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.

Beyond furniture and appliances, the monthly pickup takes a set of medium items such as bicycles, grills, toilets, sinks, cabinets, doors, windows, light fixtures, scrap metal, tools and up to 50 cubic feet of building materials, one offering per month.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. For households with City of Bloomington garbage and recycling service, one scheduled pickup a month included in the monthly Bulky Item Management Fee on the residential utility bill, so there is no separate charge at pickup. Households that opt out of city solid waste service are not eligible for bulky material collections or the Citywide Curbside Cleanup program.
When & how
Book with Better Futures Minnesota by 4 p.m. at least two business days before your pickup day at 612-353-5400 or online, and put the items out by 7 a.m. on your regular garbage and recycling day during the first full week of the month.
Get it ready
Choose one monthly combination: two large items, one large item with two medium items, one large item with 50 cubic feet of building materials, three medium items, or two medium items with building materials, plus up to four tools. Keep everything dry and cover the load in wet weather.
Tires are refused by the monthly bulky pickup and by Curbside Cleanup, so they go to the annual recycling drop-off event or the Hennepin County drop-off facility on West 96th Street.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per tire at the annual recycling drop-off event and at the Hennepin County drop-off facility, paid in cash or by check at the city event. Bloomington residents at the city event, and Hennepin County households with proof of residency at the county facility. The county limits a load to 16 tires with 32 per household each year, takes tires with or without rims under four feet in diameter, and refuses bicycle tires.
When & how
Take tires to the annual recycling drop-off event in September at the Western Maintenance Center, 10500 Hampshire Ave S, or to the Hennepin County drop-off facility on West 96th Street.
Get it ready
Tires may stay on the rim. Keep bicycle tires and oversized tires out of the load, and confirm the county's current load and yearly limits before you make a large trip.
Schedule with Better Futures Minnesota before 4 p.m. at least two business days ahead, then put the items at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular garbage and recycling day during the first full week of the month. Everything must be dry, and items should be covered with a tarp when rain or snow is expected. Better Futures opens the cover to inspect and leaves the tarp behind.
In an even-numbered year, put materials out no more than two days before your district Saturday and by 7 a.m. on the day itself. Weight cannot exceed 100 pounds per item and the truck passes only once, so anything left behind stays at the curb. Remove or tie shut appliance doors, drain engines, and break items down so one person can handle them.
The event runs on a Saturday in September at the Western Maintenance Center, 10500 Hampshire Ave S, and payment is cash or by check only. Pack your vehicle in the reverse order of the stations so unloading stays quick, keep walking or biking materials in out of the event, and turn the vehicle off while unloading.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bloomington.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Bloomington?+
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 much can I put out with the monthly bulky pickup?+
One offering a month for households with city service: two large items, or one large item with two medium items, or one large item with 50 cubic feet of building materials, or three medium items, or two medium items with building materials, and up to four tools can be added to any pickup.Official guidance
Where can I take old tires in Bloomington?+
The annual recycling drop-off event in September takes tires at a per-tire price, and the Hennepin County drop-off facility on West 96th Street takes the same tires at its own per-tire price with a load and yearly limit and no bicycle tires. Neither the monthly bulky pickup nor Curbside Cleanup accepts tires.Official guidance
Who can use Bloomington's bulky item programs?+
Households with City of Bloomington garbage and recycling service, which the city describes as single family homes, duplexes and certain townhomes that opted in. Apartments and some townhomes are outside the curbside programs and pay through their own association, and a household that opts out of city solid waste service cannot use the bulky collection or the Citywide Curbside Cleanup program.Official guidance
Is there an extra charge for the monthly bulky pickup?+
No separate charge at pickup, because the program is covered by the monthly Bulky Item Management Fee on the residential utility bill, and every garbage customer pays that fee. The annual recycling drop-off event and the on-call hauler pickup are priced separately from it.Official guidance
Who can use the Hennepin County drop-off facility in Bloomington?+
Hennepin County households, with proof of residency such as a driver's license or utility bill. Household hazardous waste is also accepted from several neighboring counties, but businesses, rental property operators and condominium or townhouse associations are generally not eligible, and mattresses are taken at the Brooklyn Park transfer station only.Official guidance
