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 household junk

Accepted with preparation

Lawrence collects bulky material during two heavy trash weeks a year, the first full week of May and the first full week of October, and each property may place three items at the curb in the spring and three more in the fall at no additional cost. Anything beyond that is paid for and scheduled at least 48 hours before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three items per property at no additional cost in each of the spring and fall heavy trash weeks, matching the city ordinance that lets households dispose of up to three bulky items without additional charge during the Board of Works cleaning events. Additional items are paid and scheduled with Priority Waste.
When & how
Put the items out during the published week, the first full week in May or October, and call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours ahead to pay for and schedule anything beyond the three.
Get it ready
Keep building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks out of the pile because the city excludes them, and ask Priority about anything unusual when the collection is arranged since the city says the exclusion list is not limited to the printed examples.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Two heavy trash weeks carry three items each

Lawrence collects heavy trash in the first full week of May and the first full week of October, with the 2026 weeks published as May 4 to 8 and October 5 to 9. Each property may place three items at the curb in the spring and three more in the fall at no additional cost, which the city ordinance matches by allowing up to three bulky items during the Board of Works cleaning events. Anything beyond the three is paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours before it goes out.

The exclusions are printed and the list is open

The city excludes building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks from curbside collection, and it states that the list is not limited to those examples while offering to walk through any other exclusions when a bulky collection is scheduled. That is the reason a project load needs a private container rather than a heavy trash pile, and the reason to call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 about any item that is hard to classify.

What the sanitation account costs and what an overage tag covers

The base solid waste and recycling fee is a published monthly amount for a household with one trash and one recycling container, and it rises each January 2. A monthly senior discount is available to one and two person households where someone is 65 or older and water use stays at or under 7,500 gallons a month, and those households cannot rent extra containers. An extra container carries a monthly charge with a ceiling of two trash and two recycling containers, a replacement container carries its own published charge, and an overage tag for a bag or box that does not fit the container is bought at the Department of Public Works. Each amount is listed in the published fee schedule and in the charge records here.

Cart rules for the weekly service

Recycling goes into the provided 95 gallon recycling cart and the city lists clean plastic bottles and containers marked 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7, clean food and beverage cans or cartons, paper, clean flattened cardboard and paperboard, and clear or coloured glass bottles. A former cart cannot be used, and an additional container is requested through the city form. Trash that will not fit the container is handled with an overage tag rather than a loose pile, and the city's Department of Public Works at 9001 East 59th Street sells them.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Lawrence runs its disposal as curbside service rather than a drop-off, and the city publishes no transfer station, landfill or household hazardous waste site. The weekly carts go out under the Priority Waste contract, with recycling limited to the provided 95 gallon cart and the accepted list of plastic bottles and containers marked 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7, cans, cartons, paper, cardboard and glass. Trash that will not fit the container is handled with an overage tag from the Department of Public Works rather than a loose pile at the curb. Twice a year, in the first full week of May and the first full week of October, heavy trash weeks let each property put three bulky items out at no additional cost, and anything beyond that is paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours in advance, at the published per item rate. Construction material is not part of any of it: building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks are excluded from curbside collection, the city says the exclusion list is not limited to those examples, and no municipal rate or drop-off is published for a project load, so that work goes to a private container or hauling company.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Lawrence?

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.
