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.

One large item a week and extra household clutter

Accepted with preparation

The weekly large item is Topeka's bulky item route. It runs with the regular refuse day, it is capped at one item a week, and it pauses during holiday weeks along with the extra bag allowance. Material the county does not treat as household refuse, such as a metal item or a load of remodeling debris, becomes a fee pickup arranged by phone.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households on Shawnee County Solid Waste refuse service, which includes one large item a week in the billed monthly service. Material the county does not consider household refuse is picked up separately for a fee.
When & how
The large item goes out with the refuse before 7 am on the regular refuse day, one a week, and not during a holiday week. Metal items are the exception to the automatic route and are scheduled at 785.233.4774.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to one item, keep it out of both carts, and leave three feet of clearance around the recycling cart so the collection arm can reach it. Bagged waste over 45 pounds, a personal container over 32 gallons or over 65 pounds, and liquids are all outside what the crews accept.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Refuse, recycling and the large item are all out by 7 am

The county asks for refuse and recycling at the collection point before 7:00 AM on the service day, and the one allowed large item goes out beside the cart on the same morning. Refuse is collected every week and recycling every other week, on the red or blue week the address lookup resolves. Trucks photograph addresses without carts and do not return before the next scheduled day.

Give the recycling cart three feet of clearance

The recycling cart goes to the curb or alley facing the street with at least three feet of clearance on all sides so the collection arm can reach it. Anything left outside the cart is handled as trash, bagged items are not accepted in the recycling cart, and a cart holding anything other than the accepted plastics 1, 2 and 5, metal and paper is not emptied.

Liquids stay out and sharps get a hard container

No liquids go in the refuse cart. Used needles and sharps go into an empty hard plastic container with a tight fitting lid, such as a laundry detergent or bleach bottle rather than a milk jug or a red biohazard container, with the lid taped and the contents written on the outside. Containers filled with sharps, and any hazardous material, belong at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility on NE 46th St.

Cut and tie anything long before it goes out

Branches, shrubs, boards and carpet go out cut and tied in bundles no longer than four feet and 18 inches in diameter, and bagged waste stays under 45 pounds a bag. A personal container has to hold no more than 32 gallons, have handles, and weigh no more than 65 pounds, and the county supplies carts for households that do not want to use their own.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Topeka?

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 much bulky junk can Topeka households put out each week?

Shawnee County refuse customers receive one large-item collection per week without a separate charge. Multiple pieces need separate arrangements.

Official guidance

Official guidance

Does a sleeper sofa need special preparation in Topeka?

Topeka ReStore accepts suitable furniture and building materials and offers free pickup by appointment. Mattresses, exercise equipment and electronics are excluded.

Official guidance

Can construction debris go in the Topeka refuse cart?

No. The county excludes demolition material, dirt, rock and concrete from household refuse. Rolling Meadows lists municipal solid waste and construction debris; confirm your specific load and price first.
