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 items and household junk

Special rules apply

Pooler's contracted cart service is garbage, recycling and yard waste only, and the sanitation schedule the city distributes states plainly that there is no bulk pickup. A couch, mattress, appliance, television or pile of renovation material left at the curb is therefore outside the service, and the published alternatives are the county drop-off centers, a permitted landfill, the city's own recycling roundups or a donation for goods still usable.

City cost & eligibility
Pooler publishes no bulky item rate because it publishes no bulky item service. Call Atlantic Waste Services on (912) 964-2000 to ask whether any special arrangement exists for the address, and confirm the accepted material and any fee with whichever site ends up taking the load.
When & how
There is no bulky collection day to wait for. Take the material to a county drop-off center during its published hours, use a permitted landfill gate, or wait for a published city recycling roundup date.
Get it ready
Keep bulky material out of the carts and never leave it at the curb expecting the cart truck to collect it. Hazardous waste, wet paint and tires are named as not allowed and stay out of every route.

Couches, sofas and household furniture

Special rules apply

Neither the city pages nor the operator's Pooler page publishes a furniture pickup, and the sanitation schedule rules out bulk collection, so a couch leaves through a donation, a self haul to a site that accepts bulky material, or a special arrangement with the hauler.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no furniture rate. Confirm any special pickup directly with Atlantic Waste Services, and confirm acceptance, hours and any gate fee with the receiving site if the household is doing the hauling.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with the hauler, take a usable piece to a donation point during its hours, or deliver the load through a landfill gate once its hours are confirmed.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the carts and off the curb until a pickup is arranged, and clean it and check that it is still usable before offering it as a donation, because the ReStore takes gently used goods in good condition only.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

Nothing in Pooler, at Atlantic Waste or on the Chatham County pages names a mattress route. The county drop-off centers publish specific acceptable material lists that do not include bedding, so a mattress has to be confirmed with a site or handled as a landfill load.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rate and no mattress service. Confirm with Atlantic Waste Services, with a landfill gate, or with a specialty handler before the unit is moved, and treat a mattress and box spring as two pieces.
When & how
Confirm a receiving site first, then deliver during its published hours. There is no municipal mattress pickup to book.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and bag or wrap it so it can be handled, keep it out of the carts, and expect a box spring to count separately because it will not be taken inside the mattress.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

The county's published scrap metal category names household appliances and other items containing metal components, so an appliance has a real self haul route even though Pooler's cart service takes none of them. Cooling appliances hold refrigerant and need the receiving site's sealed system rules confirmed rather than assumed.

City cost & eligibility
The county recycling page states there is no cost to recycle the materials it lists, while Pooler publishes no appliance rate because it publishes no bulky service. Confirm the residency requirement and confirm how refrigerant is handled before hauling a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner.
When & how
Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5:00 at the county drop-off centers, closed on the county's listed holidays, or the receiving site's own confirmed hours.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove or tape the doors so it cannot close on a child, keep it out of the carts, secure loose shelves and cords, and tell the receiving site whether the unit holds refrigerant.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Special rules apply

Electronics have two published routes: the county drop-off center's electronics category, which names flat-screen televisions, monitors, computers, printers, ink and toner, cords and rechargeable batteries and states there is no cost to recycle, and the city's own recycling roundups in January and April at the Rogers Street Gym parking lot.

City cost & eligibility
The county states there is no cost to recycle the listed electronics, but the city publishes no charge for its roundup events and warns that event details can change. Confirm the next published roundup date, or confirm the center's current material list, before loading a vehicle.
When & how
County drop-off centers run Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5:00. City roundups run on published event days only, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on the 2026 dates.
Get it ready
Wipe your data before a computer, phone or tablet leaves the house, leave alkaline batteries out because the county accepts only lithium-ion and lead-acid rechargeable types, and keep cords, cables and toner cartridges sorted so the site can process them.

What the city's cart service actually collects

Pooler bills water, sewer and sanitation together through its Utility Billing department, and the carts run under the city's contract with Atlantic Waste Services. The published service is a weekly green lid garbage cart for landfill only waste, green and yellow recycling carts, and yard waste in brown paper bags only, with each bag or container at 45 pounds or less, a maximum of 10 bags, and limbs stacked no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet with no trunk over 4 inches. Cart placement changed to automated collection in 2023, and the city directs schedule and zone questions to Atlantic Waste on (912) 964-2000. Hazardous waste materials, wet paint, tires and medical waste over 2 pounds per week are listed as not allowed.

The published schedule rules out bulk pickup

The sanitation schedule the city publishes for Pooler residents states plainly that there is no bulk pickup, and neither the city's waste page nor the operator's Pooler page publishes any large item, appliance or furniture collection. The same sheet names hazardous waste materials, wet paint, tires and medical waste over 2 pounds per week as not allowed, and the company holidays it observes are New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. That combination is why every item guide here points to a self haul, a donation or a special arrangement instead of a curbside set out.

Chatham County publishes the drop-off and event routes

Chatham County does not collect household garbage and does not regulate private haulers, but it does publish three recycling drop-off centers and their material lists, including a scrap metal category that names household appliances and an electronics category that names flat-screen televisions, computers, printers and rechargeable batteries, with no cost to recycle the listed items. The same pages refuse tires, glass, styrofoam, hazardous material and construction debris from major renovations, and the county's curbside yard waste and monthly bulk pickup are for the unincorporated area rather than for an address inside a city. Pooler adds its own recycling roundups, published on the city events calendar for January and April at the Rogers Street Gym parking lot.

City of Pooler sanitation service, collected under contract by Atlantic Waste Services

Use the city sanitation carts for what they take

A Pooler household on the city's contracted route with ordinary household refuse, recyclables or yard waste.

Cost & conditions
Sanitation is billed with water and sewer through the city's Utility Billing department rather than per item, and the published schedule carries no bulky item service and no bulky item rate, so there is nothing to quote here. Confirm any special arrangement with Atlantic Waste Services.
Arrange it
Put the green lid garbage cart, the recycling carts and the yard waste on the route day for the address, following the cart placement guidelines the city adopted with automated collection in 2023.

The carts take household refuse, recyclables and yard waste only. Hazardous waste, wet paint, tires, medical waste over 2 pounds per week and any bulky item are outside the service.

Open the city waste collection page

With a new purchase

Self haul to a Chatham County drop-off center or a landfill

A household that would rather drive the load itself, including appliances, electronics and construction material that the carts never take.

Cost & conditions
The county's recycling page states there is no cost to recycle the materials it lists, while the landfill and any specialty site publish no gate rate, and the county's curbside programs are for the unincorporated area. Confirm the material list, the residency requirement and any fee with the site before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Sort the load by material, check the site's published hours, and deliver it during those hours, because all residential loads are subject to inspection and can be rejected.

The county centers refuse tires, automotive batteries, glass, styrofoam, hazardous material, construction debris from major renovations, land clearing and tree stumps, and the landfill restricts its service area to waste generated in Georgia.

With a new purchase

Donate usable furniture and appliances

A household with furniture, appliances or building materials still in good usable condition.

Cost & conditions
No charge. A donation rather than a disposal service, so the ReStore charges nothing to accept goods it can resell. It states that large item pickups are scheduled by phone on 912-661-3137 and that it issues a tax slip noting quantity but not fair market value.
Arrange it
Call the ReStore on 912-661-3137 to schedule a large item pickup, or take the goods to 701 MLK Jr Blvd in Savannah during store hours once those are confirmed.

Gently used goods in good condition only. Mattresses are not among the items the ReStore names as accepted, and the store will not take anything it cannot resell.

Open the ReStore donation page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Pooler's cart service stops at household refuse, recyclables and yard waste, and the sanitation schedule the city publishes states there is no bulk pickup, so a self haul is the published route for a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a television, a treadmill or renovation debris. Chatham County publishes three recycling drop-off centers, at 7022 Concord Road on Wilmington Island, on Chevis Road in Savannah and at 50 Kelly Hill Road in Garden City, with material lists that name scrap metal including household appliances and an electronics category that names flat-screen televisions, computers, printers and rechargeable batteries, and the county states there is no cost to recycle those items. County loads must be sorted and can be inspected and rejected, and the county refuses tires, automotive batteries, glass, styrofoam, hazardous material, construction debris from full house demolitions or major renovations, land clearing and tree stumps. Curbside yard waste and the monthly bulk pickup the county runs are for the unincorporated area rather than for an address inside a city, so confirm the residency requirement before relying on a county center. For mixed household loads and construction and demolition debris the local permitted landfill is the Superior Landfill at 3001 Little Neck Road in Savannah, which restricts its service area to waste generated in Georgia and publishes no gate rate or hours. Pooler itself adds two recycling roundups each year at the Rogers Street Gym parking lot, both published on the city events calendar, and the Habitat ReStore on MLK Jr Blvd in Savannah takes usable furniture and appliances as donations.

Chatham County residents, with the residency requirement to confirm for a Pooler address. Loads must be pre-sorted and are subject to inspection and rejection, and the county refuses putrescible household garbage, tires, automotive batteries at its centers, glass, styrofoam, hazardous material and chemicals, construction debris from full house demolitions or major renovations, land clearing, tree stumps and dead animals. The county's two retained pages disagree about automotive batteries, because its electronics list names them as accepted while its drop-off page lists them as not accepted, so confirm before bringing them.

Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 to 5:00, closed January 1, July 4, Thanksgiving, December 24 at noon and Christmas Day

No charge. The county's recycling page states there is no cost to recycle the listed materials and that attendants help with drop-off. Confirm the residency requirement for a city address and confirm current holiday closures before a trip.

WM Superior Landfill and Recycling Center

3001 Little Neck Road, Savannah, GA 31419

Municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, yard waste, liquid waste and special wastes such as asbestos and non-hazardous contaminated soil and sludge

The landfill states its service area is restricted to waste generated in the state of Georgia, and it publishes no residential gate rate, no quantity limit and no gate hours. It is a disposal site rather than a recycler or donation point, and hazardous material still has to go to a route that accepts it.

Call (888) 964-9730 for gate hours, because the retained facility page publishes none

No charge. A donation rather than a disposal service, so there is no fee to give goods the ReStore can resell. The store issues a tax slip at drop off or pickup that notes quantity but not fair market value, and asks donors to call 912-661-3137 about large items.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Pooler?

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.

Does Pooler collect bulky items at the curb?

No. The 2025 sanitation schedule the city publishes states that there is no bulk pickup, and the only curbside services it lists are a weekly green lid garbage cart, the recycling carts and yard waste in brown paper bags. A couch, mattress, appliance or television instead goes through a county drop-off center, a landfill, a city recycling roundup or a donation.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a couch in Pooler?

The city service is carts only and the published schedule states there is no bulk pickup, so a couch needs one of the other routes: donate it to the Habitat ReStore on MLK Jr Blvd if it is still in usable condition, take it to a site that accepts bulky material, or call Atlantic Waste Services about a special arrangement for the address.Official guidance

Will anyone take a mattress in Pooler?

Not through the city. The sanitation schedule states there is no bulk pickup and the county drop-off centers list the materials they take without naming mattresses. Confirm with Atlantic Waste Services, with a landfill that accepts household loads, or with a specialty handler before you move it.Official guidance

Where do appliances go in Pooler?

The cart service will not take them, but the county recycling drop-off page lists household appliances under scrap metal and states there is no cost to recycle the listed materials. A working appliance can also be donated to the Habitat ReStore. Cooling appliances need the receiving site's refrigerant handling confirmed before the trip.Official guidance

Where can I recycle a TV in Pooler?

The county recycling drop-off page names flat-screen televisions and monitors in its electronics category and states there is no cost to recycle those items. The city's own Recycling Roundup events in January and April take old electronics at the Rogers Street Gym parking lot, 900 South Rogers Street.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Pooler?

The city's sanitation service, collected under contract by Atlantic Waste Services and billed with water and sewer by the city's Utility Billing department. The published service is a weekly green lid garbage cart for landfill only waste, green and yellow recycling carts, and yard waste in brown paper bags. Cart placement changed to automated collection in 2023, and the city points schedule and zone questions to Atlantic Waste on (912) 964-2000.Official guidance

What happens if I leave a couch or appliance at the curb in Pooler?

It stays there. The published sanitation schedule states there is no bulk pickup, so the cart truck will not take a couch, mattress, appliance, television or renovation debris. The published routes are a self haul to a county drop-off center or a permitted landfill, a donation for goods still usable, and the city's own recycling roundups for electronics.Official guidance

Why is there no disposal price on these pages?

Because Pooler publishes no bulky item service and therefore no bulky item rate: sanitation is billed as part of the utility account, and the only published fee schedule in the area is the paint table the county lists for the Chatham Paint Center. That is why each item guide here asks the reader to confirm the cost with the hauler or the receiving site instead of quoting a number.Official guidance

Can I take a load to a Chatham County drop-off center?

The county publishes three centers and the materials they take, including scrap metal such as household appliances and an electronics category, and states there is no cost to recycle the listed items. Two cautions: the county's curbside yard waste and monthly bulk pickup are for the unincorporated area while the drop-off pages state no city-limits restriction, so confirm your address is eligible, and the centers refuse tires, automotive batteries, glass, styrofoam, hazardous material and construction debris from major renovations.Official guidance

When is the next Pooler recycling event?

On the city's 2026 calendar the Winter Recycling Roundup falls on Saturday January 10 and the Spring Recycling Roundup on Saturday April 25, both 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Rogers Street Gym parking lot, 900 South Rogers Street. The winter roundup takes old electronics and paper for shredding, the spring roundup takes old or unused electronics and vehicle batteries, and the city warns that all listed events are subject to change.Official guidance

How does Pooler want yard waste set out?

In brown paper bags only, with plastic bags refused because they are not recyclable. Each bag or container must weigh no more than 45 pounds and no more than 10 bags are collected, tree limbs must be stacked in piles no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, trunks or limbs over 4 inches in diameter are not collected, and yard waste has to be kept separate from garbage and recycling.Official guidance
