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.

Bulk junk removal in Kennesaw: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Paid bulk material collection

Accepted with preparation

Bulk material is collected for an additional fee that depends on the item, its size, its weight and the collection time, and it is scheduled with Public Works.

City cost & eligibility
The city states that bulk collection is available for an additional fee and that the price is based on the item, size, weight and collection time required, but it publishes no list of amounts, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the quote. Prepayment is required before the pickup, and there is no refund if an item is removed or scavenged before the crew arrives.
When & how
Call Public Works at 770-421-8582 to schedule the pickup, pay in advance, and set the material out for the arranged day.
Get it ready
The city's examples are mattresses, domestic appliances and commercial appliances, and it describes the list as not limited to those items, so an unusual piece should be described on the call. Keep hazardous material, electronics and tires out of the pile, because those route through Cobb County programs instead.
City sanitation and recycling page with the weekly trash days, the 95 gallon container, the Republic recycling service, the yard waste limits, the holiday rules, the account requirement, the ban on private haulers, the bulk waste fee description and the Public Works contact

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Special rules apply

Furniture is not named in the city's bulk examples and is refused at the Cobb County events, so the piece has to be quoted through Public Works or taken to the county transfer station.

City cost & eligibility
The city's bulk list gives mattresses and appliances as examples and says it is not limited to them, but it does not name furniture, and the Cobb County community recycling events refuse furniture and refer it to the Cobb County Transfer Station on County Services Road, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the city quote or the transfer station at 770-485-8940 for its fees.
When & how
Ask Public Works first, and if the piece is not taken through the city, call the Cobb County Transfer Station for its hours and fees before loading.
Get it ready
Describe the piece accurately when asking for the quote, keep it out of the recycling and yard waste, and consider donation for a usable couch, because the county events refuse furniture outright and the transfer station charges by its own schedule.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress is the first example the city gives for its paid bulk collection, so it leaves on a scheduled pickup with a quoted fee.

City cost & eligibility
A mattress is named in the city's bulk list, and the fee depends on the item, size, weight and collection time rather than a published rate, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the quote and pay in advance. There is no refund if the mattress is taken before the crew arrives.
When & how
Call Public Works at 770-421-8582 to schedule and prepay, then set the mattress out for the arranged pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the recycling and yard waste streams, and keep it off the curb until the appointment is paid for and scheduled.

Appliances and metal

Accepted with preparation

Domestic and commercial appliances are named in the city's paid bulk list, and Cobb County recycling events also take appliances and scrap metal.

City cost & eligibility
An appliance is named in the city's bulk list and is priced by the item, its size, its weight and the collection time, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the quote with prepayment required. Cobb County's community recycling events are another route and take stoves and ovens, washers and dryers, water heaters, refrigerators, grills and lawn equipment, with their own terms at registration.
When & how
Schedule the city pickup at 770-421-8582, or register for a Cobb County community recycling event to drop the appliance and any scrap metal off.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure or remove the doors so nothing can be trapped inside, and keep refrigerant units out of a mixed pile you are self hauling, since the county event route is the published one for appliances.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Electronics are refused in the curbside program and route through a Cobb County community recycling event, where a CRT television or monitor costs ten dollars cash.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the published cash charge for each CRT television or CRT monitor at a Cobb County community recycling event. Flat screen televisions, flat screen monitors, computer monitors, computer CPUs, disk drives, hard drives, video machines, telephones, cell phones, CD players, stereos, cameras, portable radios, cables and cords, circuit boards, testing and networking equipment, microwave ovens and gaming systems are accepted at the events, with a 10.00 cash charge for each CRT television and each CRT monitor. Registration opens before the event, and the next one is on November 14.
When & how
Register for the next Cobb County community recycling event and bring the devices on the day, because Kennesaw's curbside program lists electronics as a material it cannot recycle.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer, phone or drive is handed over, keep electronics out of the recycling cart and the bulky pile, and bring cash if a tube television or monitor is in the load, because those two categories are charged separately.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named by the city or the county pages, so the machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.

City cost & eligibility
No published list names an exercise machine and the city's bulk pricing depends on the item, size, weight and collection time, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 and ask whether the machine is taken on a priced bulk pickup or whether it needs the Cobb County Transfer Station.
When & how
Call Public Works first, and set the machine out only once the pickup is scheduled and paid for.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it so the item can be priced accurately, and keep it out of the recycling and yard waste.

Construction and demolition material

Special rules apply

Construction material is refused at the Cobb County recycling events and referred to the county transfer station, and the city publishes no construction rate.

City cost & eligibility
The Cobb County events refuse construction material and list the Cobb County Transfer Station at 1897 County Services Road in Marietta, phone 770-485-8940, as the route with fees and hours given by phone, and Kennesaw publishes no construction rate of its own, so confirm both the destination and the price before hauling.
When & how
Call the transfer station for its hours and fees, or ask Public Works at 770-421-8582 whether a small amount fits a priced bulk pickup, before the load leaves the site.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the curbside container and out of the yard waste pile, and separate clean metal and appliances where possible because those have their own routes through the county events.

Tires

Special rules apply

Tires are not accepted at the Cobb hazardous waste event, and the county's two pages disagree about whether the community recycling events take them.

City cost & eligibility
The Cobb County hazardous waste event page lists tires as not accepted and refers them to the community recycling events, while the community recycling events page does not list tires among its accepted items, so call Cobb County at 770-485-8940 or Kennesaw Public Works at 770-421-8582 to confirm the current route and price before moving a tire.
When & how
Confirm the route by phone first, then take the tire to whichever site the county confirms.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the curbside container, the recycling cart and the bulky pile, and keep them away from the household hazardous waste load, because that event refuses them outright.

Paint, chemicals, batteries and other hazardous products

Accepted with preparation

Household hazardous products go to the Cobb County annual event at Jim Miller Park, and the city tells residents how to dry out a paint can for the trash instead.

City cost & eligibility
The Cobb County event page publishes the date, the hours and the accepted materials but no fee, so register through the county page and confirm any charge when the registration is made. The city's own paint guidance is for drying a can out with sand or cat litter and putting it in the trash rather than a hazardous waste drop off.
When & how
Register for the Cobb County household hazardous waste event, next held October 17, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, and take the material then.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers and never mix them. Accepted material includes antifreeze, diesel, used or unused oil, oil filters, brake and transmission fluid, auto and boat batteries, batteries of any type, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, aerosols, fire extinguishers, pool chemicals, propane and compressed gas cylinders, fluorescent lamp ballasts, light bulbs and tubes, mercury switches, thermometers and thermostats, cooking oil and grease, drain openers, and latex and oil based paint with thinners, stripper, lacquer, stain and mineral spirits. Electronics and tires are not accepted there.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

A bulk item is scheduled and prepaid

Bulk material such as a mattress or an appliance is scheduled with Public Works at 770-421-8582, prepaid before the pickup, and priced by the item, its size, its weight and the collection time. There is no refund if the item is removed or scavenged before the crew arrives, so keep it out of sight until the pickup day.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Kennesaw runs its own sanitation service: trash once a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday routes with a city supplied 95 gallon container, curbside recycling every other week through Republic Services at no additional charge, and yard trimmings on the same day as the trash inside a 15 bag or three container limit with material cut to four feet or less. Everything goes out by 7 a.m., the account has to be in the property owner's name, and private haulers are barred from working inside the city. Bulk material such as a mattress or an appliance is collected for an additional fee that depends on the item, its size, its weight and the collection time, scheduled through Public Works at 770-421-8582 with prepayment required and no refund if the item disappears before the crew arrives. Electronics and household chemicals leave the city. Cobb County holds its household hazardous waste event once a year, next on October 17, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, taking paint and thinners, automotive fluids, batteries of any type, propane and compressed gas cylinders, garden chemicals, pool chemicals, light bulbs, mercury devices and cooking oil, with registration through the county page.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Kennesaw?

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 much does a bulk pickup cost in Kennesaw?

The city charges an additional fee that depends on the item, its size, its weight and the collection time required, and it publishes no price list, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the quote. Prepayment is required before pickup, and there is no refund if the item is taken by someone else before the crew arrives.Official guidance

What does Kennesaw take as bulk waste?

The city's examples are mattresses, domestic appliances and commercial appliances, and it says the list includes but is not limited to those items, so call 770-421-8582 to confirm anything unusual. Electronics, tires and household chemicals leave through Cobb County programs rather than the city bulk route.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a couch in Kennesaw?

Ask Public Works at 770-421-8582 whether the couch is taken on a priced bulk pickup, because the city names mattresses and appliances as its examples rather than furniture. The Cobb County community recycling events refuse furniture and point residents at the Cobb County Transfer Station at 1897 County Services Road in Marietta, 770-485-8940, where fees and hours are given by phone.Official guidance

Will Kennesaw take a mattress?

Yes, on the city's paid bulk collection. Mattresses are the first example the city gives, the fee depends on the item, size, weight and collection time, and the pickup is scheduled with Public Works at 770-421-8582 with prepayment required.Official guidance

Where can I take an appliance in Kennesaw?

Either schedule the city's paid bulk pickup through Public Works at 770-421-8582, where the fee depends on the item, size, weight and collection time, or register for a Cobb County community recycling event, which accepts stoves and ovens, washers and dryers, water heaters, refrigerators, grills, lawn equipment and scrap metal.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Kennesaw?

To a Cobb County community recycling event, because Kennesaw's curbside program lists electronics among the materials it cannot recycle. Flat screen televisions and monitors are accepted, and each CRT television or CRT monitor carries a 10.00 cash charge. The next event is November 14 with registration opening in early October.Official guidance

Will Kennesaw take a treadmill?

Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulk examples or in the Cobb County event lists, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 and ask whether the machine is taken on a priced bulk pickup. The county's community recycling events accept lawn mowers, which is the closest named item, but not furniture or general household goods.Official guidance

Where does construction debris go near Kennesaw?

The Cobb County community recycling events refuse construction material and refer residents to the Cobb County Transfer Station at 1897 County Services Road in Marietta, phone 770-485-8940, where fees and hours are given by phone. Kennesaw publishes no construction rate, so confirm the route with Public Works at 770-421-8582 or the transfer station before hauling.Official guidance

Can I take tires to a Cobb County event?

The household hazardous waste event page lists tires as not accepted and refers them to the community recycling events, but the events page does not list tires among the items it accepts, so call Cobb County at 770-485-8940 or Kennesaw Public Works at 770-421-8582 to confirm the route and the price before loading a tire.Official guidance

When is the Cobb County hazardous waste event?

The next household hazardous waste event is October 17, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, and registration goes through the county page. It takes paint and thinners, automotive fluids, batteries, propane and compressed gas cylinders, garden chemicals, pool chemicals, light bulbs, mercury devices and cooking oil, while electronics and tires are not accepted there.Official guidance

How do I throw out a paint can?

Kennesaw's own guidance is for an ordinary paint can rather than a full one: pour sand or cat litter into the can, mix it with the paint, put the lid securely on, and place the dried can in the trash. Leftover liquid paint goes to the Cobb County household hazardous waste event instead.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Kennesaw?

The city's Public Works sanitation division. Trash runs once a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday routes, recycling comes every other week through Republic Services at no additional charge, and yard waste goes out on the trash day. Service starts through Utility Billing at 678-460-2850, and private haulers are not permitted inside the city under Section 74-29 of the City Code.Official guidance

What does a bulk pickup cost?

The city charges an additional fee that depends on the item, its size, its weight and the collection time required, with no published price list, so call Public Works at 770-421-8582 for the quote. Prepayment is required before the pickup, and there is no refund if the item is removed or scavenged before the crew arrives.Official guidance

Where do electronics go?

To a Cobb County community recycling event, because Kennesaw's curbside programs list electronics as a material they cannot recycle. The events take flat screen televisions and monitors, computers, cell phones, stereos, cables, circuit boards and more, and each CRT television or CRT monitor carries a 10.00 cash charge. The next event is November 14, with registration opening in early October.Official guidance

Where do paint and chemicals go?

To the Cobb County household hazardous waste event, next on October 17, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, with registration through the county page. It takes paint, thinners, oils, antifreeze, batteries, propane cylinders, garden chemicals, pool chemicals, mercury devices and light bulbs, and it refuses electronics and tires. An ordinary paint can can also be dried out with sand or cat litter and placed in the trash.Official guidance

What about furniture and construction material?

Neither is a clean fit in the published routes. The city's bulk examples are mattresses and appliances with the price quoted by Public Works at 770-421-8582, and the Cobb County events refuse furniture, household fixtures, plumbing fixtures and construction material and refer them to the Cobb County Transfer Station at 1897 County Services Road in Marietta, 770-485-8940, where fees and hours are given by phone.Official guidance
