arrangement with the Sanitation Division at 561-416-3367 before setting anything out. Keep shared access clear and use an approved outdoor spot for anything being carried out from inside.Official guidance

Can household hazardous waste go to the curb?

No. The City says never to put a product labelled corrosive, flammable, toxic or reactive at the curb, and the county authority states there is no curbside collection for household hazardous waste at all. Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, propane cylinders, motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, batteries and electronics go instead to a county Home Chemical and Recycling Center, the closest being the Southwest County Transfer Station at 13400 S State Road 7 in Delray Beach.Official guidance

What counts as household hazardous waste in Boca Raton?

Acids and caustics, adhesives, antifreeze, car and marine batteries, rechargeable and lithium batteries, bleach and chlorine, paint and solvents, pesticides and fertilizers, pool chemicals, propane tanks, motor oil, fluorescent tubes and other mercury devices, and medicines. The county centers refuse prescription medicines and direct residents to a Pill Drop site, and alkaline household batteries are not treated as hazardous, so they can go in the regular garbage.Official guidance

How do I get rid of tires in Boca Raton?

Tires are on the unacceptable materials list, so the weekly bulk collection will not take them, and the county Home Chemical and Recycling Centers refuse them as well. The City directs residents to the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County at 866-792-4636 for tire disposal guidelines.Official guidance

What happens to collection on a holiday?

The City publishes a holiday sanitation schedule and sends text or email alerts for the changes, and it states that regularly scheduled services resume before or after the next scheduled day when a pickup falls on a holiday. Check the published schedule for the specific holiday rather than assuming the route shifts by a fixed number of days.Official guidance
