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.

Reviewed · Sources below

Couches, furniture and other large items

Accepted with preparation

Anything that will not fit inside the 95-gallon cart counts as a large item, and the city ordinance names couches, sofas, love seats, chairs, desks and tables along with other pieces over 50 pounds. The city collects these at the curb, but the pickup has to be arranged ahead of time and the item needs a large item tag.

City cost & eligibility
$25 per large item scheduled for curbside pickup. City of Acworth sanitation accounts inside the city limits. The charge is added to the next sanitation bill when the pickup is booked, and customer service confirms how many tags a multi-piece set needs.
When & how
Large item pickups run on Thursdays and have to be scheduled with customer service at least one business day in advance. Call 770-917-8903 to book the pickup and get the tag.
Get it ready
Place the item at the curb away from mailboxes, trees and utility boxes so it does not block the sidewalk or the roadway, and display the large item pickup tag in plain view on the item. Keep the set-out to household pieces from your own address, and expect a multi-piece set to need more than one tag.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses of any size and box springs are named as large items in the city ordinance, so they go out with the scheduled large item collection rather than in the cart. The city also asks that bedding be stacked neatly at the curb.

City cost & eligibility
$25 per mattress or box spring scheduled for curbside pickup. City of Acworth sanitation accounts inside the city limits. The charge is applied per item, so a mattress and its box spring set out together are counted separately and customer service confirms how many tags the pickup needs.
When & how
Book the pickup with customer service at 770-917-8903 at least one business day before the Thursday large item run.
Get it ready
Stack the mattress and box spring neatly at the curb away from mailboxes, trees and utility boxes, and put the large item tag where the crew can see it. Keep the bedding dry until the truck arrives.

Appliances, washers and dryers

Special rules apply

Large appliances are on the city list, which covers washing machines, dryers, automatic dishwashers and refrigerators. A cooling appliance needs one extra step first, because a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner has to have its refrigerant withdrawn and the unit tagged by a certified technician before the crew will take it.

City cost & eligibility
$25 per appliance scheduled for curbside pickup. City of Acworth sanitation accounts inside the city limits. A unit that holds refrigerant has to be certified as degassed before collection, and the Cobb County transfer station adds its own handling charge if you take the appliance there instead.
When & how
Large items are collected on Thursdays, so call customer service at 770-917-8903 at least one business day ahead to book the pickup and collect the tag.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure or remove the doors, and set it at the curb with the large item tag in plain view. For a refrigerator, freezer or any unit with a sealed cooling system, arrange for a certified technician to withdraw the refrigerant and tag the unit before the pickup date.
Ordinance 2021-29, Chapter 78 Solid WasteSanitationDoes the City pick up large items?

Televisions and screens

Special rules apply

Televisions are not named in the city large item list, so the route depends on the size of the set. A television that will not fit wholly inside the 95-gallon cart meets the ordinance definition of a large item and goes out with a scheduled pickup, while a small set can go in the cart with the household garbage.

City cost & eligibility
A television is not on the city's published large item list, so the charge depends on whether customer service treats the set as one large item at the per-item rate or as regular household waste. Call 770-917-8903 to confirm before the pickup. At the Cobb County transfer station a television is not part of the electronics recycling drop and is charged as regular waste instead.
When & how
Confirm the set counts as one large item with customer service at 770-917-8903, then book the Thursday pickup at least one business day ahead.
Get it ready
Keep the unit whole and dry, set it at the curb with the large item tag in plain view, and leave the stand and cables off so the crew handles a single item.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the ordinance, but a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine that will not fit in the 95-gallon cart, or that weighs more than 50 pounds, falls under the general large item definition. Confirm the item with customer service before you set it out.

City cost & eligibility
Acworth prices large items per item, but exercise equipment is not on the published list, so call 770-917-8903 to confirm the item, the tag and the charge before the Thursday pickup. A machine that will not fit the cart and weighs over 50 pounds matches the general large item definition.
When & how
Call customer service at 770-917-8903 to confirm the item is accepted, then book the Thursday pickup at least one business day ahead.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it, keep the pieces together as one item, and set it at the curb with the large item tag in plain view, away from mailboxes, trees and utility boxes.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Schedule first, then tag the item

Large items need a booked pickup and a tag. Call customer service at 770-917-8903 at least one business day before the Thursday run, collect the large item pickup tag, and display it in plain view on the item. Place items at the curb away from mailboxes, trees and utility boxes so the pile does not block the sidewalk or the roadway.

Acworth sanitation and large item pickup

Taking it somewhere yourself?

The drop-off for the things Acworth curbside crews will not take is the Cobb County transfer station at 1897 County Services Parkway in Marietta, where household waste, construction and demolition debris, electronics, mattresses, tires and refrigerant appliances are all accepted at the scale house. Bring a valid Georgia driver's license, because that is the only proof of Cobb County residence the station accepts, and expect extra handling charges on top of the weight charge for electronics, tires, propane tanks, paint and refrigerated units. Yard debris goes to a separate vegetative waste site on the same parkway. Cobb County also runs recycling drop areas for paper, cardboard, cans, cartons and plastics, but those bins do not take electronics, furniture, mattresses, tires or hazardous material.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Acworth?

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.

Will the city take a couch or sofa from the curb?

Yes. A sofa, couch, love seat, chair, desk or table that will not fit in the 95-gallon cart is collected as a large item. Call customer service at 770-917-8903 at least one business day ahead to book the Thursday pickup and get the tag, then set the piece at the curb with the tag in plain view.Official guidance

Can a mattress go out with the city collection?

Yes. A mattress of any size and a box spring are large items under the city ordinance. Book a Thursday large item pickup with customer service at least one business day ahead, attach the tag, and stack the bedding neatly at the curb so the crew can reach it.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a washer, dryer or refrigerator?

A washer, dryer or dishwasher goes out as a large item with a Thursday pickup booked through customer service. A refrigerator or freezer needs its refrigerant withdrawn and the unit tagged by a certified technician first, so line that up before you set it at the curb.Official guidance

Can the city pick up a television?

A television that will not fit inside the 95-gallon cart can go out as a large item once customer service confirms it, so call 770-917-8903 and book a Thursday pickup with a tag. Smaller sets go in the cart with the household garbage. The county transfer station does not recycle televisions, so a dropped-off set is charged as regular waste.Official guidance

Will the city collect a treadmill or other exercise equipment?

A treadmill or weight machine that will not fit in the 95-gallon cart, or that weighs over 50 pounds, fits the general large item definition. Call 770-917-8903 first to confirm the item is accepted, then book the Thursday pickup and attach the tag.Official guidance

What does a large item pickup cost in Acworth?

The city applies a set charge for each large item scheduled for curbside pickup, and the amount is added to your next sanitation bill. The charge is per item, so a mattress and its box spring set out together are counted separately. Call customer service at 770-917-8903 to confirm the count before the Thursday pickup. Taking the same item to the Cobb County transfer station is a separate charge that the station sets by weight and by item.Official guidance

Which day is my Acworth collection day?

Garbage and yard waste are collected once a week on a day set for your address when the account is opened, and the city address map shows the day for a specific home. Large item pickups run on Thursdays and have to be booked with customer service at least one business day in advance. After a city holiday the route slides by one business day.Official guidance

Does a refrigerator need anything done before pickup?

Yes. An appliance that holds refrigerant has to have it withdrawn and the unit properly tagged by a certified technician before the city crew will take it. Line that up first, then schedule the Thursday large item pickup with customer service and attach the large item tag.Official guidance
