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.

Bulky items and clean-outs

Special rules apply

Missoula has no municipal bulky item route. The city publishes no collection or disposal route for this item: its own page states that Missoula does not provide trash hauling or disposal services, and that garbage collection in the city is provided by private businesses. The city's own drop-off takes yard and wood material rather than household bulky goods.

City cost & eligibility
There is no city charge to publish for a bulky pickup because there is no city service: the price comes from the private company the household books, so confirm the item and the price with the company that serves the address.
When & how
Book the job with a private collection company that serves the address, and confirm the item and the price before anything is set out.
Get it ready
Keep the load together and ask the company where it wants the items placed, and keep yard and wood material separate so it can go to the city drop-off instead.

Household chemicals are a public health appointment rather than a city collection: Missoula Public Health runs a year-round household hazardous waste option with Monday appointments, and the city publishes no collection of its own.

When & how
Call 406-258-4755 to book a slot, which is available on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and keep the material out of the carts until then.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Missoula runs no curbside collection of its own

The city states that it does not provide trash hauling or disposal services and that garbage collection in the city is provided by private businesses, so there is no municipal cart or bulky pickup to put anything out for. A household books its own company, and yard and wood material goes to the Garden City Compost drop-off.

Hazardous products wait for a Monday appointment

Paint, chemicals, batteries and bulbs do not belong in the garbage, in the recycling Recycling Works collects, or in the wood and yard material at the compost drop-off. They go to Missoula Public Health by appointment, with slots available on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on 406-258-4755.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-haul in Missoula means one destination for green material and a phone call for everything else. The city runs Garden City Compost at 1125 Clark Fork Lane, where brush, sod and soil, yard waste, dimensional lumber, pallets, sawdust, chipped material and clean stumps are taken, payment goes to the Green Waste Inspector's booth, stumps must be clean of dirt and rock, a project larger than ten trees or stumps needs prior approval on 406-552-6619, and the published prices start at the small load rate with tiers for trucks and trailers. Everything else is private: the city states that it does not provide trash hauling or disposal services, so a household books its own collection company for garbage and for bulky items such as mattresses, couches, appliances and electronics, and household chemicals go to Missoula Public Health on 406-258-4755 by appointment. Recycling is separate again, because Recycling Works runs curbside glass, multi-stream and compost collection.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Missoula?

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.
