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.

Bulky items and large household goods

Accepted with preparation

Large bulk items are collected once a week as their own stream, and a pile past the free size is priced from the City unit table.

City cost & eligibility
From $65 for the published per unit charge for mixed trash debris, where one unit is four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high and 160 cubic feet, with a pile under one unit carrying no charge and yard debris charged at a lower published per unit rate. City of Valdosta residential sanitation customers. The unit table has no limit on the number of units, and the charge is added for each additional unit.
When & how
Once a week on the designated service day for the address, collected by its own truck separately from the garbage and the yard debris. Special pickups do not require a call in.
Get it ready
Separate the bulk pile from the yard debris pile and from the household trash, because the three streams travel on different trucks and a mixed pile is not collected. Keep the pile behind the curb and clear of the rollout and the right of way, and measure it against a unit of four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high, since a pile up to that size is not charged while anything larger is priced by the number of units.
City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rules

Mattresses and bedding

Special rules apply

Bedding is not named in the City stream lists, so the item is confirmed before it goes out with the bulk pile.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes a rate for a bulky pile by unit rather than a rate for a mattress, and it does not name bedding among the material it collects. Confirm with the Public Works collection office on 229-259-3590 whether the piece goes out with the bulk stream and how it is measured against the unit table.
When & how
If it is accepted, the mattress goes out with the bulky stream on the designated service day for the address, in its own pile rather than mixed with yard debris or household trash.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped so the crew can lift it, and set it out only after confirming that it belongs with the bulk stream. If the covered mattress makes the pile larger than four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high, expect the pile to be priced by the unit.
City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rules

Appliances

Special rules apply

Appliances are not named in the City stream lists and washers and dryers are refused at the electronics events, so the item is confirmed with the City.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes a bulky pile rate by unit rather than an appliance rate and does not name appliances on its sanitation page, and the electronics recycling events refuse washers and dryers, so call 229-259-3590 and confirm whether the unit is collected with the bulk stream and how it is measured.
When & how
If the appliance is accepted it goes out with the bulky stream on the designated service day, in its own pile.
Get it ready
Empty the unit completely and leave the pile accessible from the curb rather than the street or gutter. Ask when you confirm the item how the doors and any refrigerant should be handled, because the City publishes no door removal or degassing step and the events refuse washers and dryers along with gas powered equipment.
City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rulesCity fall electronics recycling event page with the accepted and refused lists, the joint county program and the contact numbers

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Electronics are not a curbside item, and the City runs free spring and fall recycling events at the Public Works facility where televisions, CRTs, computers and batteries are accepted.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents using the City's spring and fall electronics recycling events, which the City and Lowndes County Public Works host together at the Valdosta Public Works facility at 1017 Myrtle Street, with no fee stated on either event page.
When & how
On the published event dates from 8 a.m. to noon at 1017 Myrtle Street. Both event pages that could be retrieved carry 2024 dates, so the next spring or fall date should be confirmed with Public Works on 229-259-3588 or with Lowndes County Public Works on 229-671-2700.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the household garbage and confirm the next event date before loading the car. Accepted material includes computers, laptops, cell phones, cameras, audio equipment, printers, disk and floppy drives, cables and accessories, camcorders and video machines, televisions and CRTs, and batteries, while vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, gas powered equipment and other non electronic items are refused.

Construction and demolition material

Special rules apply

Construction material is not named in the City streams, while mixed trash debris is charged by unit, so a project load is confirmed with Public Works.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes a per unit rate for mixed trash debris but does not name construction or demolition material in its residential streams, and no bulky item list is published either. Confirm the material, the volume and the price with Public Works on 229-259-3585 before the pile goes out, because a project load may need a private hauler instead.
When & how
Confirm with Public Works first. If the material is treated as mixed trash debris it goes out with the bulky stream on the designated service day and is priced by unit, and a load that is refused needs its own hauler.
Get it ready
Separate the load into what can plausibly travel as mixed trash debris and what cannot, keep any pile within the four feet by eight feet by five feet unit or expect a per unit charge, and keep household chemicals and liquids out of the pile entirely. Do not mix construction material into the yard debris pile, which has to stay separate from both household trash and bulk items.
City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rules

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the City streams, so the machine is confirmed with the division and measured against the unit table.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes a bulky pile rate by unit rather than a rate for a machine and does not name exercise equipment, so call the Public Works collection office on 229-259-3590 and confirm the item and its size against the unit table of four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high.
When & how
If it is accepted, the machine goes out with the bulky stream on the designated service day, separated from the yard debris and the household garbage.
Get it ready
Describe the machine when you confirm it, break down what folds and comes apart, and keep the pieces in one pile rather than setting them out across two service days. Keep the pile behind the curb and clear of the rollout, and expect a per unit charge once the pile passes a single unit of four feet by eight feet by five feet.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Keep the three streams apart

Garbage, yard trash and bulk items are collected on the same designated service day but by three different trucks at different times, so each one goes out as its own pile. Yard debris stays separate from household trash and from large bulk items, and limbs and leaves make up two separate piles inside the yard debris stream.

City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rulesCity sanitation schedule page explaining the designated service day, the rollout sticker and the map

Measure the pile in units

One unit is four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high, which is 160 cubic feet. A pile under one unit carries no charge, and past that the pile is priced per unit with yard debris at one published rate and mixed trash debris at a higher one, added again for each additional unit and with no limit on the number of units.

City residential sanitation page with the three collection streams, the monthly fee, the unit charge table, the set out windows and the container rules

Electronics and chemicals have their own handling

Electronics are not collected curbside and instead go to the City's spring and fall recycling events at the Public Works facility on 1017 Myrtle Street, where computers, laptops, cell phones, printers, cables, televisions and CRTs are taken and vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers and gas powered equipment are refused. Household chemicals, paint and liquids have no published drop off and stay out of every stream, with the route confirmed by phone first.

City of Valdosta Residential Sanitation Division with Lowndes County Public Works

City weekly garbage, yard trash and bulk streams

A city household with household garbage, yard debris or a large item that will not fit in the rollout.

Cost & conditions
$25.74 for the published monthly fee for residential pickup, which covers once a week collection of garbage, yard trash and bulk items, with piles past one unit charged separately from the published unit table. City of Valdosta residential sanitation customers. One rollout is provided free at each residence, special pickups do not require a call in, and a pile larger than four feet by eight feet by five feet is priced per unit.
Arrange it
Set the three streams out separately on the designated service day, keep the rollout inside the noon to 5 a.m. window, and leave the empty container at the curb no later than noon the following day.

The service covers residential garbage, yard trash and bulk items only, and it does not cover paint, chemicals, liquids or electronics, which need their own route.

See the City sanitation services

With a new purchase

Private hauler for a project load

A household or contractor with construction, demolition or renovation material that is not part of the residential streams.

Cost & conditions
The City publishes no construction collection, so a hauler or container company quotes its own price and confirms where the load goes, while a pile the City does accept as mixed trash debris is charged from the published unit table instead.
Arrange it
Describe the material and where it will be staged, and confirm the destination before the container arrives.

The residential streams cover garbage, yard trash and bulk items, and construction material is not named among them, so a project load may need this route rather than the curbside collection.

See the Public Works contacts

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Valdosta collects three residential streams once a week on one designated service day, and each stream arrives on its own truck, so the household work is in the separation. Garbage goes in the green rollout inside the noon to 5 a.m. window, yard trash goes out beside it in bags, boxes or containers with limbs and leaves in two separate piles, and large bulk items form a third pile that is free up to one unit of four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high and priced per unit past that. Special pickups do not require a call in. What the curb will not take has to go somewhere else, and the published route is the City's spring and fall electronics recycling events at the Public Works facility on 1017 Myrtle Street, where computers, laptops, cell phones, printers, cables, televisions and CRTs are accepted free and appliances and gas powered equipment are refused. Recycling moved off the curb to a single drop off site at 3130 Val Tech Rd, and household chemicals have no published drop off at all, so that route has to be confirmed by phone before anything moves.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Valdosta?

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 is a large pile charged?

By units of 160 cubic feet, measured as four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet high. A pile under one unit carries no charge, mixed trash debris is charged at a published rate per unit with no limit on the number of units, yard debris is charged at a lower published rate, and each additional unit adds the same rate again.Official guidance

Does the pile need to be separated?

Yes. The City asks residents to separate yard debris piles from household trash and from large bulk items, and to divide limbs and leaves into two separate piles of their own. Each stream is picked up by a different truck at a different time, so a combined pile is not collected in one pass.Official guidance

Will the City take a mattress at the curb?

Confirm it first on 229-259-3590, because the City describes a bulky item stream and a unit charge table without naming bedding. If it is accepted it goes out with the bulk pile on the designated service day, separated from the yard debris and household trash.Official guidance

Can an appliance go out with the bulk pile?

Ask first on 229-259-3590, because appliances are not named on the City sanitation page and the electronics recycling events refuse washers and dryers. If the City confirms the item it goes out with the bulky stream on the designated service day, separated from the yard debris, and the unit is emptied before it is set out.Official guidance

Where do electronics go in Valdosta?

To the City's spring or fall electronics recycling event at the Public Works facility on 1017 Myrtle Street, which runs from 8 a.m. to noon and takes computers, laptops, cell phones, printers, cameras, cables, televisions and CRTs along with batteries. Confirm the next date on 229-259-3588, because the event pages carry 2024 dates.Official guidance

What is refused at the electronics event?

Vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, gas powered equipment and other non electronic items. The events are limited to electronics, so an appliance or a gas powered tool needs a different destination, which the City can confirm on 229-259-3588.Official guidance

Will the City take construction debris?

Confirm it with Public Works on 229-259-3585, because the City lists garbage, yard trash and bulk items as its three residential streams and does not name construction or demolition material. A pile of mixed trash debris is charged by unit when it goes out, and a load the City will not take needs a private hauler.Official guidance

Does the City take exercise equipment?

It is not named on the City sanitation page, so call 229-259-3590 and confirm the machine before it goes out. If it is accepted it leaves with the bulky stream on the designated service day, and a pile larger than one unit of four feet wide by eight feet long by five feet is charged by unit.Official guidance

Who collects the waste in Valdosta?

The Residential Sanitation Division of the City of Valdosta Public Works Department, which serves more than 20,000 residential customers with once a week garbage, yard trash and bulk item collection. Sign up through the customer service division on 229-259-3510, and call the Public Works collection office on 229-259-3590 for a collection day question, a rollout or a missed pickup.Official guidance

How do I find my collection day?

The City publishes a sanitation schedule map and marks the designated day on each green rollout with a color coded sticker that pairs with the map. The three streams of garbage, yard debris and bulk items are all picked up on that designated service day, and Public Works on 229-259-3585 can confirm the day.Official guidance

How do holidays affect collection?

The Sanitation Division collects only residential garbage on holidays, so a holiday route is for the green rollout. Household garbage is not collected on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and is picked up the next day, and junk items and yard waste are collected the following business day.Official guidance

Is curbside recycling still collected?

No. The City's recycling division moved away from curbside collection to a single drop off site at 3130 Val Tech Rd, where recyclable material has to be clean, dry and empty and cardboard boxes have to be broken down. Anything not on the accepted list is treated as non recyclable and should not go in the trailers.Official guidance

What if I cannot move the container?

The City offers a walk up service for elderly customers and for anyone whose disability prevents them from rolling the container out when no other able resident lives in the home. A letter from a medical provider on letterhead is required, a long term condition is revalidated every two years, and the paperwork goes to the Public Works office or the published fax number.Official guidance
