Already detached and outside. Ready for loading and haul-away.
The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
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.

Show the outdoor handoff
Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction debris is collected at the curb on the regular schedule when it is neatly containerized or bundled, manageable by one person, and set out no more than twice a month.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no separate rate for construction debris because it rides the same collection covered by the annual waste collection fee, but the conditions are strict and an excessive load can draw a bill and a fine. Confirm the load with the Department of General Services before you set it out.
When & how
Set the material out on your scheduled collection day, no more than twice a month, after calling the Department of General Services at (518) 427-7480 with any question about the load.
Get it ready
Containerize the material in metal or plastic garbage cans or tie it in bundles, keep it manageable for one person, and keep loading to no more than four trips between the pile and the collection vehicle. Keep hazardous renovation products such as solvents, driveway sealer and chemistry set chemicals out of the load and take them to the household hazardous waste route instead.
Keep electronics and hazardous products out of every pile
Electronics and household hazardous waste are not accepted at the curb, and New York State law bars electronics from the trash and from landfills. Take electronics to the Department of General Services at 1 Richard J. Conners Blvd. with identification, and keep paint, solvents, gasoline, pool chemicals, batteries and mercury items out of the trash, the recycling bin and any bulky pile.
The city normally holds nine free household hazardous waste events a year at the Rapp Road landfill, but it states that no more events will be held in 2026 and that pre-registration is closed for the year. Until events return, PaintCare locations take unused paints, stains, sealers and deck coatings free all year, and most Home Depot and Lowe's stores take rechargeable batteries and intact compact fluorescent bulbs at checkout bins.
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 Albany Department of General Services residential collection
City curbside bulky and white goods collection
Furniture, appliances and other white goods, water heaters, tires, toilets and porcelain fixtures, and limited amounts of construction debris from a residential property of four units or less.
Cost & conditions
No charge. No per item charge, because the annual waste collection fee billed to residential properties of four units or less covers all waste collection pickup. Excessive quantities may draw a bill and a fine.
Arrange it
Call the Department of General Services at (518) 427-7480 at least 24 hours before your collection day, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., then place the load at the curb before 12:01 a.m. on the collection day and not before 4:30 p.m. the prior day.
Limited quantities only, and the pile has to be manageable by one person and loadable within four trips. Electronics and household hazardous waste are not accepted curbside, mattresses need their own scheduled pickup, construction debris is capped at twice a month and must be containerized or bundled, and buildings with more than four units are outside the city programme.
City of Albany Department of General Services residential collection
Rapp Road landfill
The city landfill, where collection trucks and private haulers deliver waste and where the city holds its household hazardous waste and electronics collection events.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no residential self-haul rate for this facility on its website, and its page describes incoming trucks rather than a resident drop-off lane, so the current terms have to come from the facility. Call 518-869-3651 before planning a trip.
Arrange it
The facility is at 525 Rapp Road, Albany, NY 12205 and answers at 518-869-3651. Household hazardous waste and electronics collection events are held here and require pre-registration.
Open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. with the last load in at 10:30 a.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday, so any trip has to happen in a short morning window. The city does not publish a residential self-haul programme or rate for this site.
Households and property managers in buildings with more than four units, or in commercial and mixed occupancy properties, where the city does not collect waste.
Cost & conditions
Properties with more than four residential units and commercial properties are required to arrange and pay for their own private trash collection, and each company sets its own price. Nothing is published by the city.
Arrange it
The property owner or manager contracts a private hauler for the building, and the city's waste collection fee does not apply to those properties.
The city programme, including curbside bulky collection and the mattress pickup, is limited to residential properties of four units or less, so a larger building handles its own collection, including any bulky items.
Most of Albany's bulky material does not need a trip, because furniture, appliances and other white goods are collected at the curb once the Department of General Services is called at least 24 hours ahead, and mattresses are collected on a scheduled pickup after they are wrapped. What cannot go to the curb is electronics, which go to the Department of General Services at 1 Richard J. Conners Blvd. with identification, and household hazardous waste, which the city normally takes at nine free events a year at the Rapp Road landfill but which is closed for the rest of 2026. While the events are closed, PaintCare locations take unused paints, stains, sealers and deck coatings, and most home improvement stores take rechargeable batteries and intact compact fluorescent bulbs at their checkout bins. The Rapp Road landfill itself is open only Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. with the last load in at 10:30 a.m., and the city's published pages list no residential rate and no self-haul lane there, so call 518-869-3651 before planning a trip.

Rapp Road Waste Management Facility
525 Rapp Road, Albany, NY 12205
Municipal solid waste delivered by the city's collection trucks and by municipal and private hauler trucks, and it is the site of the city's household hazardous waste and electronics collection events.
The city's published pages list no residential self-haul lane here, no accepted-material list for households and no residential rate, so call 518-869-3651 before planning to bring anything yourself. Household hazardous waste and electronics arrive only through the pre-registered collection events, not as a general drop-off.
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., with the last load in at 10:30 a.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday. Phone 518-869-3651, email coalandfill@albanyny.gov, odor complaint line 518-453-8288.
No residential rate is published on the city's website for this facility, so the current terms have to come from the operator. The city page describes an average of about 1,050 tons a day arriving by truck rather than a resident drop-off lane.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Albany.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Albany?+
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. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Albany?+
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.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
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.
Will Albany take construction debris at the curb?+
Yes, within limits. Construction debris is collected when it is neatly containerized in cans or tied in bundles, manageable by one person, loading takes no more than four trips, and it is placed out no more than twice a month on your scheduled collection day. Larger projects and commercial work need another arrangement.Official guidance
What does curbside collection cost in Albany?+
Albany charges an annual waste collection fee of 180 dollars per unit on residential homes of four units or less, and since 2026 that appears as a separate fee on the property tax bill. The fee covers waste collection pickup, so there is no separate charge for a bulky item, and properties with more than four units pay for private collection instead.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Albany and which properties are covered?+
The Department of General Services collects household trash and recycling from residential properties of four units or less, with trash out before 12:01 a.m. on the collection day and not before 4:30 p.m. the day before. Buildings with more than four units and commercial properties arrange and pay for their own private collection. Every holiday runs a normal schedule here.Official guidance
Where do electronics go if they cannot go at the curb?+
New York State law bars electronics from the trash and from landfills, and the city asks residents not to put a television or other electronics out for collection. Take them to the Department of General Services at 1 Richard J. Conners Blvd. during business hours, show identification and register at the front desk, or pre-register for a city electronics collection event at the Rapp Road landfill.Official guidance
Are household hazardous waste events running in Albany right now?+
Not for the rest of 2026. The city normally holds nine free collection events a year at the Rapp Road landfill, but it states that no further events will be held in 2026 and that pre-registration has closed for the year. Until they return, PaintCare locations take unused paints and stains free all year, and most home improvement stores take rechargeable batteries and intact compact fluorescent bulbs at checkout bins.Official guidance
