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.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Couches, sofas, tables and other household furniture go out as bulk items on the same day as the regular refuse collection.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novi residential addresses, where the refuse fee collected on the summer and winter tax bills covers trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk item collection. Household furniture only, prepared so one person can handle each item within the published weight and size limits.
When & how
Set it out by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day. Bulk items ride the regular refuse day rather than a booked appointment, and the City asks for a courtesy call to Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 so the driver can be prepared.
Get it ready
Leave the piece whole and keep it three feet from the carts so the truck can reach everything. Anything that has to be reduced goes out with the pieces kept together, and the published program and rates are residential rather than commercial.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses and box springs are collected as bulk items or regular refuse on the same day as the regular refuse collection.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novi residential addresses, where the refuse fee on the summer and winter tax bills includes bulk item collection. Household bedding only, set out where the hauler can reach it.
When & how
Put it out by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day, with a courtesy call to Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 if you want the driver prepared.

Refrigerators, freezers and large appliances

Accepted with preparation

Refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, toilets and similar large household appliances are collected as bulk items on the same day as the regular refuse collection.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novi residential addresses under the refuse fee. Household appliances only, set out on the regular collection day with any published preparation completed first.
When & how
Set it out by 7 a.m. on the regular refuse day, and call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 ahead of time as a courtesy so the driver knows the item is coming.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before set-out, since the City states the homeowner does not have to have the refrigerant removed. Drain all water from a water heater. Small household appliances such as a microwave can go into the trash container instead.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out by 7 a.m. on your collection day

Trash, recycling and bulky items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and carts should be back in by that evening. When an observed holiday falls on or before your collection day, service is one day behind for the rest of that week.

City trash collection rules, carts and bulk item pickup

Keep hazardous material out of the carts

Paint, chemicals, liquids, motor oil, car batteries, propane tanks and other hazardous material never go in a cart, in a refuse bag or at a recycling drop-off site. Take them to a RRRASOC household hazardous waste event, or to the hazardous waste drop-off in Livonia on a weekday.

Novi households with furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, small construction loads, bagged refuse or other bulky household material that meets the published limits.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Novi residential addresses, where the refuse fee billed on the summer and winter tax bills covers trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk item collection. The published program has single family and condominium rates, with no opt out and no seasonal hold.
Arrange it
Set the material out by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day and call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 as a courtesy so the driver can prepare. Bulk items do not need a booked appointment.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Novi's curbside service covers most household items, but material that cannot ride the truck has nearby routes. Household hazardous waste and electronic waste go to a RRRASOC collection event, or on non-event weekdays to the ERG facility on Merriman Road in Livonia at no charge for member community residents. The authority's recycling drop-off sites take ordinary recyclables such as cardboard, paper, glass bottles and jars and household metals rather than bulky items, and the Novi site off Lee BeGole Drive is closed during the road reconstruction, so residents are directed to the Southfield site at 20000 W. Eight Mile Road.

worth knowing.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Novi?

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.

Do I need an appointment for a couch pickup in Novi?

What will Novi refuse at the curb?
