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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Chesapeake?

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.

How do I get a couch picked up in Chesapeake?

Request a bulk household collection from the City of Chesapeake at an address the Waste Management Division serves. Couches, chairs, tables, desks and dressers qualify, the request has to be in by 5 p.m. the workday before collection, and the items go out as close to the road as possible and 3 feet clear of obstructions. Tape any glass surface, and keep the furniture pile separate from yard debris.Official guidance

Will Chesapeake take an old mattress at the curb?

Yes, at a residence the City Waste Management Division serves. A mattress and box spring count as bulk household items, so request the collection before the set-out date, keep the pile within the weekly size limit, and keep it separate from yard debris. SPSA transfer stations also accept mattresses from service area residents with proof of residency.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in Chesapeake?

Request a bulk household collection if the address is served by the City Waste Management Division, and remove the doors and tape any glass before the item goes out. If you haul it yourself, SPSA transfer stations take small appliances that carry a refrigerant-free certification sticker, and an appliance without that sticker goes to the Regional Landfill in Suffolk.Official guidance

Can I recycle a television in Chesapeake?

A television cannot go in the city trash cart or a recycling container. SPSA takes monitors and televisions at the household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off at the Chesapeake Transfer Station on the first Wednesday and third Saturday of the month, 9 a.m. to noon, with a limit of 5 items per day. Confirm the screen type before hauling it, because Chesapeake Recycles Day events refuse tube televisions.Official guidance

Where do electronics go in Chesapeake?

Take them to an SPSA household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off or a Chesapeake Recycles Day event. The Chesapeake Transfer Station collects e-waste on the first Wednesday and third Saturday of the month, 9 a.m. to noon, at no charge to service area residents with proof of residency. Wipe personal data first, respect the limit of 5 items per day, and keep electronics out of the trash cart and the recycling containers.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a treadmill in Chesapeake?

Request a bulk household collection if the address is served by the City Waste Management Division and the machine can be set out whole at the curb. If you haul it yourself, describe the equipment at the SPSA scale, because a machine with a heavy metal frame may be routed as scrap metal rather than as ordinary household waste.Official guidance

What does it cost to get rid of a large item in Chesapeake?

The City of Chesapeake publishes no per-item charge for a household bulk collection from a residence it serves, and each household is limited to 12 bulk collections a year. The SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station also takes household waste from residents at no charge for the first 12 visits each calendar year, and later visits are billed by weight at the station's published disposal rate.Official guidance

Why does a Chesapeake pickup depend on which program serves the address?

Chesapeake is an independent city, and the City Waste Management Division collects from the residences it serves rather than from a surrounding county. A residence outside that service area, or a building whose waste is handled privately, has to use the SPSA transfer stations instead, and those sites serve member-community residents with proof of residency.Official guidance

Where can I take something the city will not collect?

Homeowner remodeling material, tires and large metal loads go to an SPSA transfer station or the Regional Landfill in Suffolk. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to the Chesapeake Transfer Station on the first Wednesday or third Saturday of the month, and the city's Recycles Day events take the same material on scheduled Saturdays.Official guidance
