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, sofas and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Southfield collects furniture at the curb on the regular rubbish day as part of the white goods collection, which the city says covers all appliances and furniture, and the household is limited to two pieces a week.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single-family residential homes whose rubbish fee is included in the summer tax bill; apartments, condominiums and businesses arrange their own collection.
When & how
Put the furniture at the curb before 7 a.m. on the regular collection day so an inventory can be taken, within the limit of two pieces a week.
Get it ready
Keep each piece to a size and weight one person can manage, set it out after 4 p.m. the afternoon before and before 7 a.m. on the collection day, and keep cleaning fluids, paint thinner, commercial waste, drywall, 2x4 studs in bulk, firewood and kitchen cabinets out of the load.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Southfield takes appliances on the same curbside white goods collection as furniture, with one safety rule on top: every door and lid has to be removed before the unit is placed at the curb.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single-family residential homes whose rubbish fee is included in the summer tax bill, within the two piece weekly bulk limit.
When & how
An appliance goes out on the regular rubbish day before 7 a.m., and it counts as one of the two bulk pieces allowed at the curb each week.
Get it ready
Remove all doors and lids for safety before the appliance goes to the curb, and keep tires, concrete, earth, logs and stumps out of the load because the city lists them as unacceptable.

Bulky items and large loads

Accepted with preparation

Southfield allows no more than two bulk items at the curb in a week inside the regular rubbish collection, and a household that needs more, such as when moving or remodeling, books a special pickup with the hauler.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single-family residential homes whose rubbish fee is included in the summer tax bill, with the weekly curb allowance limited to two bulk items.
When & how
Bulk items ride the regular collection day with everything out by 7 a.m., and a special pickup is booked with Priority Waste on (586) 228-1200 when the load is larger than the weekly allowance.
Get it ready

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Everything goes out by 7 a.m. on the collection day

Trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items all go to the curb on the regular rubbish day, set out after 4 p.m. the afternoon before and no later than 7 a.m. on the pickup day. Mixed refuse belongs in bags or watertight containers of 32 gallons or less with tight fitting lids and handles, yard waste goes in paper bags or marked containers at least three feet from the trash, and everything at the curb has to be a size and weight one person can manage.

Two bulk pieces a week, and bigger loads are booked

The rubbish route takes no more than two bulk items at the curb each week, which is the same allowance that covers furniture and appliances under the white goods collection. When a move or a remodel produces more than that, or a load such as kitchen cabinets, a fence, broken concrete, dirt or piles of stone is too large for the route, the city says the work has to be handled under contract with the rubbish contractor or an independent contractor, and Priority Waste can be called on (586) 228-1200 to arrange a special pickup.

A mattress needs a bag and an appliance needs its doors off

Two preparation rules decide whether a large item is collected in Southfield. A mattress or box spring has to be wrapped in a mattress disposal bag or a mattress storage bag before it goes to the curb, and an appliance has to have every door and lid removed for safety first. Both then go out on the regular rubbish day inside the two piece weekly allowance.

Hazardous waste and electronics leave the curbside route

Cleaning fluids, paint thinner and turpentine are hazardous waste and belong at a RRRASOC household hazardous waste event, and building materials, tires, concrete, earth, logs and stumps are refused with the rubbish as well. RRRASOC accepts household hazardous waste and electronic waste at every event for the nine member communities including Southfield, and its schedule lists July 11 at Wixom, October 3 at Novi and October 24 at the Materials Recovery Facility on Mapleridge Avenue in Southfield for 2026, with a free weekday drop-off at ERG Environmental Services in Livonia between events.

City of Southfield Public Works, Priority Waste and RRRASOC

Book a special pickup with Priority Waste

A household with more than two bulk pieces in a week, or a move or remodel that produces a larger load than the curbside allowance.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate for a special pickup beyond the two piece weekly bulk allowance, so confirm the item list and the price with Priority Waste when booking.
Arrange it
Call Priority Waste on (586) 228-1200 or use its Southfield self-service page to report the load and get a pickup date, then have the material at the curb on the day given.

Extra pickups are quoted by the hauler rather than the city, and hazardous waste, tires, concrete, earth, logs, stumps and commercial waste stay off the rubbish route.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Southfield is a contracted curbside city with no resident transfer station, so self haul runs to the RRRASOC household hazardous waste programme rather than to a city dump. RRRASOC serves nine member communities including Southfield, takes electronic waste at every household hazardous waste event, and lists July 11 at Wixom, October 3 at Novi and October 24 at the Materials Recovery Facility on Mapleridge Avenue in Southfield for 2026, with Saturday events adding the mobile shredder and Simple Recycling and weekday events limited to household hazardous waste. Between events, member community residents can drop household hazardous waste at ERG Environmental Services on Merriman Road in Livonia on weekdays without a fee, and ERG also offers a home pickup for a fee paid directly to the company. Everything else stays with the curbside contractor: two bulk pieces a week, furniture and appliances counted as white goods, a mattress wrapped in a disposal bag, appliance doors and lids removed, and yard waste and brush on the regular rubbish day from mid-April to mid-December. Hazardous waste, building materials, tires, concrete, earth, logs and stumps never go on the rubbish truck, and a load larger than the weekly allowance is quoted by Priority Waste or an independent contractor.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Southfield?

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.

How does Southfield pick up a couch?

A couch goes out with the regular rubbish on the collection day as a bulk piece, since the city counts furniture as white goods, and the household may place no more than two bulk pieces at the curb in a week. Have it out before 7 a.m. so an inventory can be taken, and book a special pickup with the hauler for anything larger.Official guidance

What does Southfield require for an appliance pickup?

An appliance is collected on the regular rubbish day as white goods, but every door and lid must be removed for safety first. It counts as one of the two bulk pieces a household may place at the curb each week, and the city refuses tires, concrete, earth, logs and stumps on that route.Official guidance

How many bulk items can go out in Southfield?

No more than two bulk items at the curb each week, collected on the regular rubbish day. The city counts all appliances and furniture as white goods inside that allowance, and a household that needs more, such as when moving or remodeling, schedules a special pickup with Priority Waste instead.Official guidance

Who collects trash curbside in Southfield?

Southfield contracts weekly curbside collection for single-family homes and includes the cost in the summer tax bill, with collection days set by neighbourhood between the mile roads and everything at the curb by 7 a.m. Apartments, condominiums and businesses arrange their own service, and Priority Waste runs the residential service and answers on (586) 228-1200.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a large item in Southfield?

Large items go out with the regular rubbish as bulk pieces, but no more than two a week, and the city counts furniture and every appliance as white goods inside that allowance. A mattress has to be wrapped in a mattress disposal bag or mattress storage bag first, and an appliance has to have all of its doors and lids removed. For a larger load, book a special pickup with Priority Waste.Official guidance

What will Southfield not take at the curb?

Hazardous waste and building materials are refused with the rubbish, along with tires, concrete, earth, logs, stumps and yard waste in plastic bags, and cleaning fluids, paint thinner and turpentine are routed to the Household Hazardous Waste Days. Drywall, 2x4 studs in bulk, firewood and kitchen cabinets are named as unacceptable too. Electronics and chemicals go to the RRRASOC household hazardous waste events or the free ERG drop-off in Livonia.Official guidance
