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.

Weekly refuse and recycling come from the private hauler the household chooses, yard waste runs April through November, and anything larger is a special item pickup or a drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection rate because the service comes from private haulers, so ask your hauler what weekly service and a special item pickup cost.
When & how
Use the weekly collection day from your hauler, put yard waste out between April and November as the haulers offer, and book a special item pickup for anything larger.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables to the curbside list the guide prints, which is aluminum, steel and tin cans, cardboard, magazines, newspaper, office paper and phone books and plastics numbered 1 through 7, and keep yard waste separate from regular trash because it is not collected with it.
The city Public Works Department maintains the landfill and the transfer station, while private companies provide the curb-side pickup of refuse and recyclables, and the city names Mid-Nebraska Disposal and Heartland Disposal. Multi-material recycling drop-off sites are available at multiple locations, and the community guide lists the curbside recyclables both haulers take.
The city transfer station is at 5050 Old Potash Hwy
The City of Grand Island Transfer Station is at 5050 Old Potash Hwy and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. The city yard waste site on Monitor Road borders it to the east and sells compost and wood chips, and the community guide warns that disposal fees may apply and that nothing may be dropped off after hours. No published page in this packet states what the station accepts, so confirm the material and the charge on (308) 385-5433 before the trip.
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 Grand Island Public Works with licensed private haulers
Arrange curbside service and a special item pickup with a private hauler
A Grand Island household that needs weekly trash and recycling and a large item taken from the curb.
Cost & conditions
The city sets no rate because collection comes from private haulers, and Heartland Disposal asks residents to call for a free quote, so confirm the weekly and special item charges with your hauler.
Arrange it
Choose one of the haulers the city names, Mid-Nebraska Disposal or Heartland Disposal, and request the special item pickup. Heartland Disposal answers at (308) 382-1683 from 1839 East 4th Street and offers weekly trash, curbside recycling and yard waste from April to November.
Weekly service, cart sizes, recycling terms and special item charges follow the company you hire, and the city is not the collection provider, so confirm the details before booking.
The community guide lists the site for residents, with the city yard waste site bordering it to the east and disposal fees possibly applying. No retained body publishes what the station accepts, so confirm the material and the rate on (308) 385-5433 before loading.
The city transfer station page could not be read from this environment, so the accepted items and rates have to be confirmed by phone. The guide warns that nothing may be dropped off after hours because it can be charged as illegal dumping, and that disposal fees may apply.
Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. Phone (308) 385-5433.

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?+

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.

Heartland serves Grand Island with weekly trash, curbside recycling and yard waste collection from April to November, and both haulers are listed in the community recycling guide with their phone numbers.Official guidance
