City collection Furniture, carpet, wood and metal are named in the bulky item allowance, so one piece leaves with the weekly refuse and anything larger goes to the Smiths Creek Landfill, which accepts furniture and charges by the cubic yard for larger loads. From $15 per cubic yard of household refuse at the lowest published resident trailer rate at the Smiths Creek Landfill, or per load for a car, van or pickup at published resident rates. The published rates cover private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer, and a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste. One piece per household each week also goes out with the curbside refuse at no published per item fee.
City collection A mattress or box spring counts as the single bulky item a Port Huron household may set out with the weekly refuse. Extra pieces go to the Smiths Creek Landfill in Smiths Creek, where mattresses and box springs are priced per piece. $20 per mattress or box spring at the Smiths Creek Landfill resident rate. The published rate covers private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer, and a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste. One piece per household each week also goes out with the curbside refuse at no published per item fee.
City collection A stove, refrigerator, washer or dryer is named in the city's bulky item allowance, so one appliance goes out with the weekly refuse. The city asks that refrigerator doors come off before the unit is set out, and the contractor provides that removal. $40 per appliance that holds refrigerant at the Smiths Creek Landfill resident rate, with other appliances priced under the county posted gate fee and its hard-to-handle schedule. The published rate covers private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer. The county also names appliances in the material that draws an added hard-to-handle fee per cubic yard, so confirm the total at the gate, and note that a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste.
City collection Port Huron allows one bulky item per household each week beside the refuse, with mattresses, appliances, furniture, carpet, wood and metal among the named examples. A move-out or clean-out is larger than that allowance, so the load goes to the Smiths Creek Landfill. The city publishes the weekly one item allowance but no per item fee and no separate rate for extra material. Confirm the limit and how your address is billed with the contractor or the Department of Public Works, and price a larger load against the published resident landfill rates.
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.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Port Huron contracts its curbside collection, and the contractor runs refuse, recycling and yard waste from Monday through Thursday on a four day schedule. One large item per household can go out with the refuse each week, and the city names mattresses and box springs, appliances, furniture, carpet, wood and metal in that allowance. Households with more than one piece, or with TVs, building material and heavy items, take the load to the Smiths Creek Landfill in Smiths Creek, which publishes separate resident rates and also takes household hazardous waste by appointment.
A mattress or box spring counts as the single bulky item a Port Huron household may set out with the weekly refuse. Extra pieces go to the Smiths Creek Landfill in Smiths Creek, where mattresses and box springs are priced per piece.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per mattress or box spring at the Smiths Creek Landfill resident rate. The published rate covers private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer, and a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste. One piece per household each week also goes out with the curbside refuse at no published per item fee.
When & how
The curbside piece goes out on your regular collection day, which runs Monday through Thursday by district, and the landfill takes mattresses during its posted weekday and Saturday hours.
Get it ready
Set the bedding at the curb with the refuse before 7 a.m. on your collection day, on the property side of the curb where the street is paved. One piece uses the whole weekly allowance, so hold extra pieces for another week or take them to the landfill.
Furniture, carpet, wood and metal are named in the bulky item allowance, so one piece leaves with the weekly refuse and anything larger goes to the Smiths Creek Landfill, which accepts furniture and charges by the cubic yard for larger loads.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 per cubic yard of household refuse at the lowest published resident trailer rate at the Smiths Creek Landfill, or per load for a car, van or pickup at published resident rates. The published rates cover private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer, and a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste. One piece per household each week also goes out with the curbside refuse at no published per item fee.
When & how
The curbside piece is collected on your regular district day between Monday and Thursday. The landfill is open on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a Saturday window on a revised schedule.
Get it ready
Tie carpet securely in four foot bundles under fifty pounds, because loose carpet is not collected and bundles of that size come apart in the truck. Keep the piece at the curb on the property side of the street edge, and break a sectional into sections rather than roping it into one load.
A stove, refrigerator, washer or dryer is named in the city's bulky item allowance, so one appliance goes out with the weekly refuse. The city asks that refrigerator doors come off before the unit is set out, and the contractor provides that removal.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per appliance that holds refrigerant at the Smiths Creek Landfill resident rate, with other appliances priced under the county posted gate fee and its hard-to-handle schedule. The published rate covers private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer. The county also names appliances in the material that draws an added hard-to-handle fee per cubic yard, so confirm the total at the gate, and note that a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste.
When & how
The appliance goes out with the regular refuse on your district day between Monday and Thursday. The landfill takes appliances during its published weekday hours, with Saturday access on a revised schedule.
Get it ready
Remove every door before the appliance goes to the boulevard, since the city rules require doors to come off and the contractor performs that service. Keep the doors separate from the refuse and never set an appliance out with a door still attached.
The curbside recycling list covers paper, metal, plastic and glass only, so televisions and other electronics do not belong in the bin. St. Clair County runs an electronic recycling program with Community Enterprises at its Smiths Creek environmental services site.
City cost & eligibility
No electronic recycling price is published. Call the St. Clair County Environmental Services Department before you load to confirm whether the program is accepting your item and how it is priced, and note that the landfill's own acceptance list does not name electronics.
When & how
Drop-off only at the county environmental services site. The department listing gives weekday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and no separate electronic recycling hours are published.
Get it ready
Call before loading so you are not turned away at the gate, and keep electronic items out of the curbside recycling bin, where the accepted materials are paper, metal, plastic and glass. Nothing in the county pages lists devices or quantity limits for the electronic recycling program.
Material from major construction, remodeling, repair or demolition is on the city's list of items that are not collected at the curb, and earth and waste from building operations are excluded from the rubbish the city takes. The Smiths Creek Landfill accepts construction and demolition debris instead.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per cubic yard of building material at the Smiths Creek Landfill resident trailer rate, with a posted demolition gate fee at the same figure per cubic yard. The published rates cover private individuals delivering household type residential refuse from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer. Oversized or awkward pieces, including items over six feet long, large concrete chunks, boulders and inert material mixed with rebar, draw an added hard-to-handle fee per cubic yard, and a State of Michigan charge is added to all incoming waste.
When & how
There is no curbside pickup for this material. The landfill is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a Saturday window on a revised schedule, and special waste questions go to a landfill attendant.
Get it ready
Separate building material from household refuse, since the resident rate for building material is charged by the cubic yard and a mixed pile is harder to price. Call ahead about anything over six feet long, concrete chunks, boulders or material with rebar in it, because those loads carry the added hard-to-handle fee.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's list, but the allowance covers any solid waste with more weight and volume than container collection allows, and the rules refuse anything larger than the collection trucks handle. One piece can go out as the weekly bulky item.
City cost & eligibility
Port Huron publishes one bulky item per household each week and no per item fee. Confirm the piece with the contractor before you set it out, because the city also refuses items larger than the collection trucks allow.
When & how
The piece goes out with the regular refuse on your district day between Monday and Thursday. Anything the truck will not take has to be held or hauled to the Smiths Creek Landfill.
Get it ready
Set it at the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before, since late set-outs are not repeated. Confirm the piece first if the machine is long or heavy, because the city refuses items larger than the collection trucks handle.
Port Huron allows one bulky item per household each week beside the refuse, with mattresses, appliances, furniture, carpet, wood and metal among the named examples. A move-out or clean-out is larger than that allowance, so the load goes to the Smiths Creek Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the weekly one item allowance but no per item fee and no separate rate for extra material. Confirm the limit and how your address is billed with the contractor or the Department of Public Works, and price a larger load against the published resident landfill rates.
When & how
The item goes out on your regular collection day between Monday and Thursday and rides the same day as refuse and yard waste. Material the crew will not take is tagged with the reason, and the landfill handles the rest during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Keep every container at or under thirty five gallons and fifty pounds, bag loose trash, and place recycling and yard waste three feet from the refuse. Set everything out before 7 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before, since the crew does not repeat a route for a late set-out.
Out after 4 p.m. the day before and before 7 a.m. on collection day
Collection starts at 7 a.m., and everything has to be at the curb before then and no earlier than 4 p.m. of the day before. Emptied containers come in from the street before sundown on the collection day, and the crew does not come back for a late set-out.
Approved containers are galvanized metal or another non-rusting material with tight covers and handles, and none may hold more than thirty five gallons or weigh more than fifty pounds. Heavy plastic bags of at least two mil thickness are approved, while paper bags, cardboard boxes, fiberpaks, wire burners and grocery carts are not. Carpet has to be tied in four foot bundles under fifty pounds.
One item larger than the container allowance may go out with the refuse each week, and the city names bedding, appliances, furniture, carpet, wood and metal among the examples. Refrigerator doors come off before the unit is set on the boulevard. Anything the crew does not take is tagged with the reason it was left.
Refuse goes on the property side of the curb on paved streets, or between the sidewalk and the roadway edge where the street is unpaved. Recycling and yard waste sit three feet from the refuse set-out, and there are only two designated alleys where collection happens at all.
There is no collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. When one of them falls in the week, collection for the rest of that week runs one day late and routes return to schedule the following Monday. The 2026 schedule marks Independence Day and Christmas Day as holidays that fall on a weekend without moving the routes.
Yard waste is collected on the regular refuse day from the first full week of April to the second full week of December. It goes out in biodegradable paper bags or in containers marked with a large X, no larger than thirty five gallons and no heavier than fifty pounds, with brush bundled to four feet and two inches in diameter. Plastic bags, grocery bags and cardboard boxes are not accepted.
The city wide bulk leaf program runs in the fall with trucks working both zones, and leaves go in the boulevard within four feet of the curb before 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week. The program takes the bulk of the leaves rather than every leaf, does not guarantee a set number of passes and pauses for Thanksgiving. Bagged leaves and marked containers can also go out on the regular refuse day during the season.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

6779 Smiths Creek Road, Smiths Creek, MI 48074
Electronic recycling that the county Environmental Services Department runs with Community Enterprises of St. Clair County. The county publishes the program, the address and the phone number but no list of devices, so call before you load.
Confirm the item, the current program status and any charge by phone before you drive out, because the county page names no devices, quantity limits or rates and the landfill's own accepted waste list does not name electronics. Keep electronic items out of the curbside recycling bin, which takes paper, metal, plastic and glass only.
The department listing gives weekday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. No separate electronic recycling counter hours are published, so confirm the drop-off time when you call.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How many mattresses can Port Huron pick up at the curb?+
One. A mattress or box spring uses the single bulk item a household may set out each week, and it is collected with the refuse on your regular day. A second piece waits for another week or goes to the Smiths Creek Landfill, where mattresses and box springs are priced per piece.Official guidance
What does the St. Clair County landfill charge for a mattress or box spring?+
The landfill prints one rate for each mattress or box spring on its resident sheet, which is for private individuals delivering household material from their own residence in their own vehicle or trailer. A State of Michigan charge is added to every incoming load, so confirm the total when you arrive.Official guidance
Will Port Huron take a couch with the regular trash?+
Yes, as the one bulky item a household may set out with the weekly refuse. The city names furniture in that allowance, so the couch leaves on the regular collection day alongside the refuse. Keep it at the curb rather than in the alley or street, since collection happens only at the published point and alleys are not used.Official guidance
How should carpet be prepared for the Port Huron pickup?+
Roll it, tie it securely and cut it into four foot bundles that weigh no more than fifty pounds each. Loose carpet and oversized bundles are not collected, and the same weight and size limits apply to the other material a household sets out.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator or stove go out with Port Huron trash?+
Yes. Stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers are named in the bulky item allowance, so one appliance may be set out with the weekly refuse. Refrigerator doors must be removed first, and the city says the contractor provides that removal rather than leaving the unit closed.Official guidance
Do refrigerator doors have to come off before a Port Huron pickup?+
Yes. The city rules require the doors to be removed from refrigerators and kept separate from the solid waste, and the refuse page states that the refrigerator does not need its refrigerant removed and that the contractor will remove the doors. Removing them yourself before set-out avoids a tagged item.Official guidance
Where do televisions and electronics go in Port Huron?+
Televisions and other electronics are not part of the curbside recycling list, which covers paper, metal, plastic and glass. St. Clair County runs an electronic recycling program with Community Enterprises of St. Clair County at its environmental services site on Smiths Creek Road, so call before you load to confirm what the program is taking.Official guidance
Does the county publish a price for electronic recycling?+
No. The county page names the program, the address and the phone number but lists no devices, limits or rates, and the landfill's accepted waste list does not name electronics. Confirm the item, the current program status and any charge by phone before you drive out.Official guidance
What time do bulky items need to be at the curb in Port Huron?+
Before 7 a.m. on your collection day, and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. Collection runs Monday through Thursday by district, empties the containers at the curb, and does not repeat a route for a set-out that was late.Official guidance
Who do I call when Port Huron does not collect an item?+
Anything the crew leaves behind is tagged with the reason. Call the contractor, Emterra Environmental, first, and the city Department of Public Works if you still need help. Large brush and branch work belongs to the city's forestry division rather than the refuse crew.Official guidance
Does Port Huron collect bulky items from apartment buildings?+
The published service is limited to solid waste from residential buildings of four or fewer units inside the city limits. Nothing in the city documents separates renters from owners, so tenants in a larger building should confirm the arrangement with the property and with the Department of Public Works before setting anything out.Official guidance
How do I drop off a load at the Smiths Creek Landfill?+
Drive the load to 6779 Smiths Creek Road in Smiths Creek during posted hours and expect an attendant to check it at the gate. Weekday access is 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday access follows the revised schedule the county posts. Resident rates apply to household material brought from your own residence in your own vehicle or trailer.Official guidance
