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.

Bulky item collection with the hauler

Accepted with preparation

Kirkland does not send a city crew for oversized items. Waste Management collects bulky material from the curb for single-family homes, and every home has one bulky item collection a year at no additional cost, with further items charged one at a time.

City cost & eligibility
From $37.3 each charged bulky item, with the first bulky item in the year free and the amount depending on the item. Single-family Kirkland households, booked through Waste Management on 425-587-0040 or pnwrsservices@wm.com. The fee is per occurrence per item, is subject to tax and appears on the bi-monthly city utility bill.
When & how
Book with Waste Management before the collection day, then set the item out for the arranged day. Carts and bulky set outs go out by 7 a.m., and the hauler's phone line is open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Bag household garbage separately in the green cart, keep the bulky load reachable at the curb, and book the pickup rather than leaving the item out. Furniture on this route is landfilled rather than recycled, so anything still usable is better donated, and the city treats furniture left on the roadside as illegal dumping.

Bagged household garbage and extras

Special rules apply

Household garbage is bagged inside the green cart, and anything that will not fit with the lid closed goes out beside the cart as a charged extra. Extra recycling is free; extra garbage and yard waste are not.

City cost & eligibility
$9.67 each extra garbage unit of up to 32 gallons set beside the cart, subject to tax. Kirkland garbage customers. The extra must be a 32-gallon personal container with handles or a plastic bag labelled garbage, and it may not exceed 35 pounds.
When & how
Collection day, with the cart and any extra out by 7 a.m. Carts may be put out no earlier than 24 hours before service and must be removed within 24 hours after it.
Get it ready
Close the cart lid on the bagged garbage, because an overflowing cart may be charged as an extra. Label the extra container or bag garbage and keep it under 35 pounds, and put extra household recycling in a paper bag, cardboard box or reusable container labelled recycling instead, which is free.

Book the bulky pickup before the item goes out

Haul the load to a King County transfer station

A Kirkland household with a mattress to recycle, a refrigerant appliance, construction material or a mixed load that should not go in the carts.

Cost & conditions
From $40.25 for for a garbage load of up to 320 pounds, with mattresses and refrigerant appliances charged per item at the station rates. Customers who live or do business in King County's service area, which does not include Seattle or Milton. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash or Apple Pay, and a Cleanup LIFT discount applies with a ProviderOne, EBT or ORCA LIFT card.
Arrange it
Drive the sorted load to the Houghton station at 11724 NE 60th Street in Kirkland, or to Factoria or Shoreline for mattress and refrigerant appliance recycling, and pay at the scale house.

Televisions, computers, monitors, major appliances, batteries, pesticides, propane tanks, sharps and motor oil are refused. Loads are charged by weight with a minimum for the first 320 pounds, the combined vehicle and trailer length is capped at the station, dense items over 200 pounds and rigid pieces over eight feet need prior clearance, and an unsecured load carries an extra fee.

Open the King County Houghton station page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Kirkland means a King County transfer station. The Houghton station on NE 60th Street sits inside the city in the Bridle Trails area, and the Factoria station in Bellevue and the Shoreline station are the nearer options for recycling rather than disposal. Customers must live or do business in King County outside Seattle and Milton, loads are paid at the scale house by card, cash or Apple Pay, and the charge is by weight with a minimum for the first 320 pounds. The choice of station matters: a mattress is recycled at Factoria and Shoreline but handled as garbage at Houghton, and refrigerant appliances are recycled at Factoria and Shoreline for a per unit fee. Televisions, computers, monitors, major appliances, batteries, pesticides, propane tanks, sharps and motor oil are refused, so the free E-Cycle Washington drop off at Pacific Power Batteries of Kirkland or Goodwill Juanita is the route for a screen. Renovation material has to arrive without asbestos or hazardous waste and without a hydraulic dump bed unless construction material is a small share of the load.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Kirkland?

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 many bulky items can a Kirkland household set out?

One bulky item collection is included each year at no additional cost, and further items are charged per item when Waste Management books the pickup. Furniture, mattresses and appliances all use that route, and because the bulky load is landfilled, the city asks residents to donate or give away anything that still works.Official guidance

What does extra garbage beside the cart cost in Kirkland?

Extra recycling is free, but extra garbage and yard waste that will not fit with the lid closed are charged by the unit based on volume. A garbage extra must be a 32-gallon personal container or a bag labelled garbage and may not weigh more than 35 pounds.Official guidance

How does bulky item collection work in Kirkland?

Oversized items are booked with Waste Management rather than a city crew: call 425-587-0040 or email pnwrsservices@wm.com. Each single-family home has one bulky item collection a year at no additional cost and every further item is charged per item. Furniture and mattresses go to the landfill on that route, while a mattress can be recycled and a refrigerant appliance can be recycled for a fee at a King County transfer station instead.Official guidance

When should a Kirkland resident use a county transfer station?

The Houghton station on NE 60th Street is inside Kirkland, and Factoria in Bellevue and Shoreline are the nearer stations for recycling. Customers must live or do business in King County outside Seattle and Milton, loads are charged by weight with a minimum for the first 320 pounds, and televisions, computers, major appliances, batteries and some dense items are refused or need prior clearance, so confirm a mixed load before hauling it.Official guidance
