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.

Bulky items on the regular trash day

Accepted with preparation

Rochester Hills takes bulky material at the curb on the regular collection day, so a larger piece goes out beside the cart without a call ahead and the driver sends a separate truck for it.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky collection is part of the single family residential program that every household in the city pays for through its quarterly bill; there is no separate per item charge for a bulky piece set out on the collection day.
When & how
Set the piece out next to your cart on your collection day, before the 7 am pickup time, and leave it there while the crew works the street.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of both carts, leave room around the carts so the lifting arm can reach them, and follow the item specific preparation for mattresses, appliances, carpet, wood and disassembled furniture.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Everything leaves on your collection day

Garbage, recycling and bulky items all go out by 7 am on the collection day for your address, which is one of Monday through Thursday. Hauling runs between 7 am and 7 pm, material may not sit at the roadside sooner than 24 hours before pickup, and containers come back from the roadside the same day.

City of Rochester Hills and Priority Waste, with the Southeast Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority

Put the piece out with the regular trash

A single family household in Rochester Hills with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other bulky piece that will not fit in a cart.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulky collection is included in the quarterly single family residential program that every household in the city pays for, so a piece set out on the collection day carries no separate charge.
Arrange it
Set the piece next to your carts by 7 am on your collection day and leave it there, with no call ahead, following the preparation the city lists for that item.

The curb takes household bulky items only. Car parts and pianos are refused, tires are sent to a tire store, paint, chemicals and most electronics go to SOCRRA instead, and asphalt, brick, concrete, railroad ties, rocks, root balls and sod are refused as project material.

Check local arrangements

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Anything the curb will not take usually leaves Rochester Hills by car. The SOCRRA drop-off center at 995 Coolidge Road in Troy takes paint, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and used electronics by appointment, and a Rochester Hills resident buys and prints a city voucher first because the center admits voucher holders from this community. Someone hauling a truckload instead can weigh it in at the SOCRRA transfer station next door on 991 Coolidge Road during the limited dumping hours. The city also points car parts to a junkyard, tires to a local tire store and concrete to a crushing or aggregate business, and the yard waste and compost site at 1741 School Road in Rochester Hills serves the yard trimmings that are not part of this guide.

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.

How does trash pickup work in Rochester Hills?

Rochester Hills has one citywide hauler for single family homes, so you get a trash cart and a recycling cart and your collection day is one of Monday through Thursday. Everything goes out by 7 am on that day, bulky items go next to the cart with no call ahead, a holiday pushes pickup back one day, and items the curbside program refuses, such as paint, chemicals and most electronics, go to the SOCRRA drop-off center in Troy.Official guidance
