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.

Bulk waste, tires and yard waste

Accepted with preparation

Bulk waste is scheduled and limited to twelve collections a year and three cubic yards at a time, while yard waste rides the normal trash day and tires are limited to four per collection day and twelve a year.

City cost & eligibility
Norfolk does not list a per item price for a scheduled bulk pickup on the pages read here and says charges may apply when a collection passes the three cubic yard limit, so call Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 and confirm the terms before the load goes out.
When & how
Yard waste is collected on the normal trash day, while bulk waste, tires and special items are collected on that same day only after a request on the MyNorfolk app or portal, by email, or by calling (757) 664-6510 by 3 p.m. the day before collection.
Get it ready
Yard waste goes out in clear plastic bags or cut, tied and bundled pieces up to four feet long and six inches in diameter, with no more than twenty bags of no more than forty five pounds each or twenty bundles of no more than three cubic feet each; drain fuel from lawn equipment and keep propane cylinders, chemicals and other hazardous items out of the load; keep tires to four per collection day and twelve a year, and keep everything reachable and clear of obstructions.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Every pile outside the cart needs a request

Overflow trash and bulk waste have to be scheduled, and the request has to reach the city no later than 3 p.m. the day before the collection day. Residents use the MyNorfolk app or portal, email, or Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510, and the collection then happens on the normal trash day. A pile that was never scheduled may draw a Notice of Violation, and a scheduled pickup the crew misses is taken the following week.

Bulk waste and tire limits

Bulk waste is limited to twelve collections a year and cannot exceed three cubic yards in one collection, with special collections scheduled through a bulky item request, and charges may apply to a load that goes past the size limit. Non commercial tires are limited to four per collection day and twelve per year, and hazardous or dangerous items are prohibited from the pile.

Yard waste preparation

Yard waste is collected on the normal trash day in clear plastic bags or as cut, tied and bundled pieces four feet long or less, with branches six inches in diameter or less and bundles no larger than eighteen inches across. Up to twenty bags weighing no more than forty five pounds each, or twenty bundles of no more than three cubic feet each, are taken per collection, the pile cannot be mixed with other debris, and lawn services and contractors remove the yard waste they generate.

Where the pile can sit

Items must not be blocked by vehicles, trees, poles, mailboxes, fences or low hanging overhead wires, and containers go six feet from vehicles and other obstructions with the bar facing the street and the wheels facing the residence. Containers must be city issued and stored five feet behind the building line or screened from view.

City of Norfolk Department of Public Works, Division of Waste Management

Schedule the pickup with the city division of waste management

A Norfolk household at a residence that is on the city collection system, with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, exercise equipment or a pile that will not fit in the 90 gallon cart.

Cost & conditions
Norfolk lists no per item price for a scheduled bulk or special collection on the pages read here and says charges may apply when a collection passes the three cubic yard limit, so call Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 and confirm the terms before the item goes out.
Arrange it
Request the pickup on the MyNorfolk app or the MyNorfolk portal, by email, or by calling Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 by 3 p.m. the day before the collection day, then set the items out after 5 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on the normal trash day.

Bulk collections are capped at twelve a year and three cubic yards per collection, hazardous or dangerous items are prohibited, construction and demolition material is never collected, and the refuse disposal rate sits on the monthly public service bill rather than in a per item price. The four units or less figure the city publishes applies to curbside recycling eligibility rather than to bulk pickup, so a larger building should confirm its collection channel on (757) 664-6510.

Through your building

Buildings that arrange their own hauling

A Norfolk apartment or condominium building where the property arranges its own hauling rather than relying on the city collection channel.

Cost & conditions
Where a Norfolk building arranges its own hauling, the cost and the accepted items are set by the building or its private hauler rather than by the city, which lists no rate for it. The four units or less figure the city publishes applies to curbside recycling eligibility, so confirm the collection channel on (757) 664-6510.
Arrange it
Ask the building manager or the property's hauler about the bulky item, mattress and appliance process first, and use the city channel only for an address that is on the city collection system.

The city publishes the four units or less figure as a curbside recycling eligibility rule and states no bulk pickup size boundary, so a building of any size should confirm on (757) 664-6510 whether the city channel reaches it, and a private hauler's rules on appliances, refrigerant units and electronics are set by that hauler rather than posted by the city.

Check collection eligibility

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Norfolk households use the city collection for trash, recycling and yard waste, with recycling picked up every other week on the trash day and yard waste limited to twenty clear bags or twenty tied bundles per collection. Anything larger is scheduled: residents request a bulk or special pickup on the MyNorfolk app or portal, by email, or through Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 by 3 p.m. the day before, the city caps bulk waste at twelve collections a year and three cubic yards at a time, and charges may apply above that size. Electronics, lithium batteries and household hazardous waste are not collected at the curb and go to the SPSA Norfolk Transfer Station at 3136 Woodland Avenue on Tuesdays and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., where electronics are free for residents, the limit is five items per visit and proof of Norfolk residency is required. Two special waste collection events a year take the same material free, construction and demolition material has to go to a private contractor, and tires are limited to four per collection day and twelve a year.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Norfolk?

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 much bulk waste will Norfolk collect?

Norfolk limits bulk waste to twelve collections a year and not more than three cubic yards in a single collection, and the city says charges may apply when a load passes that size. Requests go in through the MyNorfolk app or portal, by email, or by calling Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 no later than 3 p.m. the day before the collection day, the pickup lands on the resident's normal trash day, and an unscheduled pile may draw a Notice of Violation. Yard waste is separate and rides the normal trash day at up to twenty clear bags or twenty tied bundles.Official guidance
