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.

Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances

Special rules apply

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with residential service on the bulk day inside the twelve-item and two cubic yard allowance, with the Freon removal statement required for a cooling appliance and a paid special collection only if the load exceeds the allowance.

Televisions, computers and other electronics

Special rules apply

No Tomball page names an electronics route. The city does not provide hazardous waste collection and points residents to Harris County Household Hazardous Waste, so any device has to be confirmed there first.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics drop-off, fee or accepted list, and it makes no claim that the county programme takes televisions or computers. Call the city on 281-290-1450 or check Harris County Household Hazardous Waste and confirm the accepted devices, the location and any charge before travelling.
When & how
Confirm the route with the city or Harris County first, and keep electronics out of the garbage cart, the recycling cart and the bulk pile until then.
Get it ready
Erase personal data where the device still powers on, keep batteries out of the carts, and never put a screen or computer into the bulk pile because the accepted bulk list does not include electronics.

Treadmills and exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on the accepted bulk list, so the machine has to be confirmed with the city and Frontier before it counts toward the twelve-item allowance.

City cost & eligibility
No item rule and no separate price cover exercise equipment. Call the city on 281-290-1450 or Frontier on 936-258-9035, confirm that the machine is collected on the bulk day inside the twelve-item and two cubic yard allowance, and ask about the special collection fee if it is not.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then use the second collection day of the week if it is accepted as bulk.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you call, take it down as far as it will come apart, remove the console and any battery pack, and keep the pieces inside the two cubic yard allowance.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out before 7 a.m., not before 5 p.m.

Tomball's ordinance prohibits putting solid waste or recycling out before 5 p.m. the day before the service day, and everything has to be at the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day. Garbage in a cart must be bagged and tied with the lid closed, carts face with the handles toward the house, bags sit at the curb, carts stay four feet from the mailbox, and no extra bags may be left beside the cart because the lid has to close.

One bulk day a week, twelve items, two cubic yards

Bulk and brush go out once a week on the second collection day, the last service day of the week, and the limit is twelve items and two cubic yards. Old furniture and folded boxes, tree trimmings, bagged yard waste bundled to forty pounds, one mattress and appliances with the Freon statement attached are all accepted, while construction and contract material, regular household trash, tires, engine parts and anything containing Freon are refused. Grass clippings also go out on the bulk day, and Christmas trees are collected on the same day until mid-January.

City of Tomball with Frontier Waste Solutions

Book a Frontier special collection for an oversized load

A Tomball household with bulk or brush beyond two cubic yards, or an item the bulk day will not take.

Cost & conditions
From $16.54 for disposal fee for a special collection of unusual bulk accumulations, plus $242.55 per hour for the vehicle and crew. Residential customers arranging the collection through Frontier Waste Solutions on 936-258-9035.
Arrange it
Call Frontier Waste Solutions on 936-258-9035 to arrange the special collection and confirm the disposal fee plus the hourly vehicle and crew rate.

The special collection is priced by disposal plus crew time, and construction, remodel and contract material still needs its own arrangement rather than a household special collection.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Tomball is a curbside city with one contractor. Frontier Waste Solutions collects garbage twice a week in two sections, recycling once a week in four sections, and bulk and brush once a week on the second collection day with a twelve-item, two cubic yard limit. One mattress is allowed per bulk day, appliances need a licensed technician's Freon removal statement attached to the front of the unit, and construction, remodel, DIY and contract material, tires, engine parts and household trash are refused on that route. Anything past two cubic yards is a paid Frontier special collection at the published disposal fee plus an hourly vehicle and crew rate, and construction or demolition material needs a special collection or a roll-off container at the published delivery, daily rent, hauling and per-ton rates. Household hazardous waste is outside the city service altogether and is referred to Harris County Household Hazardous Waste, and no Tomball page publishes an electronics drop-off, so both need a call to the city at 281-290-1450 before anything is loaded.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Tomball?

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.

When is the Tomball bulk and brush day?

Bulk and brush are collected once a week on the second collection day, which the city describes as the last service day of the week. The limit is twelve items and no more than two cubic yards per bulk day, and anything larger needs a paid Frontier special collection.Official guidance

Will Tomball take a couch on the bulk day?

Yes. Old furniture is on the accepted bulk list, along with folded boxes, so a couch goes out on the second collection day within the twelve-item and two cubic yard limit. Anything beyond that limit needs a paid Frontier special collection.Official guidance

How many mattresses will Tomball take?

One mattress per bulk pickup day. The city's FAQ answers the mattress question directly, and mattresses are also listed among the bulk examples, so the set goes on the second collection day within the twelve-item and two cubic yard limit.Official guidance

What does a Tomball appliance need before pickup?

A unit containing Freon is not accepted unless the Freon has been removed by a licensed technician, plumber or AC technician, with a statement from them attached to the front of the appliance, which the city says is required by federal law. The appliance then goes out on the bulk day, the last service day of the week.Official guidance

Where do Tomball televisions and computers go?

The city's residential pages do not name an electronics route, and the city does not provide hazardous waste collection, directing residents to Harris County Household Hazardous Waste instead. Call the city on 281-290-1450 or check the county programme and confirm that the device is accepted before the trip.Official guidance

Will Tomball take a treadmill on the bulk day?

Exercise equipment is not named on the accepted bulk list, so confirm it. Call the city on 281-290-1450 or Frontier on 936-258-9035, and remember that the bulk day allows twelve items and two cubic yards, with a paid special collection for anything beyond that.Official guidance

Where does Tomball construction debris go?

Construction, remodel, DIY and contract material is refused on the bulk route, and demolition or debris material such as glass, brick, concrete, roofing, insulation, lumber, rocks, soil and land-clearing vegetation needs a Frontier special collection or a roll-off container. Call Frontier on 936-258-9035, with 20, 30 and 40 yard containers at the published delivery, daily rent, hauling and per-ton disposal rates.Official guidance
