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.

Reviewed · Sources below

Couches, sofas and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

The city does not collect furniture at the curb, but its free clean-up days take furniture from city residents at the Public Works drive-through sites.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Jackson residents only, at the free spring and fall City Clean-Up Day drive-through drop-off, because the event is funded by the city; Jackson runs no curbside furniture collection at any other time of year.
When & how
Check the city clean-up day page for the date and bring the furniture to the Department of Public Works Operations Center at 521 Water St., or to Nixon Park at 400 E. North St. when the fall event uses it, inside the announced window that has run 7:00 to 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday. Stay in the vehicle line and follow staff directions to the unloading area.
Get it ready
Load the furniture so staff can reach it from the drop zone, keep yard waste apart from the household trash, and leave anything on the refused list at home, because staff may check bags in the line and the city turns away appliances holding Freon, electronics, tires, batteries, paint or liquid waste, motor oil and hazardous waste.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

No city page prints mattresses on a free programme, so a mattress goes to the paid disposal center or onto a hauler's route unless the clean-up day confirms it.

City cost & eligibility
The city clean-up day accepted list names furniture rather than mattresses or box springs, so whether a mattress is taken at the free event has to be confirmed with the Department of Public Works at (517) 788-4170. The route that does name mattresses is the disposal center on Woodworth Road, which lists box springs and mattresses among its bulk items at a published per item rate, and a City-approved hauler can collect the mattress on its own route for a fee.
When & how
Confirm the destination first. If you are hauling it yourself, take the mattress to the disposal center at 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday and Saturday hours, and if you would rather not haul it, ask a City-approved hauler to add it to a scheduled collection.
Get it ready
Take the frame, headboard and bedding off because they are separate pieces, lift the mattress clear of the walkway so the load can be handled, and confirm the destination takes a mattress before you load it, because the clean-up day does not print mattresses on its accepted list.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

The clean-up days refuse appliances that contain or have held Freon, so a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit needs a self-haul or a hauler route.

City cost & eligibility
Jackson publishes no appliance collection, and the clean-up days refuse appliances that contain or have already held Freon. The disposal center on Woodworth Road names appliances such as stoves, water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines and clothes dryers among its bulk items and prices a unit holding Freon at a higher rate with the doors removed, so confirm whether the unit holds refrigerant and what the gate will charge before loading.
When & how
Take the unit to the disposal center at 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday or Saturday hours, or put it on a City-approved hauler's route, and leave it out of any clean-up day load while it still holds refrigerant.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer as the disposal center requires, keep the cord with the appliance, and never load a Freon unit for the free clean-up day.

Televisions

Special rules apply

Televisions are refused at the city clean-up days, so a set moves through the paid self-haul disposal center or a hauler's route.

City cost & eligibility
From $37.2 per bulk item at the disposal center on Woodworth Road, whose bulk list names large televisions alongside couches, mattresses, box springs and appliances. Self-haul to 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday and Saturday hours; the city clean-up days refuse electronics and Jackson publishes no television collection of its own.
When & how
Take the set to the disposal center at 555 Woodworth Rd, which opens Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon, or hand it to a City-approved hauler instead of putting it in a clean-up day load.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, wipe anything that stores data, keep the stand and cables with the set, and confirm the destination takes the television before loading it, because electronics are on the clean-up day refused list.

Computers and household electronics

Special rules apply

The city refuses electronics at its clean-up days and publishes no electronics collection, and the county recycling pages name the drop-off organisations without an item list, so confirm the destination first.

City cost & eligibility
The city refuses electronics at its clean-up days and prints no electronics programme of its own. Jackson County's recycling pages name the drop-off organisations that serve the county, including a first Saturday community collection on North Brown Street, but they do not carry an item by item acceptance list or a fee schedule, so confirm the material, the drop-off day and any charge with the organisation before you load a vehicle.
When & how
Check with the county-listed drop-off organisation closest to you, or add the item to a City-approved hauler's route, and keep electronics out of the clean-up day load.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from drives and phones, keep the power supply and cables with the device, and confirm the drop-off window before you drive out, because the county prints the organisations' hours rather than their accepted item lists.

Construction and remodeling debris

Special rules apply

Contractor and demolition material has no city route, so the load goes by weight to the disposal center or onto a private hauler's account.

City cost & eligibility
From $77.15 per ton at the disposal center on Woodworth Road, which applies a two-ton minimum to loose trash and construction waste while bags of household trash are exempt. Self-haul to 555 Woodworth Rd during weekday and Saturday hours; the city clean-up days take household trash, boxes, furniture and yard waste rather than contractor or demolition loads, and Jackson runs no curbside collection.
When & how
Take the load to the disposal center at 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday or Saturday hours, and expect the gate to weigh loose construction material under the tonnage minimum rule.
Get it ready
Keep the load covered in transit because uncovered loads draw a fee at the gate, and set bagged household trash apart from the construction material because the bags are exempt from the tonnage minimum.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

No city, county or operator page names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item stays a confirm instruction on the paid self-haul or hauler routes.

City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment appears on no retained city, county or operator list, so the route and the charge have to be confirmed. A machine can be self-hauled to the disposal center on Woodworth Road, where a piece that qualifies as a bulk item is priced per item, or it can go on a City-approved hauler's route, and the Department of Public Works can be reached at (517) 788-4170 to ask whether the free clean-up day will take it.
When & how
Confirm the destination first, then either take the machine to the disposal center at 555 Woodworth Rd during its opening hours or book it with a City-approved hauler.
Get it ready
Strip the console and any loose weights so the frame is lighter, fold the deck where the maker allows it, and keep the machine out of a clean-up day load until staff confirm they can take it.

Bulky waste and household cleanouts

Special rules apply

Jackson collects no bulky waste at the curb, so a cleanout means the free clean-up day for what it takes and a paid self-haul or hauler route for the rest.

City cost & eligibility
Jackson runs no curbside bulky item collection. The free option is the spring and fall City Clean-Up Day, which takes furniture, boxes, general household trash and yard waste from city residents at the Public Works drive-through sites, and refuses batteries, tires, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, hazardous waste, electronics, motor oil and appliances holding Freon. Everything else is paid: the disposal center on Woodworth Road prices bags, bulky items, Freon units and construction waste separately, and a City-approved hauler collects on its own schedule for a fee.
When & how
Use the announced clean-up day window for what the event accepts, and take or book everything else through the disposal center or a City-approved hauler.
Get it ready
Sort the load before it leaves the house: yard waste, boxes and household trash for the clean-up day, and anything on the refused list set aside for a paid route, because staff may check bags in the drop-off line.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Trash service in Jackson is a private contract

Jackson does not run a citywide curbside collection. The city's utilities page tells new residents they need to find a trash pickup provider and prints the approved list, and the city's 2022 refuse review said Jackson was alone among its peer cities in not providing garbage service directly or through a single contracted hauler. Weekly trash, curbside recycling and any bulky collection therefore come from whichever approved hauler a household signs with, while the city's own programmes are the autumn loose leaf collection and the spring and fall clean-up days.

The clean-up day is a drive-through event for residents

The free City Clean-Up Day runs every spring and fall and is open to City of Jackson residents because the city funds it. Loads move through organised drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center at 521 Water St., and the fall event also uses Nixon Park at 400 E. North St. Drivers stay in their vehicles, staff point them to the right unloading area, and residents help unload when they can. Yard waste, general household trash, boxes and furniture are accepted, while batteries, tires, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, appliances holding Freon, hazardous waste, electronics and motor oil are refused, and staff may check bags in the line.

Outside those windows disposal is a paid route

Anything the free programmes do not cover is paid. Granger's Disposal Center of Jackson on Woodworth Road takes household trash by the bag or the ton, bulk items including furniture, mattresses, box springs and large televisions, appliances with a higher rate for a Freon unit, construction waste under a tonnage minimum and yard waste in paper bags. Jackson County lists the drop-off organisations for household recyclables instead of running a site, and the Conservation District holds household hazardous waste collections two or three times a year by reservation for a per vehicle charge.

Arrange it
Load the vehicle, join the drive-through line, follow staff directions to the unloading area and help unload when you are able.

Self-haul to the disposal center on Woodworth Road

A household with a truck or trailer load of household trash, bulky items, a Freon appliance, construction debris or yard waste that would rather pay by weight or by item than book a hauler.

Cost & conditions
From $4.13 per 30-gallon bag of household trash, with bulk items at $37.20 each, Freon units at $66.82 each with the doors removed, construction and loose trash at $77.15 per ton under a two-ton minimum, and yard waste from $4.47 a paper bag. Self-haul to Granger's Disposal Center of Jackson at 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday and Saturday hours, and pay by card because cash is not accepted.
Arrange it
Load and cover the load, drive to 555 Woodworth Rd, and pay at the gate by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

Loose trash and construction waste carry a two-ton minimum, yard waste has to be in paper bags, a variable fuel charge is added to each transaction, and prices can change.

Put the load on a trash hauler's route

A household that would rather have weekly trash, curbside recycling or a bulky item collected from the property than haul it somewhere.

Cost & conditions
Each approved hauler sets its own cart sizes, service days and charges, and the city does not publish a rate, so ask the provider for a quote. Emmons Service, for one, sells curbside recycling as an optional add-on rather than folding it into the base trash service.
Arrange it
Choose a provider from the city's approved list, set up service, and ask about the extra charge for a bulky item or an appliance when you book.

Bulky items, appliances holding Freon and construction material are usually a separate arrangement from the weekly cart, and the city does not collect them, so confirm what the hauler will take before the pickup day.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling in Jackson runs through one commercial disposal center plus the county's drop-off organisations. Granger's Disposal Center of Jackson at 555 Woodworth Rd opens Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon, and takes household trash in 30-gallon bags, loose trash and construction waste by the ton under a two-ton minimum, bulk items such as furniture, mattresses, box springs and large televisions, appliances with a higher rate for a unit holding Freon and yard waste in paper bags. The county's recycling pages list drop-off organisations rather than a county facility: a first Saturday community collection on North Brown Street, Emmons Service on Water Street on weekdays and Saturday morning, and LRS on Brooklyn Road on weekdays, with the Conservation District named as the lead organisation. Household hazardous waste waits for a Conservation District collection, which runs two or three times a year by reservation for a per vehicle charge at the Jackson County Department of Transportation.

County-listed drop-off organisations for household recyclables

Recycling Jackson drop-off at 1401 N. Brown St.

1401 N. Brown St., Jackson, MI 49201

Household recyclables collected by the organisations Jackson County lists, with the printed hours for the first Saturday community collection on North Brown Street, Emmons Service on Water Street on weekdays and Saturday morning, and LRS on Brooklyn Road on weekdays.

The county page lists the organisations and their hours without an item by item acceptance list or a fee schedule, so confirm the material you are carrying with the organisation before loading a vehicle; the city clean-up days refuse electronics, batteries and hazardous material, and Emmons refuses toys, furniture and pools in its recycling stream.

First Saturday of each month, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on North Brown Street; the county also prints Emmons Service Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and LRS Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Jackson County publishes no fee schedule for the listed drop-off organisations, so confirm any charge with the organisation before you load.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Jackson?

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.

Where can I take a couch in Jackson?

The city does not collect furniture at the curb. The free route is the City Clean-Up Day, which runs every spring and fall for City of Jackson residents only, over drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center on Water Street and, in the fall, at Nixon Park on East North Street. Furniture, boxes, general household trash and yard waste are accepted there, and anything the event refuses has to be handled another way.Official guidance

Where does a mattress go in Jackson?

A mattress is not on the city clean-up day accepted list, which names furniture, boxes, household trash and yard waste, so confirm with the Department of Public Works at (517) 788-4170 before counting on the free event. The paid route that does name mattresses and box springs is the disposal center on Woodworth Road, which prices a mattress as a bulk item, and a City-approved hauler can also take it on a scheduled collection.Official guidance

What do I do with an old refrigerator in Jackson?

A Freon unit is refused at the city clean-up days, so the refrigerator needs a self-haul or a hauler. The disposal center on Woodworth Road takes appliances as bulk items and asks that the doors be removed from a unit that holds Freon, which it prices above a plain bulk item, and a City-approved hauler will collect an appliance on its route for a fee. Confirm the refrigerant question and the charge before the unit leaves the house.Official guidance

Where does a television go in Jackson?

Not to a city clean-up day, because electronics are on the refused list for those events. The disposal center on Woodworth Road counts a large television as a bulk item at a published per item rate, and a City-approved hauler can take the set as part of a paid collection instead. Confirm the destination before the set leaves the house.Official guidance

Where do computers and printers go in Jackson?

The city does not collect electronics, and they are on the refused list for the city clean-up days. Jackson County lists the drop-off organisations that serve the county rather than running a site, and the organisation it prints hours for opens on the first Saturday of the month at 1401 N. Brown St., but the county page does not carry an item by item acceptance list, so confirm the material and any charge before you drive out. A City-approved hauler is the other route.Official guidance

How is construction debris handled in Jackson?

There is no city collection for it. The clean-up days take household trash, boxes, furniture and yard waste rather than a contractor or demolition load, and the disposal center on Woodworth Road takes construction waste by the ton with a minimum on loose material while bags of household trash are exempt. A private hauler can also carry the debris on its own route.Official guidance

Can a treadmill go out in Jackson?

No page prints a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed rather than assumed. The city clean-up days take furniture, boxes, household trash and yard waste from residents, and anything heavier has to go to the disposal center on Woodworth Road or onto a private hauler's route, so ask the Department of Public Works at (517) 788-4170 and confirm the charge before the machine leaves the house.Official guidance

Does Jackson pick up bulky items at the curb?

No. The city does not collect trash, recycling or bulky waste at the curb, and its utilities page tells new residents to choose a trash pickup provider from the list of City-approved haulers. The free route the city does run is the City Clean-Up Day, held every spring and fall for City of Jackson residents at the Public Works drive-through sites, and it takes furniture, boxes, general household trash and yard waste while refusing electronics, tires, batteries, motor oil and hazardous material.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Jackson?

Household trash is a private arrangement. The city's utilities page tells new residents they need to find a trash pickup provider and prints the City-approved list, which runs from Allied Waste Services and Buckner's Garbage Service through Emmons Service, Granger, Modern Waste and Mohawk Refuse. The city itself collects loose leaves in the autumn and runs the spring and fall clean-up days, and the weekly cart, the recycling service and the collection day all come from the hauler the household chooses.Official guidance

What can I take to the Jackson City Clean-Up Day?

The free event runs every spring and fall for City of Jackson residents only, over drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center on Water Street and, in the fall, at Nixon Park on East North Street. Accepted items are yard waste including brush and grass clippings, general household trash, boxes and furniture. Refused items are batteries, tires, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, appliances that contain or have held Freon, hazardous waste, electronics and motor oil, and staff may check bags in the line.Official guidance

Can the city take a mattress or an old appliance?

Not as a routine collection. Jackson has no curbside bulky pickup, its clean-up days name furniture rather than mattresses and refuse appliances that contain or have held Freon, and no city page prints an appliance programme. A mattress or an appliance therefore goes to the disposal center on Woodworth Road, where mattresses and appliances are bulk items and a Freon unit is priced higher with its doors removed, or onto a City-approved hauler's route.Official guidance

Where can I drop off recyclables near Jackson?

Jackson County lists the drop-off organisations that serve the county rather than running a site of its own. The organisation whose hours the county prints opens on the first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1401 N. Brown St., and the county also lists Emmons Service on Water Street on weekdays, LRS on Brooklyn Road on weekdays and the Conservation District as its lead organisation for recycling outreach. Household hazardous waste is separate, and runs through Conservation District collections two or three times a year by reservation for a per vehicle charge.Official guidance

How do I choose a trash hauler in Jackson?

Start with the City-approved provider list on the city utilities page, which is where the city directs new residents. The haulers run their own services on top of the weekly cart: Emmons Service sells an optional curbside recycling cart to its customers and keeps a drop-off yard on Water Street, and the county page notes that Granger picks up recycling bi-weekly for its customers. Charges, cart sizes and collection days come from the provider rather than from the city.Official guidance
