City collection Bossier City collects furniture at the curb on the regular pickup day when the resident calls the Solid Waste Office at least one day in advance, and the Drop-Off Station takes it from residents who haul it themselves. The City does not publish a per-item large-item fee, so the amount is confirmed when you call, while the Drop-Off Station charges its published per-400-pound rate.
City collection A mattress is a large item, so it is collected on the resident's regular pickup day after a call to the Solid Waste Office, or dropped at the station by weight. The City publishes no per-item mattress fee, and the Drop-Off Station charges per 400 pounds, so confirm the amount before set-out or arrival.
City collection Appliances are collected as a large item when the resident calls first, and the Recycling Center requires that all scrap metal and white goods be brought there rather than left for curbside recycling. Neither the curbside large item route nor the Recycling Center publishes a fee for white goods, so confirm any charge and the correct route by phone.
City collection Household garbage and trash are collected once a week from the provided 96 gallon cart when everything is bagged and containerized, with the cart out by 6:30am. $16 per month for residential curbside pickup, billed on the water bill with the published public service fee. Residential address inside the Bossier City curbside collection area; an additional city cart costs a separate published monthly amount.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Will the city take it?
Bossier City collects household garbage and yard waste once a week under the Solid Waste Division's contract with Republic Services, and residents have to call the Division before a large item such as an appliance or a piece of furniture is set out. Scrap metal, white goods, tires and used motor oil go to the Recycling Center on Old Shed Road, while heavier non-hazardous loads go to the Drop-Off Station and are charged by weight.
