Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction and remodeling debris

Not on the regular city route

The city publishes no route for construction material. Only regular household trash may go in the bins, loose debris is barred from the bin and from the extra pickup, and the county drop-off at Kerr Street covers hazardous material and electronics rather than demolition debris. A remodel load is therefore a private arrangement rather than a city service.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction debris rate because it is not part of the solid waste routes. Removal is arranged privately, so confirm the load and the price with a hauler or container company before the work produces the material.
When & how
There is no city pickup day for renovation material and no drop-off for it at the Kerr Street center, so arrange removal before the work starts rather than letting the material accumulate at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep the material out of the trash bin and out of the yard waste bin, because the bin is limited to regular household trash and the yard bin is barred to lumber, dirt, rocks and large limbs. Keep it clear of the collection path, and do not set anything out for an extra pickup without an assigned date, because the city warns that early placement can bring a citation from Code Enforcement.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bagged household trash only, inside a city issued bin

Everything must be bagged and placed in a city issued 48 or 96 gallon bin with the lid closed and the opening facing the street. Bags on top of the bin, on the ground or in a private container are not collected, and only regular household trash belongs in the bin. Electronic waste, yard waste, loose debris, paints, chemicals and other hazardous material are all barred from it, and the bin goes within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. and at least three feet from other bins and objects.

With a new purchase

Arrange a private removal for construction or remodeling debris

A household or contractor with renovation or demolition material that the city routes do not take.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes no construction debris service or rate, so the load and the price come from a private hauler or container company and have to be confirmed before the work produces the material.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed hauler or container company, place the container where the truck can reach it, and have the same company collect it when the work finishes. The city's own routes stay limited to household trash in the bin and the scheduled extra pickups.

Nothing from a renovation goes in the trash bin or the yard waste bin, because the bin is limited to regular household trash and the yard bin refuses lumber, dirt and rocks. The county drop-off at Kerr Street covers hazardous material and electronics rather than building debris.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in South Bend comes down to one address for problem material and one for garden material. The Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street takes the electronics and chemicals the city refuses, covering aerosols, batteries, corrosives, fluorescent bulbs, mercury items, paints and solvents, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, smoke detectors, styrofoam, tires, waste fuels and waste oils, and the city states the drop-off is free for South Bend residents. Tires are limited to six per year per household, waste fuels and oils cannot arrive in 55-gallon drums, and the center has to be called on 574.235.9971 for its hours because the city pages do not publish them. Electronics arrive at the same address, because the city refuses them on the trash bin and on the extra pickup. At the other end of the scale, the yard waste the city collects becomes mulch and compost that is free when the resident loads it at Organic Resources on 4340 Trade Drive. Construction material sits outside both, since the city has no demolition route and the Kerr Street center handles hazardous material rather than building debris, so a remodel load is a private arrangement.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Bend.

How much does construction debris removal cost in South Bend?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in South Bend?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Can construction debris go out with the trash in South Bend?

No. Only regular household trash may go in the city bins, and loose debris is barred from both the bin and the extra pickup routes along with paints, chemicals and hazardous material. The city publishes no construction or demolition route and the Kerr Street drop-off covers hazardous material and electronics rather than building debris, so removal is arranged privately with a hauler or container company.Official guidance

Who collects trash in South Bend?

The city Solid Waste division does the work itself, not a franchise hauler. It runs weekly trash collection for every city address from Monday through Thursday, with trash, yard waste and extra pickups all on the same day for a household, and service is delayed by one day when a city holiday falls on the collection day. Residents sign up when they start water service, and 311 handles scheduling and questions.Official guidance

What will South Bend not take on an extra pickup?

Electronics and hazardous material are the two refused groups. The city lists televisions, computers and their accessories among the refused electronics, and aerosols, batteries, corrosives, fluorescent bulbs, mercury, paints and solvents, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, smoke detectors, tires, waste fuels and waste oils among the refused hazardous items, with electronics and hazardous waste going to the Kerr Street drop-off instead. Loose debris and anything with human or animal bodily fluids are also refused.Official guidance
