Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

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.

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

Construction material never rides the trash truck. The city says plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures go to the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, and it offers two alternatives for a house clean-out or a large amount of material: rent a roll-off container from Public Works or hire a professional hauler from its published list.

City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published here for the transfer station, the roll-off or the haulers. The roll-off pricing sheet is an image with no readable rates, and the hauler list carries phone numbers only, so call Public Works on 717-412-4320 or one of the listed haulers to price the load before the work starts.
When & how
Construction material has no collection day. It goes to the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, into a rented roll-off, or with a private hauler, so the arrangement decides the timing rather than the city zone schedule.
Get it ready
Keep plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures out of the trash bin and out of the weekly bulk pile, because the city routes all of it separately. Sort any metal or reusable material out before the load goes, and confirm which of the three routes is taking it.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Containers and bulk go out the evening before the zone day

Every address in Harrisburg is served once a week on its own weekday zone, and the containers go to the appointed collection location the evening before that day. The city provides the standard trash and recycling containers, extra recycling bins are free, and questions about a container, its placement or an account go to the sanitation office on 717-412-4320.

Appliances, electronics and construction each leave the curb

Three categories are outside the ordinary collection: large appliances, which the city excludes from bulk and prices as a removal, electronics such as toasters, microwave ovens, televisions and computers, which go free to the Dauphin County Recycling Center on South Cameron Street, and construction material such as plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures, which goes to the transfer station on 19th Street, a Public Works roll-off or a listed hauler.

Move construction material on its own route

A household or contractor with plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks, plumbing fixtures or a house clean-out load.

Cost & conditions
No rate is published on the city pages for the transfer station on 19th Street, the roll-off container rental or the listed haulers, and the roll-off pricing sheet is an image with no readable figures. Call Public Works on 717-412-4320 to price the roll-off and the drop off, or call one of the seven haulers the city lists for a quote.
Arrange it
Choose between the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, a roll-off container rented from Public Works, or a professional hauler. Public Works is at 1820 Paxton Street and answers on 717-412-4320 or PublicWorks@harrisburgpa.gov.

Construction and demolition material never goes in the trash bin or the weekly bulk pile, and the city publishes phone numbers rather than rates for the haulers it lists, so nothing about this route is fixed until the load is priced.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Harrisburg is about the three things the curb will not take. Household bulk stays with the city: one item a week, put at the appointed collection location the evening before the assigned zone day, with a couch, a mattress, a bedspring or a roll of carpeting as the published examples and a fine for extras, while a large appliance is excluded from that allowance and carries a removal fee arranged through Public Works on 717-412-4320. Electronics go to the Dauphin County Recycling Center at 1625 South Cameron St in Harrisburg, free of charge for county residents, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on (717) 982-6772, and the city names small electric appliances such as toasters and microwave ovens along with televisions and computers. Construction material goes to the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, or into a roll-off container rented from Public Works at 1820 Paxton Street, or with one of the seven local haulers the city lists with phone numbers, and none of it belongs in the trash bin or the weekly bulk pile. Separated glass bottles and jars go to one of the ten city drop off sites, and the city's recycler does not want office paper, junk mail or shredded paper, which stay in the trash unless a separate collection is arranged.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Harrisburg.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Harrisburg?

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 Harrisburg?

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.

Where does construction debris go in Harrisburg?

To the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, with a roll-off container rented from Public Works or a professional hauler as the city's two alternatives for a clean-out or a large amount of material. Plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures do not go in the trash, and no city rate is published, so price the load first.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Harrisburg?

The City of Harrisburg Sanitation Office, part of the Department of Public Works, which collects and disposes of residential solid waste for more than 20,000 households and businesses with its own crews. Every address is serviced once a week on one of five weekday zones, the city provides the containers, and the sanitation office answers on 717-412-4320 from the Public Works building at 1820 Paxton Street.Official guidance

How do I find my collection day in Harrisburg?

Your address sits in one of five zones, one for each weekday, and the city publishes a yearly trash and recycling schedule plus a Recycle Coach lookup where you can enter the address to see the collection schedule. Collection dates are updated through the year for city holidays and furlough days, and a citywide holiday delays collection by a day for the rest of that week.Official guidance
