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 go to the curb with the regular collection and are picked up by a secondary truck on the same trash day, with no appointment required.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Muncie Sanitary District customers, who receive bulk item collection as one of the weekly curbside services along with trash, recycling, tree limb and white good collection, on the regular trash day with no separate fee published for the pickup.
When & how
Every week on the regular trash day, collected by a secondary truck behind the usual route. Nothing has to be scheduled, so the item only has to be at the curb and accessible.
Get it ready
Place furniture, tree limbs and appliances at the curb and separate the tree limbs, brush and leaves from the other large items, because a separate truck collects the organic material for composting and mulching. Keep the pile clear of mailboxes, poles, fences and overhead power lines, and remember that bags and boxes on the ground are not collected on their own.
Bedding is not named in the district bulk, white good or toter lists, so the piece is confirmed before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The district publishes no rate for bedding and does not name mattresses among the bulk items it lists, so call the sanitation department on 765-747-4865 and confirm whether the piece rides the weekly bulk collection or needs another route.
When & how
If the district confirms the piece, it goes out with the bulk items on the regular trash day and is picked up by the secondary truck.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped so the crew can lift it, and set it out with the bulk pile rather than on its own. Ask when you call whether a box spring or a bed frame counts as part of the same item, and keep the pile clear of poles, mailboxes and fences.
White goods such as appliances are a named weekly curbside service and appliances are also named in the bulk collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Muncie Sanitary District customers, who receive white good appliance collection as one of the weekly curbside services along with trash, recycling, bulk item and tree limb collection, with no separate fee published for the pickup.
When & how
Every week with the curbside services on the regular trash day, and appliances are also listed among the bulk items that the secondary truck collects.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out and place it with the bulk items at the curb rather than inside a toter, since appliances will not fit and the toters are limited to bagged household waste and small quantities of bagged yard waste. Keep the appliance clear of poles, mailboxes and fences so the collection crew can reach it.
Electronic goods are part of the yearly allowance every district customer has at East Central Recycling, and the district also runs a free household hazardous waste program.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Muncie Sanitary District customers, who each year may haul and dump up to 2,000 pounds of household trash, six car tires, hazardous household waste and electronic goods at East Central Recycling at no extra charge, and Delaware County residents whose household hazardous waste was generated at the residence may use the district program free of charge.
When & how
Take the material to East Central Recycling at 701 East Centennial Avenue during its regular business hours, using the yearly allowance rather than the curbside route, and call 765-282-1900 with a question about charges or programs.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the toters, because the district limits toters to bagged household waste, small quantities of bagged yard waste and broken down cardboard. Broken down cardboard boxes can be dropped in the recycling site roll off dumpster, and needles, hazardous material, construction material, animal waste and dead animals are all excluded from the curbside service.
Construction material is refused in the toters but accepted at East Central Recycling with a charge, so a project load goes there or to a hauler.
City cost & eligibility
The district states that East Central Recycling accepts construction materials with a charge but does not publish the amount, so confirm the price and the material on 765-282-1900 before the load is hauled. Construction material is refused in the toters either way.
When & how
By delivery to East Central Recycling during business hours or through a private hauler, rather than on the curbside collection day.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the toters and off the curbside bulk pile, because the district lists construction material among the items that may not go in a toter. Broken down cardboard from a project can still go to the recycling site roll off dumpster, and anything a contractor generates is the contractor's responsibility to remove.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere in the district material, so the machine is confirmed with the sanitation department first.
City cost & eligibility
The district publishes no rate for an item it does not name, so call the sanitation department on 765-747-4865 and confirm whether the machine rides the weekly bulk collection with furniture and appliances or needs another arrangement.
When & how
If it is accepted the machine goes out with the bulk items on the regular trash day and is collected by the secondary truck.
Get it ready
Describe the machine when you call, break down what folds or comes apart, and keep the pieces in one pile rather than setting them out across several weeks. Keep the pile clear of overhead power lines, poles, mailboxes and fencing, since the district requires bulk items to be unobstructed.
Trash rides the regular truck, bulk items such as furniture and appliances ride a secondary truck on the same day, and tree limbs, brush and leaves ride a separate organic truck so the material can be composted and mulched instead of landfilled. Separating the piles is what lets each collection finish in one pass.
Every district customer may haul and dump up to 2,000 pounds of household trash at East Central Recycling each year at no extra charge, along with six car tires, hazardous household waste and electronic goods. The same site accepts construction materials with a charge, and the district publishes the recycling number for questions about charges or programs.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Arrange it
Describe the material and where it will be staged, and confirm that the hauler accepts the specific debris before the delivery date.
The district does not collect construction material at the curb, and trees that a contractor topped, pruned or felled are the customer's responsibility rather than the district's.
