The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.

Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Dover separates construction and demolition material from household trash. A bundle of building material that is three to four feet long and within the tag weight can leave at the curb on the regular trash day with a bulky item tag, and anything larger goes by weight into the construction and demolition container at the Recycling Center, which the city keeps open year round. The listed material includes sheetrock, insulation, storm windows, shingles, carpeting, vinyl siding and flooring, countertops, plaster, fencing, PVC pipe, pressure treated wood, rugs, tubs, toilets, sinks, wood and masonry debris.
City cost & eligibility
From $5 per load of construction and demolition debris weighed at the Recycling Center, where residents pay ten cents a pound with a five dollar minimum for the load and contractors pay fifteen cents a pound with a twenty five dollar minimum, while a small tagged bundle at the curb is priced by the bulky item tag. Dover residents and contractors; the load has to fit the site vehicle limits, and the city requires each load to be paid for on its own rather than run on a tab.
When & how
Take the load to the Recycling Center on one of its open days and allow time to weigh and unload, because the construction and demolition scale closes fifteen minutes before the gate.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the published vehicle limits, since a dump trailer with a box longer than twelve feet is turned away and a load larger than a one ton dump truck is not taken. Separate anything with its own route, because household trash, hazardous material and bulky items do not belong in the construction container.
Bags, tags and recycling follow the same set out window
Everything for curbside collection goes out by 7 a.m. on your trash day, and nothing goes to the curb earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. A 15 gallon Dover bag holds no more than 20 pounds and a 30 gallon bag no more than 35 pounds, both tied shut, and a tagged bulky item leaves on the same day as the trash. Recycling goes out with it, and the city will not collect bottles, cans or paper that are left curbside in plastic bags.
The bulky item tag is published for non-metal items, so a couch, a mattress, a toilet or a rolled carpet can leave from the curb while a refrigerator, a washer, a television, a microwave and a large load of construction material cannot. Buy the tag before collection day at the City Clerk's Office, the Public Works facility on Mast Road, the Recycling Center or a store that sells Dover bags, and attach it to the item you are setting out.
The Recycling Center takes the restricted items, and it charges for some of them
Household recycling, metal, yard waste, batteries, waste oil, antifreeze, tires, propane tanks and compostable food scraps are taken at the Recycling Center on Mast Road, and the city says recycling in Dover is free. The same site prices the restricted material: construction and demolition debris by weight, refrigerated appliances and rolling copiers per item, televisions and microwaves per item, and computers per device. Bring the permit the City Clerk's Office issues at no charge, and pay by check, credit or debit card because the site does not take cash.
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.

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Dover?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Can construction debris go out with the trash in Dover?+
Only a small bundle can. The city allows building material cut to three or four feet and kept within the tag weight to leave at the curb with a bulky item tag, and the rest goes to the construction and demolition container at the Recycling Center, where the load is weighed and charged by the pound with a minimum per load.Official guidance
