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.

Reviewed · Sources below

Weekly heavy pick up

Accepted with preparation

Larger household items are collected once a week on the first garbage day of the week, and the published list covers appliances, furniture, mattresses, water heaters, computers and reasonably sized televisions.

City cost & eligibility
Heavy pick up is part of the residential collection service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax, and no separate per-item charge is published. Confirm the item and the pickup day with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Put the item out on the first garbage day of the week. Garbage runs twice a week, so the heavy day is the earlier of the household's two collection days.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the published conditions: carpet cut to five feet or less, rolled and under 50 pounds and dry before it goes out; swing sets pulled apart and cut down to five feet or less with a total of 300 pounds or less; doors cut in half. Projection televisions, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron, chemicals and construction material are refused.
Collection days and items, including heavy pick up and refused materialGarbage, green waste and recycling contract, rate and schedule

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is named in the city's heavy pick up list and goes out on the first garbage day of the week.

City cost & eligibility
No per-piece furniture charge is published; the item rides the residential service that is billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. Confirm the piece with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Put the furniture out on the first garbage day of the week, curbside before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece light enough for a two-person crew to handle by hand, because the trucks have no lifters, and keep it clear of the garbage cans and the recycling bin. A cabinet or other piece that counts as construction material is refused.
Collection days and items, including heavy pick up and refused materialGarbage, green waste and recycling contract, rate and schedule

Mattresses

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses are named in the city's heavy pick up list, so a mattress goes out on the first garbage day of the week.

City cost & eligibility
No mattress charge is published; the piece rides the residential service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. Confirm the item and the day with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Place the mattress at the curb on the first garbage day of the week, before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat, and keep it clear of the garbage cans so the crew can reach it. A bed frame or headboard is not named on the list, so ask about it when you confirm the pickup.
Collection days and items, including heavy pick up and refused material

Appliances and water heaters

Accepted with preparation

Appliances ride the weekly heavy pick up, and a water heater is accepted once the water has been removed. A refrigerator or freezer needs its Freon removed and tagged first.

City cost & eligibility
No appliance charge is published for the heavy pick up, which is part of the residential service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. A technician's charge for removing Freon from a cooling appliance is separate and is not published by the city.
When & how
Put the appliance at the curb on the first garbage day of the week, before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove the water from a water heater before it goes out. For a refrigerator or freezer, have a licensed technician remove the Freon and place a tag or sticker on the unit, because the city will only collect a tagged appliance.
Collection days and items, including heavy pick up and refused material

Refrigerators and freezers

Special rules apply

A refrigerator or freezer is collected with heavy garbage only after a licensed technician has removed the Freon and tagged the appliance.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection charge for a cooling appliance, but the technician who removes the Freon may charge for that work, and the city does not publish that amount, so arrange and confirm the tag before the unit goes out.
When & how
Have the appliance tagged first, then set it out on the first garbage day of the week before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it upright outside, and do not put it at the curb until the Freon has been removed and the sticker is on the appliance, because an untagged unit will not be collected.
Collection days and items, including heavy pick up and refused material

Televisions, computers and other electronics

Accepted with preparation

A reasonably sized television and a computer ride the heavy pick up, projection televisions do not, and the city points at the two Texas recycling programmes and a paid per-pound drop-off for everything else.

City cost & eligibility
Televisions within a reasonable size and computers are part of the heavy pick up with no separate charge published, while the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland charges Friendswood residents a fee per pound for electronics-type items such as keyboards, monitors and hard drives. Confirm the fee on 281-489-2795 before loading.
When & how
Put a television or computer out on the first garbage day of the week, or take electronics-type material to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, whose hours the city does not publish.
Get it ready
Keep a projection television off the curb because the city refuses it, wipe personal data from a computer before handover, and treat the drop-off as a paid route rather than a free one because the city states there is a fee per pound there.

Exercise machines and weights

Special rules apply

No Friendswood page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out with the heavy pick up.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine charge and does not name one on the heavy pick up list, so confirm the machine and any conditions with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810 first.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it out on the first garbage day of the week if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable by hand, keep the machine clear of the cans and the bin, and keep it out of the construction material pile because that material is refused.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Heavy pick up rides the first garbage day of the week

Friendswood collects larger items once a week on the first garbage day of the household's two collection days. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters with the water removed, computers and reasonably sized televisions are all on the list, while carpet, swing sets and doors have their own cutting and weight conditions, and construction material, tires, chemicals and projection televisions are refused.

Everything is handled by hand

The collection trucks have no lifters, so every bag, can and heavy item is handled by the crew. Garbage bags and cans have to stay at 50 pounds or less and containers at 32 gallons or less, the recycling bin holds only what fits with extra material in a clear bag, and a heavy item that cannot be managed by hand has to be cut down or taken another route.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Friendswood's own route is the weekly heavy pick up, which runs on the first garbage day of the week and carries furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters without water, computers and reasonably sized televisions, with carpet, swing sets and doors subject to cutting and weight conditions. A refrigerator or freezer only goes out after a licensed technician removes the Freon and tags the unit. Everything the city refuses, including construction material, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron and chemicals, has to be handled privately, and hazardous waste and electronics-type material can be taken to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, where Friendswood residents pay a fee per pound and should call 281-489-2795 for the current schedule.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Friendswood?

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.
