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.

Appliances, refrigerators and water heaters

Accepted with preparation

Appliances and water heaters are accepted, but an appliance that holds refrigerant needs the refrigerant removed and tagged before it can join the bulk pile.

City cost & eligibility
$20 for for removing and properly disposing of the Freon from a residential appliance at the landfill, as the City publishes it, with the customer removing all food first. The alternative route is to have a licensed appliance service professional remove and tag the refrigerant, after which the appliance goes out with the free bulk waste collection for Sandy residents.
When & how
Either take the unit to the landfill for the published Freon service, or have it removed and tagged professionally and set it out no sooner than seventy-two hours before the bulk collection date.
Get it ready
