The cleanup after the work

The project is done. Get your space back.

The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.

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.

  1. Arrange the removal work

    Have the fixture safely detached and any plumbing or electrical connections handled by an appropriate professional. We do not remove installed fixtures or perform demolition.

  2. Keep the booked items separate

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

    Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

Construction and demolition material is banned from the barrels and the recycling cart, and the City directs the resident to a private hauler.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the barrels nor the recycling cart may take construction and demolition material, and the City states that the trash hauler will not collect it. Contractors are generally responsible for the debris that a project generates, and a resident arranging it directly has to contract a private hauler, which sets its own price.
When & how
By arrangement with a private hauler, never on the weekly collection day.
Get it ready
Keep asphalt pavement, brick, concrete, metal, wood, clean gypsum wallboard and toilets out of both the barrels and the recycling cart. A project that produces a load of this material needs the hauler scheduled before the work starts rather than a pile left beside the barrels, and a resident planning a move should allow time to arrange it.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

What the barrels and the cart refuse

Mattresses, textiles, construction and demolition material, televisions and computer monitors, appliances and household chemicals are all refused in the barrels and the recycling cart. Each of those items has its own route, and an item over 100 pounds needs a call before it goes out at all.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Waltham runs one weekly collection and then a short list of appointments for the material the barrels refuse. Trash and recycling go out together on the same collection day, with the barrels under the size and weight limits, and one bulk item a week can sit beside them as long as it can still be crushed by the truck and it is not over 100 pounds without a call first. Everything else works by arrangement. A mattress or box spring needs an appointment the Recycling Department books with the City's mattress recycler, a television or computer monitor needs a hauler appointment at least 24 hours ahead because screens are hazardous, and a major appliance needs the hauler booked before 3:30 p.m. the day before with the doors off and the unit upright at the curb by 7 a.m. Construction and demolition material has no city route at all, so a private hauler has to take it. Household chemicals go to a regional collection that runs one weekend a month from April through November and requires registration before the Friday deadline, and the site is closed for the winter, so the practical move is to clear the shelf before the season ends rather than let the cans sit until spring. A resident of a building with more than six units is outside the city route for both collection and bedding and works through building management or a private company.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does construction debris removal cost in Waltham?

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 Waltham?

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.

Where does construction debris go?

To a private hauler rather than the curb. Massachusetts bans the material from household disposal, the City lists asphalt, brick, concrete, metal, wood, clean wallboard and toilets among the banned items, and the City states that the trash hauler will not collect any of it.Official guidance

Who collects the trash in Waltham?

The City runs the residential collection and a contracted hauler does the work, while the Recycling Department handles carts, disposal questions and the special appointments. The route serves buildings with six or fewer units, and a larger building arranges its own service.Official guidance

How do I find my collection day?

The City publishes a pickup map that returns the trash and recycling day for an address, and the same map reports the A week or B week assignment used for yard waste. Trash and recycling are collected weekly on that day, and a holiday week pushes the rest of the week one day later.Official guidance

Who do I call about a missed pickup?

Report a missed trash, recycling or yard waste collection on the city line during weekday hours, and the department can follow up with the hauler on the route. If the material went out after 7 a.m., do not call, because the City asks residents to hold it for the following week instead.Official guidance

How do I get another recycling cart?

Call the Recycling Department, which supplies the household cart and takes requests for an extra one. A broken cart is repaired or replaced through the same call, and only the wheeled carts the City distributed are collected at the curb.Official guidance

What if my building has more than six units?

The city collection route and the contracted mattress appointment both apply to buildings with six or fewer units, so a larger apartment building or condo complex arranges trash, recycling and bedding collection through building management, the condo association or a private company. The City also publishes a directory of donation and reuse options for residents in that situation.Official guidance

Does Waltham hold a recycling event?

The City holds an annual Zero Waste Day at Nipper Maher Park where clothing, car tires, electronics, books and metal are recycled at no charge along with paper shredding. The date published in the current guide has already passed, so confirm the next date with the Recycling Department.Official guidance
