City collection Furniture is not a city service. It leaves with the hauler serving the address, in a self-haul load at the Transfer Station, or through a donation outlet. The county publishes a municipal solid waste rate with a minimum charge but no furniture category, and the haulers publish no item prices. Confirm before the piece is moved.
City collection No city or county programme names mattresses in Manhattan. A mattress leaves through the hauler that serves the address or as a self-haul load at the Riley County Transfer Station. Neither the city nor the county publishes a mattress category. Confirm with the hauler that serves the address, or with the Transfer Station gate, before the item leaves the property.
City collection Riley County publishes an appliance category at the Transfer Station, with an added CFC removal fee when a unit arrives without prior certification that the refrigerant was removed. From $16 for up to 500 pounds of appliances at the Riley County Transfer Station, with a per-ton rate above that and a per-unit CFC removal fee added when a unit arrives without prior certification. Riley County Transfer Station, 1881 Henton Road, Manhattan. The published schedule is dated October 1, 2023, and the station takes charge accounts or credit cards only, with no cash or check.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Manhattan has no city trash truck. Each household contracts with one of the licensed haulers, and the city publishes the list. The Disposal side is Riley County: a Transfer Station at 1881 Henton Road that takes household waste, brush, appliances and tires, and a Household Hazardous Waste facility at 6245 Tuttle Creek Boulevard. The city also runs an annual cleanup week for bagged yard waste and loose limbs.
No city or county programme names mattresses in Manhattan. A mattress leaves through the hauler that serves the address or as a self-haul load at the Riley County Transfer Station.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a mattress category. Confirm with the hauler that serves the address, or with the Transfer Station gate, before the item leaves the property.
When & how
Ask the licensed hauler first, since the city does not run a collection truck. A self-haul load can go to the Transfer Station at 1881 Henton Road between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
The city asks that only garbage and trash go in a trash container, so a mattress is not a container item. Keep it dry, bag nothing around it, and keep it clear of the street until the confirmed pickup or trip.
Furniture is not a city service. It leaves with the hauler serving the address, in a self-haul load at the Transfer Station, or through a donation outlet.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes a municipal solid waste rate with a minimum charge but no furniture category, and the haulers publish no item prices. Confirm before the piece is moved.
When & how
Call the licensed hauler serving the address, or use the Transfer Station gate at 1881 Henton Road between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays and the listed holidays.
Get it ready
Only garbage and trash belong in a trash container, so furniture stands beside the container on the day the hauler confirms. Keep containers behind the front yard setback and out of the street except on the collection day.
Riley County publishes an appliance category at the Transfer Station, with an added CFC removal fee when a unit arrives without prior certification that the refrigerant was removed.
City cost & eligibility
From $16 for up to 500 pounds of appliances at the Riley County Transfer Station, with a per-ton rate above that and a per-unit CFC removal fee added when a unit arrives without prior certification. Riley County Transfer Station, 1881 Henton Road, Manhattan. The published schedule is dated October 1, 2023, and the station takes charge accounts or credit cards only, with no cash or check.
When & how
Self-haul the unit to the Transfer Station between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays and the listed county holidays.
Get it ready
Have the refrigerant removed and certified by a qualified technician before the trip if you want to avoid the county's CFC removal fee, and remove the doors so nothing can be trapped inside the unit.
The county rate schedule has no electronic waste category, and the city and county pages name no electronic waste outlet and no rate for a television, monitor or computer, so the route and the charge are confirmed with the city before anything is loaded.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no residential electronic waste rate, and the prices printed in the city's 2015-2016 recycling directory are out of date, so confirm the current route and charge with the city before travel.
When & how
Confirm the current outlet and charge with the city before travel, because the city and county pages name no electronic waste route.
Get it ready
Never put a television, monitor or other electronic item in a trash container, and keep a picture tube whole so it is not broken in handling. Wipe or reset any device that stores data before it leaves the house.
The county rate schedule publishes no construction and demolition category, and the city's cleanup event expressly excludes that material from its kerbside collection.
City cost & eligibility
No published category or price covers residential construction and demolition debris. Confirm acceptance and the current rate at the Transfer Station gate, or with a private hauler, before the load is moved.
When & how
Call the Transfer Station at 785-565-6290, or the hauler serving the address, before starting the trip so the load is not turned away at the gate.
Get it ready
Keep rubble, painted or treated material, roofing and drywall separate so the receiving site can tell what it is looking at, and keep the load covered because an unsecured load is a safety problem on the county roads.
Exercise equipment is not named in any city or county source, so the hauler or the Transfer Station gate has to confirm the machine before it is moved.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm whether the hauler takes it as part of the subscription or whether it goes to the Transfer Station as municipal solid waste.
When & how
Call the licensed hauler serving the address, or the Transfer Station at 785-565-6290, with the machine type and whether it has electronics or batteries.
Get it ready
Fold or tie the deck and handles, remove a console, screen or battery pack so it can be handled as electronics separately, and keep the machine dry and reachable.
A clean-out moves three ways: the hauler serving the address, a self-haul load at the county Transfer Station, or the city's annual cleanup week for yard material only.
City cost & eligibility
From $16 for up to 500 pounds of municipal solid waste at the Riley County Transfer Station, with a per-ton rate above that. Riley County Transfer Station, 1881 Henton Road, Manhattan. The published schedule is dated October 1, 2023, and the station takes charge accounts or credit cards only, with no cash or check.
When & how
Use the hauler on its normal route, or self-haul to the Transfer Station between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The city cleanup week runs once a year on a published area-by-area schedule.
Get it ready
Keep garbage and trash in a watertight container with a secured lid, and store containers behind the front yard setback except on collection day. The cleanup week takes only bagged yard waste and loose limbs, so appliances, tires, batteries, rubble and construction debris stay out of that pile.
Residential brush and grass, leaves, straw and hay are free at the Riley County Transfer Station, and the city's cleanup week collects bagged yard waste and loose limbs at the kerb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential brush and grass, leaves, straw and hay are accepted at the Riley County Transfer Station at no charge. Remove the material from plastic bags but not from compostable paper bags, and keep trash and bottles out of the pile.
When & how
Self-haul to the Transfer Station between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or put material out for the city cleanup week by 7 a.m. on your area's scheduled day once a year.
Get it ready
For the cleanup week, bag grass clippings and leaves in yard waste paper bags because plastic bags and containers are refused, keep limbs and branches in a separate loose pile with no rope, twine, scrap lumber or foreign objects, and keep the pile off the street and out of the back of the yard.
Tires do not go in a trash container or the city cleanup pile. Riley County charges a published per-tire rate by size at the Transfer Station, and the city's directory lists a local tire outlet.
City cost & eligibility
From $4.5 per small passenger-car or light-truck tire at the Riley County Transfer Station, with higher published rates for medium, large and extra-large tires and an added charge for a tire that arrives on a rim. Riley County Transfer Station, 1881 Henton Road, Manhattan. The published schedule is dated October 1, 2023, so confirm the current rate before hauling.
When & how
Self-haul to the Transfer Station between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays and the listed county holidays.
Get it ready
Sort tires by size before the trip because the county prices them separately, expect an extra charge when a tire is still on its rim, and keep tires out of the city cleanup pile and out of any trash container.
Scrap metal is not a container item and the county schedule publishes no metal category. The city's recycling directory is the published evidence of local metal outlets.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a scrap metal rate, and the prices in the city's 2015-2016 directory are out of date. Confirm acceptance and any charge with the outlet before you load.
When & how
Call the metal outlet listed in the city's recycling directory before travel, since hours and terms are set by each business rather than published by the city today.
Get it ready
Separate ferrous from nonferrous metal, remove batteries, glass, plastic and anything that still holds refrigerant, and wrap sharp or protruding edges so the load is safe to handle.
Keep trash in a covered container behind the setback
Trash containers need a watertight body and a tight-fitting cover that stays secured, and only garbage and trash go inside. Store containers behind the front yard setback, about 25 feet from the property line, except on collection day, and put a bag out only if it is strong enough to survive normal handling.
Build the cleanup pile the way the city crews can lift it
Bag grass clippings and leaves in yard waste paper bags, and keep limbs and branches in a separate loose pile at the kerb with no rope, twine or scrap lumber. Crews pass through each area once, so the pile has to be out by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day.
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.
Any Manhattan household, because curbside collection in the city is a private subscription rather than a city service.
Cost & conditions
Each hauler sets its own subscription price and any extra-item charge. Confirm the rate and what the subscription includes before you book.
Arrange it
Call the company serving your address from the city's list and ask whether your item is included in the regular service or needs a separate arrangement and day.
A routine subscription may not include every bulky item. Only garbage and trash belong in the container, and a third notice for a container or storage violation in a year brings a citation.
City of Manhattan licensed haulers and Riley County Public Works
Self-haul to the Riley County Transfer Station
A household with a vehicle that would rather move its own load than wait for a hauler, including household waste, brush, appliances and tires.
Cost & conditions
From $16 for up to 500 pounds of municipal solid waste at the Riley County Transfer Station, with a per-ton rate above that and separate published rates for appliances, brush, compost and tires.

Use the Riley County Household Hazardous Waste facility
A Riley County household with paint, pesticides, fertilizers, motor oil, household cleaners or antifreeze that cannot go in a trash container.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes a disposal fee for business deliveries and no residential fee on its Household Hazardous Waste page, so confirm the current household terms before you load the car.
Arrange it
Take material to 6245 Tuttle Creek Blvd during the published hours, Monday to Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 7:30 a.m. to noon, or use the mobile collection unit on the second Saturday of the month, 8 a.m. to noon, at 625 S. 10th Street.
Business waste needs a scheduled appointment and a fee, and the site also runs latex paint, pesticide container and used oil programs of its own, so ask which counter takes your material.
Use a drop-off outlet from the city recycling directory
A household with electronics, scrap metal or tires that a local business on the city's published directory will take.
Cost & conditions
The directory is dated 2015-2016 and its printed prices no longer match the county schedule, so confirm each outlet's current acceptance and charge directly.
Arrange it
Open the directory, pick the outlet that handles your material, then call that business to confirm its current hours, limits and price before loading.
These are private businesses, not city or county facilities, and the directory itself says the information is subject to change. Treat every listing as a starting point that has to be confirmed.

Manhattan households with bagged grass clippings and leaves, or loose piles of limbs and branches, at the published cleanup time of year.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Put the material at the kerb by 7 a.m. on your area's scheduled day. City crews pass through each neighbourhood once and do not work on private property.
