The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

A single small remodel piece such as a taped door or mirror is taken as bulk, while a remodel, a move-out or a contractor load is outside the bulk program and has to be handled separately.
City cost & eligibility
Sterling Heights refuses a remodel, move-out or contractor load as bulk refuse and lists wood with nails or screws, brick and block, dirt and soil, and wet paint among the items that do not qualify, so a load that size needs a special pick-up from Priority Waste, a rented container, or the DPW Clean-up Saturday drop-off.
When & how
A single taped or bundled piece goes out on the regular refuse day. The Clean-up Saturdays on May 9 and 16, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. are the published drop-off for lumber and similar debris from residents.
Get it ready
Tape glass and mirrors as much as possible to keep them from shattering, cut lumber without nails or screws into bundles of four feet or shorter that stay under 50 pounds, and keep dirt, brick, block and nailed wood out of the curbside pile.
Anything tied, bundled or taped stays at four feet or shorter and under 50 pounds, with nails, screws and protruding objects removed. Each bundled piece counts as one of the five bulk items allowed that week.
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.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
