You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

Bulk waste is picked up once a week with the regular collection, and the City names refrigerators, appliances, toilets and sinks among the items it takes.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no separate bulk waste rate and the collection is part of the franchised service billed to the household, so confirm the amount, the item and the collection day with Waste Management on 561-471-6110.
When & how
Once a week along with the household and yard waste collection, with the same set out window: nothing at the curb before noon the day before, and everything out by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Set the bulk items out at the same time as the household material so one visit covers the load, and keep them clear of the containers so the crew can reach both. Large appliance doors have to be removed, which the City states is required by law, and a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner still holding gas should be discussed with Waste Management before it goes out because the City publishes no degassing step. Paint cans, pesticides, pool chemicals, engine oil, tires, auto parts and construction or demolition debris are not part of the bulk collection.
A mattress is not named in the City bulk examples or by the hauler, so the piece has to be confirmed before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no rate for bedding and does not name a mattress among its bulk examples, which are refrigerators, washers and dryers, toilets and sinks. Confirm the piece, the collection day and any charge with Waste Management on 561-471-6110 before the mattress goes to the curb.
When & how
If the mattress is accepted it goes out with the weekly bulk schedule, no earlier than noon the day before collection and at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrap it so it can be lifted without debris falling out, and set it out with the rest of the bulk load rather than on its own. Ask when you call whether a box spring, an adjustable base or a bed frame counts as the same item or as separate pieces.
Refrigerators and laundry appliances are named in the weekly bulk collection, and the City requires the large appliance doors to be removed.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no separate appliance rate and the pickup is part of the franchised weekly bulk service, so confirm the item, the collection day and any amount with Waste Management on 561-471-6110. An appliance taken to a Solid Waste Authority facility instead is charged by weight under the published tipping fee schedule.
When & how
With the weekly bulk collection, no earlier than noon the day before and at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Remove the door from a refrigerator, freezer or other large appliance, which the City states is required by law, and empty the unit completely before it goes out. Ask Waste Management whether a unit that still holds refrigerant needs anything done first, because the City publishes no degassing or tagging step for a curbside appliance.
Electronic waste is refused in the curbside program, and the Solid Waste Authority takes electronics free from county households at its Home Chemical and Recycling Centers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Palm Beach County residents at the Solid Waste Authority Home Chemical and Recycling Centers, free for electronics along with household hazardous waste, batteries, fluorescent tubes and mercury devices. Small businesses pay for hazardous waste drop off under the very small quantity generator program, and electric vehicle batteries are not accepted at all.
When & how
Take the device to a Home Chemical and Recycling Center. The center on N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sunday, with other Saturdays self service drop off only, and there is no curbside collection of hazardous waste or electronic waste anywhere in the county.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the garbage and the recycling bin, because the hauler lists electronic waste as non acceptable in the trash container. Batteries should be treated separately: alkaline batteries may go in the garbage, while lithium button, single use and rechargeable batteries have to be taken to a center, and the terminals should be protected in transit. Keep products upright in the trunk or truck bed and never mix chemicals.
Construction and demolition debris is refused in the curbside program and goes to a Solid Waste Authority permitted recycling facility or the landfill drop off center.
City cost & eligibility
From $80 for the published per ton tipping fee for construction debris and large vegetation at Solid Waste Authority facilities, with a published per cubic yard rate and a minimum charge on the same schedule. Anyone delivering to a Solid Waste Authority facility, with cash, credit card or an approved charge account at the scale house and a refundable deposit while the load is weighed. Mixed loads are charged at the higher waste category rate, and construction debris from outside the county carries a separate rate.
When & how
The permitted recycling facilities and the Customer Convenience Drop-Off Center at the North County Landfill take material on the Authority's posted days, with the landfill complex open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and every facility closed Sundays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The transfer stations run shorter Saturday hours.
Get it ready
Separate the material where the job site allows it, because recovered metals, cardboard, concrete and lumber are processed for reuse and a mixed load is priced at the higher category. A load going to a transfer station or one of the renewable energy facilities must be free of concrete, block, brick, tile, steel, rebar, roofing material, construction lumber, trusses, pallets, dirt, fill, sod and stumps, because those go to the landfill instead. Cover the load for transport, since a load that is not secured draws an added fee.
Exercise equipment is named neither by the City nor by the hauler, so the machine is confirmed before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no rate for an item it does not name. Exercise equipment is not in the City bulk examples, which are refrigerators, washers and dryers, toilets and sinks, so call Waste Management on 561-471-6110 and confirm whether the machine is accepted and what it counts as before it goes out.
When & how
Confirm with Waste Management first, then use the weekly bulk schedule, with nothing out before noon the day before and everything at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Describe the machine when you call, including whether it folds down and how much curb space it takes, and take off any loose weights or console so the crew can handle it. Break down what comes apart and keep the pieces together in one pile rather than setting them out on separate days.
The City sets the outside limit at noon on the day preceding collection, and the collection window itself runs from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Household and yard waste has to be curbside by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day. Waste Management asks that the container sit on the street with the wheels against the curb, bags less than six feet from the curb, and the container at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles, then be brought back in the same day.
Household trash goes in a trash can or a tied plastic bag, with the can no larger than 45 gallons, and each can or bag must stay at or under 50 pounds. Yard waste follows the same shape: sturdy tied plastic bags or a 45 gallon can for grass, leaves and twigs, and tied bundles for branches, limbs and palm fronds. Overflow and anything outside the container is not collected.
The City requires the removal of large appliance doors and states that this is required by law, so a refrigerator, freezer or oven door comes off before the unit goes to the curb and the appliance is emptied of food, water, dishes and clothes. Ask Waste Management about a unit that still holds refrigerant, because the City publishes no degassing step for the curbside pickup.
Paint cans, pesticides, pool chemicals, engine oil, tires, auto parts and construction or demolition debris are refused curbside, and so are medical and electronic waste and household hazardous waste in the trash. They go to a Solid Waste Authority Home Chemical and Recycling Center or the Customer Convenience Drop-Off Center at the North County Landfill instead, where county households drop hazardous waste free and a self haul load is weighed and charged under the published fee schedule.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Palm Beach Gardens Solid Waste Services with Waste Management, Inc. and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County
The franchised Waste Management collection
Any household in the city with weekly garbage, recycling, vegetative waste or a bulky item to clear.
Cost & conditions
The City publishes no residential rate for the franchised collection, so confirm the amount and the collection day with Waste Management on 561-471-6110 or through City Solid Waste Services on 561-804-7034.
Arrange it
Call Waste Management to confirm the pickup days for the address, then follow the City set out rules: nothing before noon the day before, everything curbside by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day, containers back in the same day.
The curbside program refuses paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, engine oil, tires, auto parts, construction and demolition debris, and medical or electronic waste, all of which go to the Solid Waste Authority instead.
A household or contractor with a renovation load, or with material the curbside program will not take.
Cost & conditions
The City publishes no private hauler rate, so confirm the container size, the material, the pickup window and the price directly with the company, and ask where the load is going because mixed loads are priced at the higher waste category at Authority facilities.
Arrange it
Describe the material and where it will be staged, separate what can be separated, and confirm the destination before the container is delivered.
Construction and demolition debris is refused in the curbside collections, so this route replaces the weekly pickup rather than adding to it, and the material has to go to a permitted recycling facility or the Authority landfill.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Palm Beach Gardens.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Palm Beach Gardens?+
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.
When is bulk waste collected?+
Once a week, on the same schedule as the household and yard waste collection. The City lists bulk waste such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, toilets and sinks as a weekly pickup, with nothing set out before noon the day before and everything at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.Official guidance
What does the bulk collection leave behind?+
Paint cans, pesticides, pool chemicals, engine oil, tires, auto parts and construction or demolition debris. The City directs all of those to the Solid Waste Authority instead, and the hauler separately refuses construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste and medical or electronic waste in the trash container.Official guidance
Will the hauler take a mattress?+
The City names refrigerators, washers and dryers, toilets and sinks as its bulk examples and does not name bedding, so confirm the mattress with Waste Management on 561-471-6110 before it goes to the curb. If it is accepted it rides with the weekly bulk collection.Official guidance
What has to be done to a large appliance?+
The door comes off. The City requires the removal of large appliance doors, states that this is required by law, and lists refrigerators alongside washers and dryers in the weekly bulk collection. The unit is emptied first, and refrigerant handling should be confirmed with Waste Management because the City publishes no degassing step.Official guidance
Where do electronics go in the city?+
To a Solid Waste Authority Home Chemical and Recycling Center rather than the curb. The hauler lists electronic waste as non acceptable in the trash container, and the Authority takes electronics free from Palm Beach County households at its seven centers, including the one on N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach.Official guidance
Which batteries can go in the trash?+
Only alkaline batteries may safely go in the garbage. Lithium batteries, whether button, single use or rechargeable, have to be taken to a Home Chemical and Recycling Center or another drop off location, and electric vehicle batteries are not accepted at any Authority facility, so a dealer handles those.Official guidance
Where does construction debris go?+
Not to the curb. The City refuses construction and demolition debris in its curbside services and directs residents to the Solid Waste Authority, which routes separated material to permitted recycling facilities and mixed loads to a permitted facility or the Customer Convenience Drop-Off Center at the North County Landfill.Official guidance
What cannot go to a transfer station?+
Concrete, block, brick, tile, steel, rebar, roofing material, construction lumber, trusses, pallets, dirt, fill, sod and stumps are refused at the transfer stations and the renewable energy facilities, so those loads go to the landfill. The Authority also charges a mixed load at the higher waste category rate.Official guidance
Does the hauler take exercise equipment?+
It is not named in the City bulk examples or in the hauler material lists, so call Waste Management on 561-471-6110 and describe the machine before setting it out. If it is accepted it goes with the weekly bulk collection alongside the rest of the load.Official guidance
Who handles collection in the city?+
Waste Management, Inc. holds the exclusive franchise for solid waste, yard waste and recycling collection in Palm Beach Gardens, and its customer line is 561-471-6110. The City's Solid Waste Services group manages the franchise agreement, provides customer service and handles contract oversight for roughly 28,000 residential and commercial customers.Official guidance
How do I find my pickup days?+
Call Waste Management on 561-471-6110, which the City names as the number for pickup days for garbage, recycling, vegetative waste and bulk pickups. The City also notes that the recycle bins themselves come from the Solid Waste Authority on 866-NEW-BINS.Official guidance
Which holidays change collection?+
Waste Management does not collect on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day and serves every other holiday as normal, and a collection that falls on one of those two days moves to the next scheduled service day. The Solid Waste Authority closes its facilities on Sundays, Thanksgiving and Christmas as well.Official guidance
Who do I call at the City about a collection problem?+
Public Works carries Solid Waste Services among its activities, and its office is at 4050 Johnson Dairy Road on 561-804-7034, with the email inbox monitored on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For a missed pickup or a service question, Waste Management on 561-471-6110 is the first call.Official guidance
Where is the hazardous waste drop off?+
