You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

Blaine's bulky item route runs through the organized collection hauler. Households on the 96 gallon premium service get six bulk items a calendar year with no extra charge, anything beyond that is billed per item, and households on the 38 or 68 gallon service book and pay for every bulk pickup. The published curbside list covers the bed, couch, dresser, upholstered and non upholstered chairs, exercise equipment, mattress or box spring, table, swing set, bike, bathtub or laundry tub, door, window, grills, garage door opener, drained lawnmower, pallets, sink, toilet, vacuum and water softener.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households on the city 96 gallon premium service, for the first six bulk items in a calendar year. Additional items, and every bulk pickup for households on the 38 or 68 gallon service, are quoted and billed by Walters Recycling and Refuse.
When & how
Call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 at least one business day before the regular collection day to book the item and get the price. The approved item goes out next to the trash cart the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep every bulk item out of the trash cart, out of the recycling cart, and off the sidewalk and the street, and prepay the service so the crew is expecting the item. Services that fall after a holiday may run one day late, and the hauler publishes the holiday delays for the year.
The city ordinance behind the collection rules asks for refuse, recyclables and yard waste to be set out immediately behind the curb and within two feet of it, and containers are not allowed in the street. Collection begins at 7AM and the carts are out at the curb by 7AM, so the night before is the safe time to stage everything.
Wrap the mattress, roll the carpet, drain the appliance
A mattress or box spring has to be sealed in a plastic mattress bag or fully wrapped in plastic before the crew will take it. Carpeting goes out rolled and tied or taped with each roll no longer than four feet. Appliances must be empty, water softener brine tanks completely free of salt and water, and the doors removed from any refrigerator, freezer or other appliance that can latch shut.
Bulk items and appliances are not collected on their own. The city asks households without the premium service to call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 to arrange the pickup, and it states that all appliance and bulk item services are prepaid. The hauler asks for the booking at least one business day before the regular collection day and gives the price at that point.
Services that follow a holiday may be delayed one day, and the hauler publishes the delay for each holiday of the year. The 2026 list delays Friday services by a day after New Year's Day, every service by a day all week after Memorial Day and after Labor Day, Thursday and Friday by a day after Thanksgiving, and Friday by a day after Christmas, with no delay around Independence Day.
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.
City of Blaine organized collection with Walters Recycling and Refuse
Book a bulk item pickup with the city hauler
A household with a couch, dresser, table, mattress, box spring, treadmill or another large item that will not fit in the trash cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Households on the city 96 gallon premium service, which includes six bulk items a calendar year at no additional charge. Households on the 38 or 68 gallon service, and any item beyond the six item yearly allotment, are quoted and billed by Walters Recycling and Refuse.
Arrange it
Call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 at least one business day before the regular collection day, describe the item, take the quote and prepay it. Place the approved item at the curb next to the trash cart the night before or by 6:30 a.m., and the crew takes it away on the normal service day.
The service covers larger normal household items rather than a whole house. Construction debris and carpet came out of the premium service in 2017, the six item allotment is per calendar year rather than per pickup, and every item has to be booked and prepaid before it goes out.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Blaine.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Blaine?+
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 many bulk items are included each year?+
Six. The city 96 gallon premium service allows six bulk items per calendar year with no extra charge, and a fee is charged for each additional item. Households on the 38 or 68 gallon service have no included bulk items, and the city asks them to call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 to arrange and prepay each pickup.Official guidance
Who handles garbage collection in Blaine?+
Walters Recycling and Refuse, under the city single hauler organized collection system. Every residential property is on the contract that began in January 2016, Walters collects refuse weekly and recycling every other week, and the city bills the household for refuse and recycling while any extra service is billed directly by Walters. Utility billing answers at 763-785-6141, Walters at 763-780-8464, and the city solid waste and recycling programme at 763-717-2637.Official guidance
How do I prepare a mattress or carpet for pickup?+
Seal the mattress or box spring in a plastic mattress bag or wrap it fully in plastic, which the hauler requires for crew safety. Carpeting goes out rolled and tied or taped with each roll no longer than four feet. Both are bulky items, so neither goes in the trash cart, both have to be booked with Walters at 763-780-8464 first, and both stay clear of the sidewalk and the street.Official guidance
What does the 96 gallon premium service include?+
Six bulk items per calendar year at no extra charge, on top of weekly refuse and every other week recycling, and a fee for each additional bulk item after the six. The footnote on the city rate page also records that the council voted in 2017 to remove construction debris and carpet from that premium benefit, so a remodeling load is a separate paid arrangement rather than one of the six items.Official guidance
