City collection The city defines bulky rubbish as material too large or too heavy for a collection truck to load, and it does not run a curbside bulky item collection.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Springfield runs a city waste system but not a city collection crew. The Environmental Services department operates the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, three recycling drop-off centers, a Yardwaste Recycling Center and a Household Chemical Collection Center, while curbside collection is provided by private, independent haulers that have to hold a city licence under Chapter 94. That split decides how a large item leaves a home. The code defines bulky rubbish as material too large or too heavy for a collection truck to load, requires containers for everything except bulky rubbish, yard waste and demolition debris, and leaves residents to arrange the haul themselves. The city's own public engagement page records that residents have asked for better bulky item collection and names curbside bulky item pickup among the most requested services that do not exist yet. The practical routes are a licensed hauler, the landfill's small load drop-off at the posted vehicle minimum plus tonnage, or a local recycler that takes furniture, appliances and electronics. Mattresses are the exception with a published city programme, and yard waste, household chemicals and construction debris each have their own city facility.

Who collects curbside trash and recycling

Special rules apply

Springfield does not collect from the curb. The city runs the landfill and the drop-off facilities, and private, independent hauling companies collect household trash and recycling under an annual city licence.

City cost & eligibility
The city sets no household collection rate because the haulers are private and independent. Chapter 94 requires the licence and the city funds its own system mainly through tipping fees at the landfill, so the monthly charge comes from the company a household hires and has to be confirmed with that company.
When & how
Choose a licensed company and ask it for the collection day and the barrel size, because the city publishes no single collection day. The city facilities that do have published hours are the recycling centers, open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Yardwaste Recycling Center in Brookline on the same days.
Get it ready
Use a licensed hauler, because section 94-7 makes it unlawful to haul or collect solid waste in the city without an annual licence, and section 94-74 requires every load to be disposed of at an approved site. Keep bulky rubbish, yard waste and demolition and construction waste out of the container, because the code's container rule names those three streams as exceptions to what belongs in a bin.
Springfield solid waste management and recycling page describing the integrated system, the private independent curbside haulers, the funding through tipping fees and the department contact numbersSpringfield City Code Chapter 94 Solid Waste with the annual hauler licence requirement, the duties of haulers, the director's power to restrict or reject waste, the container rule that excludes bulky rubbish and the definition of bulky rubbish

Bulky items and the landfill drop-off

Special rules apply

The city defines bulky rubbish as material too large or too heavy for a collection truck to load, and it does not run a curbside bulky item collection. Residents asked for one in the city's own survey, so the routes today are a licensed hauler, the landfill small load drop-off or a local junk collection service.

City cost & eligibility
From $20 for minimum charge per vehicle at the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill small load drop-off, with a per ton charge on top. Any vehicle delivering municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste or approved special waste. The landfill page listed the tonnage rate at 38.50 dollars per ton with a 20 dollar minimum, and the citizen's guide lists the same 20 dollar vehicle minimum.
When & how
Ask the hauler on the account about a haul, or load the item and drive to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard. The landfill is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the city's 2026 mattress page, while the landfill's own 2025 page closed at 4 p.m. on weekdays, so confirm the closing time before a long drive.
Get it ready
Cover and secure the load, because the landfill requires it and unsecured material can be denied. Keep banned material out of the truck: hazardous wastes, lead acid batteries, whole tires, waste oil, liquids that are not in a container, asbestos and major appliances are all refused at the landfill, and yard waste is banned from Missouri landfills.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Special rules apply

Furniture is not accepted at the city recycling centers, which take only recyclables and limited yard waste, so a couch leaves through a licensed hauler, a junk collection service or a load to the landfill.

City cost & eligibility
From $20 for minimum charge per vehicle at the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, with a per ton charge on top. Household loads delivered to the landfill, which accepts municipal solid waste and construction and demolition waste. A hauler or a junk collection service quotes its own price.
When & how
Call the hauler on the account or a junk collection service such as Complete Electronics Recycling, which advertises furniture removal, and confirm the price. The landfill alternative is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the city's 2026 mattress page.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers and remove loose parts before the load is built, and keep the furniture out of the recycling bins, because the city recycling centers accept only aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, plastic and tin with limited yard waste. Cover the load if it is going to the landfill.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Springfield runs a mattress recycling programme with a flat per piece rate at three city locations, and the mattresses are broken down through a contract with Victory Mission instead of being buried.

City cost & eligibility
$20 per mattress or box spring recycled at a city site, regardless of size. Households dropping a clean, dry unit at Lone Pine Avenue Recycling Center, Franklin Avenue Recycling Center or the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill. Mattresses and box springs are each charged at the same per piece rate.
When & how
Take the unit to Lone Pine at 3020 S. Lone Pine Avenue or Franklin Avenue at 731 N. Franklin, both open Tuesday to Saturday, or to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard, open Monday to Friday and Saturday Mornings. Recycle only on a drop-off visit, because no curbside mattress route exists.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress clean, dry and free of infestation before the trip, because the city refuses wet materials, insect-infested materials and heavily soiled items. Take the box spring separately if both are going, since each piece is charged.

Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances

Accepted with preparation

Major appliances are banned from the city landfill, so the published route is a commercial recycler that takes kitchen and laundry appliances free and charges a higher rate for a unit that contains refrigerant.

City cost & eligibility
From $20 per appliance containing freon at Complete Electronics Recycling, where appliances without refrigerant are accepted free. Households at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy. Refrigerators, freezers, deep freezes, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are charged at the freon rate, while microwaves, stoves and ovens, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, furnaces and other kitchen appliances are accepted free.
When & how
Take the unit to Complete Electronics Recycling at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy, open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sunday, or ask the company for a pickup, for which it says a fee may apply. Do not plan a landfill trip for an appliance, because major appliances are on the landfill's banned list.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove the doors so a child cannot be trapped, and keep any loose refrigerant line intact for the receiving site to handle. Say when you call whether the appliance contains freon, because that decides the tier.

Televisions, computers and small electronics

Accepted with preparation

Springfield runs no municipal electronics drop-off, so the published local route is a commercial recycler that accepts computers, phones, printers, cables and other devices free and charges per screen for televisions and monitors.

City cost & eligibility
From $20 per television or monitor at Complete Electronics Recycling, where other electronics are accepted free. Households at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy. All televisions, CRT monitors and LCD, LED or plasma televisions carry the screen rate, while computers, laptops, LCD and LED monitors in the computing category, printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, servers, phones, tablets, gaming systems, cables, fluorescent bulbs and batteries follow their own lines.
When & how
Take the device to Complete Electronics Recycling at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy on a Monday to Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or request a pickup and confirm the collection charge. The city's own guidance for an item the facilities do not take is to search the Waste Wizard.
Get it ready
Wipe or remove the storage from a computer, laptop, tablet or phone before it leaves the house, and keep batteries and bulbs out of the recycling bins at the city centers, which accept only aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, plastic, tin and limited yard waste. A television is never an approved item at a city recycling center.

Treadmills and exercise equipment

Accepted with preparation

Exercise equipment is named in the free accepted list at the Springfield electronics recycler, which also breaks down bicycles, lawnmowers and other small machines.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households dropping the machine at Complete Electronics Recycling, 2935 W. Chestnut Expy, Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Exercise equipment sits in the free accepted categories rather than the television, fluorescent, alkaline battery or freon tiers.
When & how
Take the machine to the recycler during its published hours, or request a pickup and confirm the collection charge, which the contact page says may apply.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove or tape any battery pack, and keep loose weights together so the receiving site can handle the pieces. Exercise equipment is not a city recycling center item, so it never goes in the bins.

Remodeling and construction debris

Accepted with preparation

Construction and demolition waste is an accepted class at the city landfill rather than a curbside or recycling center material, and demolition permit holders have to name their disposal site on the permit.

City cost & eligibility
From $20 for minimum charge per vehicle for construction and demolition waste at the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, with a per ton charge on top. Any vehicle delivering construction and demolition waste to the landfill. The landfill page listed the tonnage rate at 38.50 dollars per ton with the 20 dollar minimum, and the guide repeats the 20 dollar minimum per vehicle.
When & how
Load the debris and drive to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard, or ask a licensed hauler with roll-off equipment to place a container. Check the closing time before the trip, because the landfill page and the newer mattress page disagree.
Get it ready
Cover and secure the load, name the disposal site on a demolition permit if one is required, and keep demolition and construction waste out of the household container, because the code's container rule treats it as a separate stream. Yard waste, tires, appliances and hazardous material are all refused at the landfill.

Paint, chemicals and batteries

Not on the regular city route

Household chemicals never belong in the container or at the recycling centers, and Springfield collects them by appointment at a regional Household Chemical Collection Center that serves five counties.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the center's hours and its accepted list but no fee, so the charge has to be confirmed when the appointment is booked on 417-864-2000 rather than assumed to be free.
When & how
Book an appointment on 417-864-2000 and take the material to 1226 W. Nichols Street during the published slots: Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the first two Saturdays in April from 9 a.m. to noon and the last two Saturdays in October from 9 a.m. to noon.
Get it ready
Bring only household hazardous, toxic and flammable material such as oil based paints and stains, paint strippers and solvents, pesticides, cleaners, aerosols, automotive products and arts and crafts supplies, because the center is not a general drop-off. The landfill refuses hazardous waste, waste oil, lead acid batteries and whole tires, so none of that belongs in a landfill load.

Yard waste and brush

Accepted with preparation

Yard waste is banned from Missouri landfills and goes to the city's Yardwaste Recycling Center in Brookline, which is also the only city site that takes residential brush in pickup loads or larger.

City cost & eligibility
From $11 for car, SUV, pickup or a trailer under 8 feet for a brush load, with larger trailers, a dump truck and large volumes published higher on the centre's fee table. The household recycling drop-off area is free with suggested honor system fees and donations encouraged, and yard waste is accepted at no charge, while the published brush fee table applies to brush loads after the storm debris waiver ended and should be confirmed because the retained page is dated October 2025.
When & how
Take leaves, grass, garden vegetation, brush and limbs to the Yardwaste Recycling Center at 3790 S. Farm Road 119 in Brookline, open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with all customers unloaded before closing.
Get it ready
Keep the load free of rocks, lumber, limbs of the wrong size and trash, and take material out of bags, boxes and lawn bags before it is tipped. Limbs must be cut to a maximum of ten feet and are accepted loose up to ten inches in diameter, while limbs over ten inches and root balls have to go to the Springfield Sanitary Landfill.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Only a licensed hauler may collect, and only an approved site may receive

Chapter 94 requires a city licence, issued annually, before anyone may haul or collect solid waste to or from residential, commercial or industrial establishments or any disposal or processing facility in Springfield, and it sets vehicle, cover and operating standards for licensees. The same chapter requires every load of waste collected, transported or generated in the city to be disposed of at an approved site, makes using a vehicle at an unapproved site a violation and requires anyone taking out a demolition permit to list the approved disposal site on the application.

Springfield City Code Chapter 94 Solid Waste with the annual hauler licence requirement, the duties of haulers, the director's power to restrict or reject waste, the container rule that excludes bulky rubbish and the definition of bulky rubbish

Landfill loads are covered, weighed and checked against a banned list

Every vehicle entering the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill pays a tipping fee, listed in January 2025 at 38.50 dollars per ton with a 20 dollar minimum, and the citizen's guide repeats the 20 dollar minimum for both the small load drop-off and the working face. Loads must be covered and secured, scavenging is prohibited, and staff will deny service to a load that breaks the rules. Explosives, hazardous wastes, flammable substances, infectious wastes, lead acid batteries, liquids not in a container, major appliances, PCBs, radioactive material, asbestos, septic tank pumpings, vehicle bodies and frames, whole tires, waste oil and yard waste are all banned.

Recycling at the city centers is free and run on an honour system

The city recycling centers accept aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, plastic and tin free of charge, and Lone Pine adds limited yard waste of ten bags of leaves and two bundles of brush or sticks. Recycling is free but suggested honor system fees and donations are encouraged, and only cash and cheques are accepted at Franklin Avenue, Lone Pine and the Household Chemical Collection Center, while the landfill and the Yardwaste Recycling Center also take credit and debit cards.

City of Springfield Environmental Services with licensed private haulers

Hire a licensed hauling company

A Springfield household that wants ordinary weekly trash and recycling service and a company to call about a large item.

Cost & conditions
The city sets no household rate because collection is private, so ask each company for its monthly charge and its bulky item policy rather than assuming the city controls the price.
Arrange it
Choose a company that holds the annual city licence required by Chapter 94 and confirm the collection day, the barrel size and what it will take beyond the barrel. The city publishes no approved hauler list here, so ask the company for its licence number or call the Environmental Services office on 417-864-1904.

Because collection is an open market, two neighbours can pay different rates for the same service, and not every company accepts bulky items, so the bulky item question has to be asked before the item is set out.

City of Springfield Environmental Services with licensed private haulers

Take a household load to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill

A Springfield household with a truck or trailer load of bagged waste, furniture, construction debris or other non-hazardous material that it can unload itself.

Cost & conditions
From $20 for minimum charge per vehicle at the landfill, with a per ton charge on top. Household vehicles delivering municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste or approved special waste. The page listed the tonnage rate at 38.50 dollars per ton with the 20 dollar minimum, and cash, cheque and major cards are accepted.
Arrange it
Drive to 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard, nine miles north of the Highway 13 and Interstate 44 interchange, arriving early enough to be unloaded before closing. The small load area takes hand unload vehicle and trailer combinations and directs everything else to the working face.

Major appliances, whole tires, yard waste, hazardous waste, lead acid batteries, waste oil, asbestos and liquids outside a container are all banned, and loads must be covered and secured or service can be denied.

With a new purchase

Use the local electronics and appliance recycler

A Springfield household with a television, computer, printer, phone, battery, bulb, appliance, exercise machine, lawnmower or bicycle that should be recycled rather than buried.

Cost & conditions
From $20 per television or monitor, and per appliance containing freon, at Complete Electronics Recycling. Households at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy. Televisions and monitors are charged per item, appliances containing freon such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are charged the same per item rate, fluorescents are charged per bulb and alkaline batteries per pound, while computers, printers, phones, tablets, cables, kitchen and laundry appliances, exercise equipment, lawnmowers and bicycles are accepted free.
Arrange it
Drop the material at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, or request a pickup on the company's contact form and confirm the collection charge it warns may apply.

The recycler refuses garbage, food packaging, glass bottles, compostables, yard waste and all household chemicals, paints, solvents and aerosols, so those streams still go to the city facilities.

City of Springfield Environmental Services with licensed private haulers

Book an appointment at the Household Chemical Collection Center

A household with oil based paint, stains, solvents, pesticides, cleaners, aerosols, automotive products or arts and crafts chemicals.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes the accepted list, the hours and the appointment line but no fee for household drop-off, so confirm the charge when the appointment is booked.
Arrange it
Call 417-864-2000 to book a slot at 1226 W. Nichols Street, on Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the first two Saturdays in April or the last two Saturdays in October, and bring proof that the household is in Greene, Christian, Polk, Dallas or Webster county if asked.

The center is appointment only and does not take ordinary garbage, yard waste, electronics or appliances, and the landfill refuses hazardous waste, waste oil and lead acid batteries, so a hazardous item has no other city route.

Recycling is free at the city centers, which accept aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, plastic and tin and are open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Lone Pine adds ten bags of leaves and two bundles of brush. Yard waste goes to the Yardwaste Recycling Center at 3790 S. Farm Road 119 in Brookline, because yard waste is banned from Missouri landfills, and that site is the only city location that takes residential brush in pickup loads or larger. Mattresses and box springs are recycled for a flat per piece rate at Lone Pine, Franklin Avenue or the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill. Household chemicals go by appointment to the Household Chemical Collection Center on West Nichols Street. Household waste, furniture and construction debris can be taken to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill at 3545 W. Farm Road 34 in Willard, where every vehicle pays a minimum plus a per ton charge and the load has to be covered and secured. Appliances cannot go to the landfill at all, and neither can whole tires, waste oil, lead acid batteries, hazardous waste or yard waste, so an appliance, a television or a computer goes to Complete Electronics Recycling on West Chestnut Expressway, which takes most devices and machines free and charges per item for televisions, monitors and any appliance containing freon. Anything unusual should be checked on the city's Waste Wizard or by calling the recycling hotline on 417-864-1904 before it is loaded.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

Does the City of Springfield pick up household trash?

No. The city operates the landfill, the recycling centers, the Yardwaste Recycling Center and the Household Chemical Collection Center, while curbside collection is provided by private, independent hauling companies. Chapter 94 requires an annual city licence before anyone may haul or collect solid waste here, and it requires each load to be taken to an approved disposal site.Official guidance

How do bulky items leave a Springfield home?

Through a licensed hauler, a junk collection service, or a load taken to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill small load drop-off, which charges a minimum per vehicle plus a per ton rate. The city does not run a curbside bulky item collection, and its own public engagement page records that residents asked for one, so nothing about the curbside route is automatic.Official guidance

Where can a Springfield mattress be recycled?

At Lone Pine Avenue Recycling Center, Franklin Avenue Recycling Center or the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, for a flat rate per piece regardless of size, currently 20 dollars for a mattress and 20 dollars for a box spring. The unit has to be clean, dry and free of infestation, and the programme runs through a city contract with Victory Mission.Official guidance

Where does a Springfield household take an old appliance?

To a commercial recycler such as Complete Electronics Recycling at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy, which accepts washing machines, dryers, stoves and ovens, dishwashers, water heaters, furnaces and microwaves free and charges a fee for a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier that contains freon. The city landfill cannot take a major appliance at all, because its guide bans appliances from the working face and sends readers to the Waste Wizard instead.Official guidance

Where can a Springfield household take a television or computer?

To Complete Electronics Recycling at 2935 W. Chestnut Expy, which charges a per item rate for televisions and monitors, including CRT sets, and accepts computers, laptops, printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, phones, tablets, gaming systems and cables free. The city recycling centers do not take electronics, their bins are limited to aluminum, cardboard, glass, paper, plastic, tin and limited yard waste, and the landfill's guide sends appliance and specialty questions to the city Waste Wizard.Official guidance

Who do I call about a Springfield waste question?

The recycling hotline is 417-864-1904, and the Environmental Resource Center is at 290 East Central Street, Springfield, MO 65802 on 417.864.2006. Household chemical appointments go to 417-864-2000, the landfill answers on 417-742-3536, and general city service requests go through 417-864-1010.Official guidance

How do I check one odd item before the trip?

Use the city's Waste Wizard, the searchable tool the city points residents to for repurposing, recycling and donation options in Springfield. The landfill's own guide sends appliance and specialty questions there, and the recycling brochure describes it as the place to find participating businesses for items the city centers do not take.Official guidance

Is there a city bulky item collection in Springfield?

No. The city's public engagement page records that residents have asked for better bulky item collection, and its survey takeaway names curbside bulky item pickup among the most requested additional services. The code treats bulky rubbish as a separate stream from the container service, so a household arranges the haul through a licensed company, a junk collection service or a load to the landfill.Official guidance

Is the Springfield trash system changing?

The city is reviewing it. A waste characterization study found that about 42 per cent of the material sent to the Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill could have been recycled or composted through existing programs, and the city is running a solid waste rate study alongside a review of Chapter 94 of the City Code, which sets the trash and recycling rules, with the aim of making service hours, minimum service levels and permitting clearer and more consistent.Official guidance
