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.

Oversized household items

Accepted with preparation

Warren has no separate bulky item programme because oversized material is part of the weekly service. The guideline says to set anything too large for a container neatly beside the rubbish containers, and the Recycling Center backs that up by accepting furniture and household refuse from residents. Households that keep overfilling one cart can add another cart from the Sanitation Department, and carts are replaced free when the city damages them.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Oversized items go out with the regular weekly curbside collection at no separate bulky item charge, because the city places them beside the rubbish containers and publishes no bulky pickup fee; additional carts, which are billed separately, are ordered through the Sanitation Department.
When & how
Put the load beside your containers on your normal collection day by 6 a.m., or after 6 p.m. the evening before, and keep the carts three feet apart with their lids closed so they can be emptied.
Get it ready
Bag loose trash and keep the lid closed, cut and tie carpets and padding in four foot lengths, keep the pile clear of the compost cart, and leave out the material the city refuses curbside, which includes dirt, sod, bricks, rocks, tires and hazardous waste.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out by 6 a.m. or after 6 p.m. the night before

Refuse and compost go to the grass at the curb by 6 a.m. or no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before the scheduled collection, and until then the carts and bags stay at the side of the house or in the rear yard. The carts have to be three feet apart with the lids closed and nothing protruding from the top, and a compost pile is placed five feet from the rest of the garbage. When a holiday falls in the week, collection runs a day late for the rest of that week.

How oversized items are prepared

Furniture and mattresses are set neatly beside the rubbish containers rather than inside them, and a mattress with bed bugs has to be wrapped and contained in plastic first. Carpets and padding are cut, rolled and tied securely in four foot lengths. A refrigerator or freezer is emptied and its doors removed, with the freon left in place. An air conditioner or dehumidifier is different: the freon has to be removed by a licensed refrigerant recovery or heating and cooling company and a sticker proving the work has to be attached to the appliance before the crew can collect it.

What the Recycling Center requires of you

The yard is for bona fide Warren residents only, with proof of residency such as a driver's licence, and it expects a personal vehicle: commercial type vehicles and panel vans are turned away and contractors are not eligible to use the facility for any material. Yard personnel judge every questionable load, so what is accepted can vary from visit to visit, and there is no assistance to unload, because it is the resident's responsibility to place material into the proper containers.

Set oversized items out with the weekly collection

A Warren household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another item too large for the cart.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the weekly city collection at no separate bulky item charge, because the city guideline places oversized items beside the rubbish containers and publishes no fee for them.
Arrange it
Set the item neatly next to the rubbish containers on your regular collection day by 6 a.m., keeping three feet of clearance around the carts and the compost pile five feet away.

The list is item specific, so electronics, tires, dirt, sod, bricks and rocks are refused even when they are oversized, an air conditioner or dehumidifier needs licensed freon removal with a sticker before pickup, and a mattress with bed bugs has to be wrapped in plastic.

Take the load to the Recycling Center on Flanders

A household with furniture, an appliance, a computer or television, scrap metal, motor oil, antifreeze or a small amount of building material to drop off.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to bona fide Warren residents with proof of residency, arriving in a personal vehicle; contractors are not eligible and commercial vehicles and panel vans are turned away.
Arrange it
Drive the load to the yard on Flanders between Schoenherr and Groesbeck during its published hours, Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, and unload it yourself.

Yard personnel judge every questionable load, the yard refuses tree stumps, hazardous waste, shingles and large amounts of building material, tires are not on the accept list, and the address and weekday start time differ between the city page and the 2026 recycling handout, so confirm the house number before a first trip.

Add another cart to the address

A household that fills its trash or compost cart most weeks and would rather have more capacity than more trips to the curb.

Cost & conditions
$60 per additional trash, recycling or compost cart, charged at cost recovery only. Available to an eligible residence receiving city curbside service, ordered through the Sanitation Department and paid by cash or check because the office does not accept cards.
Arrange it
Request the cart from the Sanitation Department, either for delivery or collection at the office, and expect a delivery window of roughly three to ten business days depending on volume and weather.

Carts stay city property and are assigned to the service address, the first cart of each kind is issued free, and a resident pays for replacement when a previously issued cart is lost, stolen or damaged through misuse.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Warren's own drop-off yard is the Recycling Center on Flanders between Schoenherr and Groesbeck, open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, with Saturday hours subject to change. It is free to residents, but the gate rules matter: bring proof of residency such as a driver's licence, arrive in a personal vehicle because commercial type vehicles and panel vans are turned away, and unload the material yourself because no assistance is available. The yard takes furniture, household refuse, appliances, computers and electronics, scrap metal including copper, brass and aluminium, auto batteries, motor oil and antifreeze up to five gallons, cooking oil, paper and cardboard, compost material and limited amounts of building and construction material, and yard personnel judge anything questionable. It refuses tree stumps, hazardous waste, shingles, tires and large amounts of building material, and it is not a licensed dump, so a resident with any of that has to use the private vendors the city lists: two licensed disposal sites in Detroit and Lenox Township, Macomb County Environmental for hazardous waste, propane tank vendors, refrigerant recovery services, concrete, rock, dirt, clay and sod haulers, metal recyclers and stump removal contractors. For hazardous material there is a better route than a vendor, because Macomb County sponsors free monthly household hazardous waste drop-offs by appointment on 586-466-7923, and the city brochure also describes a Warren drop-off day at the Recycling Center on the Saturday after Labor Day. When the yard is in stock, wood chips, firewood and compost are free there, self serve and limited to three cans.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Warren?

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.

What counts as an oversized item in Warren?

Anything too large for the regular containers.

The city does, through its Sanitation Division.

The sanitation office is on 586-775-1400.Official guidance

Does a holiday delay collection in Warren?

Yes. When a holiday falls during the week, the collection schedule runs one day late and normal service resumes the following week. The city lists New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day as the observed holidays.Official guidance

When is the Warren Recycling Center open?

Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, with the Saturday hours subject to change. The yard is for Warren residents with proof of residency driving a personal vehicle, contractors are not eligible, and the resident unloads the material.Official guidance
