Couch & furniture removal in McDonough

City collection The city does not publish a furniture list, so a couch rides on the one bulky item rule it does publish: the sanitation company services three bulk items on your service day, and each item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. A couch that meets both limits goes out with the regular service. Anything heavier, or a fourth piece in the same week, has to wait for the next week or go to the Saturday drop-off at 560 Macon Street. The city publishes one monthly sanitation rate and no separate furniture or bulk item rate, so treat the curbside route as covered until you confirm it. Call the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915 or Public Works at 678-782-6272 and ask whether the piece fits the service day bulk pickup.

Mattress & bed removal in McDonough

City collection McDonough does not name mattresses in its bulky item rule either way, so a mattress is confirmed rather than assumed. If the piece comes in under the published weight limit it can go out as one of the three bulk items on the service day. Otherwise the two established routes are the city drop-off at 560 Macon Street on the first and third Saturday, or CHaRM, which Henry County names for mattresses. The city publishes no mattress rate. Henry County lists mattresses among the items it routes to CHaRM, and CHaRM publishes its own mattress and box spring fee by size, so confirm the fee with CHaRM before loading the piece and confirm the curbside route with the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915.

Appliance pickup in McDonough

City collection Appliances are not named in the city's bulky item rule, and the published limit is a weight limit rather than a unit list, so a large appliance is a confirmation item and not a routine curbside pickup. Henry County names large appliances for CHaRM, which takes refrigerators, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and water heaters and publishes a per unit fee. The city publishes no appliance rate and no unit list. CHaRM lists large and major appliances including refrigerators, dehumidifiers and humidifiers at a per unit fee for residents, so confirm the fee and the appointment with CHaRM at 404-600-6386, and confirm whether the city will take the unit on the service day by calling 770-957-3915.

The household stream itself rides in the 90-gallon cart, and the hauler will not service anything outside the carts, so the curb pile is limited to the three accepted pieces rather than an open pile.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

McDonough runs its own sanitation programme inside the city limits, and the city names Republic Services as the company that provides it. Every resident and business inside the city is required to have the service, and the city bills it as a monthly charge on the water bill. The household stream is a 90-gallon cart and the recycling stream is a 65-gallon cart, both supplied by the city, and the hauler will not service anything outside those carts. The large item rule is compact and easy to state: three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each bulk item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. What the city will not take at the curb is equally clear, because its page says trash from construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding will not be collected. For everything the curbside route does not cover, the city opens its own drop-off site at 560 Macon Street on the first and third Saturday of each month, and Henry County sends hard-to-recycle material such as televisions, mattresses, tires and paint to CHaRM, the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, which takes them by appointment.

Couches, sofas and furniture

Special rules apply

The city does not publish a furniture list, so a couch rides on the one bulky item rule it does publish: the sanitation company services three bulk items on your service day, and each item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. A couch that meets both limits goes out with the regular service. Anything heavier, or a fourth piece in the same week, has to wait for the next week or go to the Saturday drop-off at 560 Macon Street.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes one monthly sanitation rate and no separate furniture or bulk item rate, so treat the curbside route as covered until you confirm it. Call the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915 or Public Works at 678-782-6272 and ask whether the piece fits the service day bulk pickup.
When & how
Put the piece out on the service day the city prints on the schedule you were given when the water service started, the same day the carts are collected. The city sets 6 a.m. on the pickup day as the curbside deadline for carts, so have the piece at the curb by then. If the piece will not go out that morning, the city drop-off runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first and third Saturday of each month.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the carts, because the sanitation company will not service anything outside the 90-gallon household cart and the 65-gallon recycling cart. Keep construction, remodeling and landscaping material out of the load, along with dirt, concrete, carpet and padding, because the city will not collect those. Keep sidewalks and the cart path clear for the truck.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

McDonough does not name mattresses in its bulky item rule either way, so a mattress is confirmed rather than assumed. If the piece comes in under the published weight limit it can go out as one of the three bulk items on the service day. Otherwise the two established routes are the city drop-off at 560 Macon Street on the first and third Saturday, or CHaRM, which Henry County names for mattresses.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rate. Henry County lists mattresses among the items it routes to CHaRM, and CHaRM publishes its own mattress and box spring fee by size, so confirm the fee with CHaRM before loading the piece and confirm the curbside route with the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915.
When & how
Try the service day first, because the city services three bulk items then and sets 6 a.m. on the pickup day as the curbside deadline for carts. CHaRM runs by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its Atlanta site, and the city drop-off opens on the first and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a lunch break.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and clean, because CHaRM refuses pieces that are wet, soiled or infested. CHaRM also refuses crib and baby mattresses, futons, foam toppers, air mattresses and memory foam mattresses, and requires springs, so check the piece against those conditions before booking. Leave it off the curb until the route is settled so it does not take on rain.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

Appliances are not named in the city's bulky item rule, and the published limit is a weight limit rather than a unit list, so a large appliance is a confirmation item and not a routine curbside pickup. Henry County names large appliances for CHaRM, which takes refrigerators, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and water heaters and publishes a per unit fee.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance rate and no unit list. CHaRM lists large and major appliances including refrigerators, dehumidifiers and humidifiers at a per unit fee for residents, so confirm the fee and the appointment with CHaRM at 404-600-6386, and confirm whether the city will take the unit on the service day by calling 770-957-3915.
When & how
An appliance that comes in under the published weight limit can be offered on the service day as one of the three bulk items, with carts and items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. For a unit that does not fit that route, book a CHaRM appointment for Tuesday or Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it leaves the house and keep food, liquids and loose parts out of it. Keep the appliance out of the household cart, because the hauler services only the two supplied carts. A refrigerator or freezer still holding refrigerant should be treated as a hard-to-recycle load and not put at the curb until a receiving route is confirmed.

Electronics and televisions

Special rules apply

Televisions and other electronics do not appear in the city's bulk item rule, and Henry County routes them away from the landfill instead. The county names televisions and monitors among its hard-to-recycle items and sends them to CHaRM, which charges per television or monitor and takes most other electronics, including computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, microwaves, coffee makers, cables and chargers, at no fee.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a curbside electronics route. Henry County tells residents to ask CHaRM about applicable fees, and CHaRM charges per television or monitor with no fee listed for other electronics, so confirm the item and the appointment with CHaRM at 404-600-6386 before loading the car.
When & how
CHaRM takes electronics by appointment only, with Atlanta hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no published city electronics collection day, so the appointment is the scheduling step rather than the curbside day.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, laptops, tablets and phones before handover. Remove and tape the ends of removable batteries, and keep alkaline and car batteries out of the load entirely, because CHaRM refuses both. Keep the device out of the carts, because the city hauler services only the two supplied carts.

Construction and renovation debris

Not on the regular city route

The city refuses construction and renovation material at the curb. Its sanitation page states that trash from construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding will not be collected, which puts a remodel load outside the curbside programme entirely, and the county instead routes usable building materials to the Lifecycle Building Center.

City cost & eligibility
No city rate exists because the city does not collect this material. A private provider or transfer station quotes its own price, and Henry County states that the transfer stations and landfills it lists are not owned or operated by the county and that residents should call about fees.
When & how
There is no city collection day for renovation material. Arrange a private container or a receiving site before the work starts, because the load has to leave the property on the contractor's or owner's schedule rather than the city's service day.
Get it ready
Keep dirt, concrete, carpet, padding and landscape material out of the curb pile and out of the carts, because the city names each of those as material it will not collect. Keep usable building materials separated if they are going to the Lifecycle Building Center, which the county names for building material in usable condition. Keep the load clear of the sidewalk and storm drain while it waits for a private pickup.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky item rule, so a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine is a confirmation item. If the machine comes in under the published weight limit it can go out as one of the three bulk items on the service day, and anything larger has to be arranged separately.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine rate and no unit list, so confirm the piece and the route with the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915 before it goes to the curb. A load that does not fit the bulk rule goes to a private provider, which quotes its own price.
When & how
Offer the machine on the regular service day if it fits the bulk rule, with carts and items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. The alternative window is the city drop-off on the first and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Take the console and any battery pack off the frame so they do not ride with the machine, and tape loose battery ends if the pack is a removable one. Keep the frame clear of the carts and the cart path, and keep the piece out of the recycling cart.

Bulk items and household clutter

Accepted with preparation

The city publishes one clean bulky item rule: three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. The household stream itself rides in the 90-gallon cart, and the hauler will not service anything outside the carts, so the curb pile is limited to the three accepted pieces rather than an open pile.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a monthly sanitation rate, billed on the water bill, and no separate bulk item rate, so confirm that the pieces count as the covered bulk items before setting them out. Call the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915 with the item count and an approximate weight.
When & how
Bulk items are serviced on the same service day as the carts, and the city sets 6 a.m. on the pickup day as the curbside deadline. A missed pickup caused by the hauler is rescheduled for the following Friday only. Anything that does not fit the service day can go to the city drop-off on the first and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep every piece under the published weight limit and count three pieces at most, then keep the pile out of the recycling cart and off the cart path. Keep the refused material out entirely, which the city names as construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding.

Yard waste, leaves and limbs

Accepted with preparation

Yard material has its own city route. Limbs go through the chipper service, which the city runs weekly with four zones or routes, and the rules are that limbs must be on the right-of-way, no larger than 4 inches in diameter and cut to less than 4 feet. Leaves are bagged at the curb for the garbage service before 7 a.m. on the service day. Henry County also takes yard debris at its Recycle Center.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the chipper service as a city service and no fee schedule for it, so confirm any charge with the street department at 678-782-6272 when you call about a pile. Henry County publishes no receipt fee for the Recycle Center either, so confirm that drop-off as well.
When & how
The chipper route runs on the first four days of the week, with the fifth day held as a make-up day, and a large pile gets 15 to 20 minutes. Bagged leaves go to the curb before 7 a.m. on the service day the garbage route follows. Call the street department during its 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday hours.
Get it ready
Stack limbs on the right-of-way rather than on private property, because crews do not come onto private property, and cut them to less than 4 feet with a diameter of no more than 4 inches. Keep leaves, stumps, root balls, logs over 4 inches, grass clippings, dirt, rocks and lumber out of the pile, because the chipper does not take them. Limbs a contractor cuts are the homeowner's responsibility.

Three bulk items go out on your service day, under the weight limit

McDonough keeps the large item decision simple. The sanitation company services three bulk items on your service day, and each one has to weigh less than 50 pounds, so the count and the weight are the two things to check before anything goes to the curb. The household stream rides in the 90-gallon cart and the recycling stream in the 65-gallon cart, and the hauler will not service anything outside those carts. Carts go out by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, and the city schedule you were given when the water service started shows which day that is.

The city drop-off runs the first and third Saturday of the month

When the service day will not take the load, McDonough opens its own drop-off at 560 Macon Street, the site the city calls the old Mercer Building. It runs on the first and third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closes for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., and is for City of McDonough residential customers only. The calendar notes that the site is closed on the Saturdays the city highlights, that city hall closes for listed holidays, and that the city may close the drop-off at any time during its published days or hours.

Construction, remodeling and landscape material does not go out at the curb

The city names the material that does not belong in the curbside programme: trash from construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding will not be collected. That covers a remodel load and a landscape load as well as bagged renovation debris.

City of McDonough Public Works with Republic Services, and Henry County for hard-to-recycle items

Use the city service day for up to three bulk items

A McDonough household inside the city limits with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, an exercise machine or a small pile of clutter that can be brought under the published weight limit.

Cost & conditions
$26.14 for monthly residential sanitation rate billed on the city water bill, with no separate bulk item rate published. City of McDonough residential customers inside the city limits, where the city requires sanitation service and provides the 90-gallon household cart and the 65-gallon recycling cart.
Arrange it
Set the pieces out on the service day printed on the schedule you were given when the water service started, with carts and items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. The city services three bulk items that day and does not publish an appointment step for ordinary furniture, mattress or appliance pieces.

Each bulk item has to weigh less than 50 pounds, and the hauler will not service anything outside the two supplied carts. The city does not name furniture, mattresses, appliances or exercise equipment in either what it takes or what it refuses, so an unusual or heavier piece has to be confirmed rather than assumed. Construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding are refused.

City of McDonough Public Works with Republic Services, and Henry County for hard-to-recycle items

Use the county hard-to-recycle route to CHaRM

A household with a television or monitor, a large appliance, a mattress, tires, paint or household chemicals that the curbside route does not cover.

Cost & conditions
Henry County lists the items and tells residents to ask CHaRM about applicable fees, and CHaRM publishes its own per item schedule rather than a single price, so confirm the exact item and fee with CHaRM at 404-600-6386 before booking.
Arrange it
Book an appointment with CHaRM, sort and separate the load before arrival, and pay by Venmo, credit card, debit card or Apple Pay, because the site does not accept cash. The county hard-to-recycle page lists what goes to CHaRM and what goes to the Lifecycle Building Center or to a vehicle donation programme.

The county sends paint, household chemicals, tires, televisions and monitors, mattresses, propane tanks, thermometers, smoke detectors, bulbs, CFL bulbs and toilets to CHaRM, but CHaRM refuses some of what the county lists, including propane tanks and alkaline and car batteries, so the item has to be checked against the CHaRM list before the trip.

Open the Henry County hard-to-recycle page

With a new purchase

Order a private provider for a renovation load or an over-limit pile

A household or contractor with construction or remodeling material that the city refuses, or a load larger than three bulk items under the published weight limit.

Cost & conditions
The city collects none of this material and publishes no rate for it. Henry County lists private providers and states that the transfer stations and landfills on its drop-off page are not operated by the county and that residents should call about fees, so the price is quoted by the provider.
Arrange it
Contact a private hauling company or transfer station before the work produces the debris, place the container where the truck can reach it, and have the same company collect it when the work is finished. The county page lists several providers with phone numbers for properties outside the city service, and inside the city limits the curbside programme stays with the city.

Nothing from the renovation goes out with the curbside route or into the two carts, and the city names dirt, concrete, carpet and padding as material it will not collect. Construction, remodeling and landscaping loads are refused outright.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in McDonough runs on two tracks. The county route is the one for hard to recycle material, because Henry County names televisions and monitors, mattresses, tires, paint, household chemicals, bulbs, CFL bulbs, toilets, thermometers, smoke detectors and propane tanks as items it routes to CHaRM and tells residents to ask about fees. CHaRM Atlanta is at 1110 Hill St SE, is open by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., does not take cash and refuses propane tanks and alkaline and car batteries even though the county lists them, so the item has to be checked against the CHaRM list first. For everything else, the city itself is the drop-off: 560 Macon Street, the site it calls the old Mercer Building, on the first and third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a lunch break from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., for City of McDonough residential customers only. The county also states that the transfer stations and landfills it lists nearby are not operated by the county and should be called about fees, and that yard debris and recyclables go to the Henry County Recycle Center, whose own page published no address or hours in this session, so that stop has to be confirmed before a trip.

City drop-off for trash and large items on the first and third Saturday of the month

560 Macon Street bulk item drop-off

560 Macon Street, McDonough (the site the city calls the old Mercer Building)

The city describes this as a trash and large item drop-off for its own residential customers and publishes no item level list for the site, so what a particular piece has to be checked on arrival or by phone. It is the published city alternative for material that does not go out on the service day.

City of McDonough residential customers only. The city opens the site on the first and third Saturday of each month and closes it for lunch, closes it on the Saturdays its calendar highlights, and states that it may close the drop-off at any time during the published days or hours.

First and third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

The city publishes no receipt fee for the drop-off, so confirm the charge with the City of McDonough at 770-957-3915 before loading.

Local donation site for usable furniture and housewares

Habitat for Humanity ReStore

1465 Highway 20 West, McDonough

Furniture, clothing and other housewares in good condition. Henry County lists the store among the local places to donate furniture, clothing and housewares rather than sending them for disposal.

The county says to call beforehand to ask which items are accepted, and its listing does not state whether the store takes mattresses, so a mattress should not be taken here without checking first. The listing also does not state whether a pickup is available.

The county listing publishes the address and phone number but no hours, so call 678-782-5111 before a trip.

The county publishes no fee for donations at this site and advises calling ahead, so confirm acceptance and any conditions at 678-782-5111 before loading furniture.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

Can a couch go out with the trash in McDonough?

Yes, if it fits the city's bulky item rule. McDonough services three bulk items on your service day and each item has to weigh less than 50 pounds, and the city does not publish a separate furniture list. A couch that meets those limits goes out with the regular pickup, and anything heavier or beyond the three item count waits for the next week or goes to the city drop-off at 560 Macon Street on the first and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.Official guidance

Will McDonough take a mattress at the curb?

The city does not name mattresses in its bulky item rule, so treat it as a confirmation. What the city does publish is three bulk items serviced on your service day with a limit of less than 50 pounds on each, and 6 a.m. on the pickup day as the curbside deadline for carts. If the mattress does not fit that route, Henry County names mattresses among the items it sends to CHaRM, which takes them by appointment and charges by size.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in McDonough?

Treat it as a hard-to-recycle item rather than a routine curbside pickup. The city's bulky item rule is three items on the service day with a limit of less than 50 pounds on each and no appliance unit list, so call 770-957-3915 to ask whether the unit qualifies. Henry County names large appliances for CHaRM, which takes refrigerators, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and water heaters by appointment and publishes a per unit fee.Official guidance

Where do televisions go in Henry County?

Henry County lists televisions and monitors among its hard-to-recycle items and sends them to CHaRM, the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, which charges per television or monitor and takes them by appointment only at 1110 Hill St SE in Atlanta. Its hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and most other electronics are listed at no fee.Official guidance

What counts as a bulk item in McDonough?

The city publishes the limit rather than an item list. Three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each one has to weigh less than 50 pounds, with carts and items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. The city names construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding as material it will not collect, and a missed pickup caused by the hauler is rescheduled for the following Friday only.Official guidance

Who collects trash in McDonough?

The City of McDonough runs the programme and names Republic Services as the company that provides it. Every resident and business inside the city limits is required to have City sanitation service, which is billed as a monthly charge on the water bill and includes a 90-gallon household cart and a 65-gallon recycling cart. The city can be reached at 770-957-3915 and Public Works at 678-782-6272. Henry County handles the hard-to-recycle route instead and does no curbside collection of its own.Official guidance

How many bulk items will the McDonough hauler take?

Three. The city says three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each bulk item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. Carts and items go to the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, and a missed pickup caused by the hauler is rescheduled for the following Friday only. Anything beyond the three items or the weight limit waits for the next week or goes to the city drop-off on the first and third Saturday of the month.Official guidance

Where is the McDonough bulk item drop-off?

The city drop-off is at 560 Macon Street, the site the city calls the old Mercer Building. It opens on the first and third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closes for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., and it is for City of McDonough residential customers only. The city calendar notes the Saturdays the site is closed and states that the city may close the drop-off at any time during the published days or hours.Official guidance

Where do hard-to-recycle items go in McDonough?

Henry County sends them to CHaRM, the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, and lists paint, household chemicals, tires, televisions and monitors, mattresses, propane tanks, thermometers, smoke detectors, bulbs, CFL bulbs and toilets among them. CHaRM is at 1110 Hill St SE in Atlanta, takes items by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., accepts no cash and refuses propane tanks and alkaline and car batteries, so the item has to be checked before the trip.Official guidance
