The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction waste is refused at the Community Cleanup, so a project load has to go to a transfer station, and lumber over eight feet is refused even there on cleanup terms.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the cleanup page nor the transfer station pages retained for Lakewood publish a construction debris rate, and the cleanup refuses construction waste and lumber longer than 8 feet, so confirm the station, the accepted material and the fee before loading a project.
When & how
Do not take construction material to a Community Cleanup. Take it to a transfer station such as the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center, which takes self hauled loads seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep construction waste, concrete and loose material out of the cleanup load, cut nothing to hide the rules because both construction waste and concrete are refused outright, and call the station first to confirm what it will take and what it charges.
The city contracts Waste Connections, trading locally as LeMay Pierce County Refuse, for garbage services, and the local office is at 4111 192nd Street East in Tacoma on (253) 875-5053. Residential garbage, recycling and food and yard waste collection all run through that contract, with recycling available wherever garbage pickup is offered, and questions about carts, service days and missed collections go to the hauler rather than to the city.
Two free cleanup weekends a year carry the bulky load
The city runs a Community Cleanup once in the spring and once in the fall at the Lakewood Transfer Station, 3869 94th St SW, and the fall 2026 event runs Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25 from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. with the last vehicle admitted at 1:45 p.m. It is free for Lakewood residents who show a utility bill or identification, and the accepted list covers tires off their rims, bicycles, furniture, grills, appliances, recyclables and bagged garbage. The rules are strict: a five minute unload limit, no box vans or vehicles taller than 7 feet, trailers no larger than 4 feet by 8 feet, no unsafe loads, proper footwear, self unloading up a steep ramp and everything loose bagged. Mattresses, electronics, paint and hazardous material, yard waste, construction waste, lumber over 8 feet, concrete, auto parts, propane tanks, donations and commercial waste are all refused.
Outside the cleanup weekends the city's rule is that large items, yard waste, paint, electronics and hazardous material have to be taken to a transfer station or a special waste location. The stations it names are the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center at 3510 S Mullen Street in Tacoma, Thurston Waste and Recovery at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey, and the Hidden Valley Transfer Station at 17925 Meridian Street E in Puyallup. The Tacoma centre takes self hauled garbage, recycling, yard waste and hazardous waste, with the transfer centre and recycle centre open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and a household hazardous waste facility open Friday to Monday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and closed Tuesday to Thursday. Paint goes to PaintCare drop-offs, glass goes to the county drop-off points rather than the recycling cart, and the Pierce County recycling menu covers televisions, chemicals, needles and medications.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Lakewood with Waste Connections and LeMay Pierce County Refuse
Self haul to a transfer station
A household with a mattress, construction debris, yard waste or any load the cleanup weekends refuse.
Cost & conditions
The city lists the stations but publishes no gate fee for Lakewood customers, and the Tacoma utility sets its rates by container size for its own customers, so confirm the charge for the load at the station before travelling.
Arrange it
Take the load to the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center at 3510 S Mullen Street, open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or to the Hidden Valley station in Puyallup or Thurston Waste and Recovery in Lacey.
A self haul route rather than a kerbside collection, with fees that are not published on the retained pages, and the Tacoma household hazardous waste facility is closed Tuesday to Thursday.
City of Lakewood with Waste Connections and LeMay Pierce County Refuse
Use the county specialty recycling routes
A household with a television, chemicals, needles, medications, paint or glass.
Cost & conditions
The city links the county menu, PaintCare and the glass drop-off tool rather than publishing their terms, so confirm the accepted items and any charge with the county or the programme before a trip.
Arrange it
Search the Pierce County recycling menu for the item, use the PaintCare drop-off locator for paint, and use the county glass tool to find a nearby glass drop-off, keeping glass out of the regular recycling cart.
These are county and product stewardship programmes rather than city services, and the city warns that paint should not go in the regular garbage and glass should not go in regular recycling.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakewood.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Lakewood?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Lakewood?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Will Lakewood take construction debris?+
Not at the Community Cleanup, which refuses construction waste, concrete, lumber longer than 8 feet and loose items. The city's general direction is that large items go to a transfer station or special waste location, so a project load travels to the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center at 3510 S Mullen Street, open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or another listed station, and the fee has to be confirmed because no rate is published on the retained pages.Official guidance
Who collects Lakewood garbage and recycling?+
Waste Connections, trading locally as LeMay Pierce County Refuse, collects under the city contract, with the local office at 4111 192nd Street East in Tacoma on (253) 875-5053. The residential service covers weekly garbage plus recycling and food or yard waste collection, with recycling available wherever garbage pickup is offered, and the contract does not include a kerbside bulky item collection, which is why the city runs the free cleanup weekends instead.Official guidance
What will the Lakewood cleanup not take?+
Commercial waste, loose items, paint and hazardous materials, yard waste, construction waste, lumber longer than 8 feet, concrete, auto parts, explosive materials, propane tanks, electronics, donations and mattresses are all refused, and the city's own refuse page adds that refrigerators are excluded from the appliances it accepts. That leaves the transfer stations for mattresses, construction material, electronics and refrigerators, and the county specialty routes for paint, glass, chemicals and medications.Official guidance
Where do Lakewood large items go outside the cleanup?+
The city says large items, yard waste, paint, electronics and hazardous materials must be brought to a transfer station or special waste location, and it lists the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center at 3510 S Mullen Street, Thurston Waste and Recovery at 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey and the Hidden Valley Transfer Station at 17925 Meridian Street E in Puyallup. The Tacoma centre takes self hauled garbage, recycling, yard waste and hazardous waste, with the transfer centre and recycle centre open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the household hazardous waste facility open Friday to Monday. No per load fee is published on the retained pages, so confirm the charge first.Official guidance
