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.

Refuse Department pickup for large items

Accepted with preparation

The city's knowledge base answer to what bulk items the city picks up names four groups: furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, all collected by the Refuse Department. That single sentence is the whole published bulky route for Charleston.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city lists furniture, appliances, televisions and tires as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky item fee, so the draft does not assert one. Confirm the arrangement with the department before set-out.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement rather than a published bulky day, which the city does not print.
Get it ready
Keep the items out of the recycling container and separate from bagged household garbage, and contact the department to arrange the pickup because the city publishes no appointment rule, item limit or fee. Anything outside the four named groups should be confirmed before it is set out.
Knowledge base: what bulk items the City of Charleston picks up

Furniture and household furnishings

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is the first item named in the city's bulk answer, so a couch or another household furnishing goes through the Refuse Department rather than the recycling container.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is named in the city's bulk answer with no published fee, so the draft states the acceptance and leaves the arrangement to the department.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement, since the city publishes no bulky day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the recycling container and away from the bags, and contact the department to arrange the pickup. Donate anything still usable first, because the city's route is disposal rather than reuse.
Knowledge base: what bulk items the City of Charleston picks up

Appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are the second item in the city's bulk answer and are collected by the Refuse Department. The city publishes no refrigerant condition, tag rule or fee, so the draft does not invent one.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are named in the city's bulk answer with no published fee, so the draft states the acceptance and leaves the arrangement to the department.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and keep it out of the recycling container, then contact the department to arrange the pickup. Because the city prints no refrigerant rule, ask about a refrigerator or air conditioner when the pickup is booked rather than assuming the same conditions as other cities apply.
Knowledge base: what bulk items the City of Charleston picks up

Tires

Accepted with preparation

Tires are the fourth item in the city's bulk answer, so the Refuse Department is the published route for a passenger tire rather than a transfer station or a retail counter.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Tires are named in the city's bulk answer with no published fee, so the draft states the acceptance without asserting a charge or a limit.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement.
Get it ready
Keep the tire out of the recycling container and out of the garbage bag, and contact the department to arrange the pickup. Because the city publishes no tire limit or fee, confirm how many tires and any charge when the pickup is booked.

Right place.

Call for furniture, appliances, televisions and tires

The city's published bulky route is a sentence rather than a schedule: the Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires. No fee, item limit or appointment rule is printed, so contact the department to arrange the collection and confirm anything outside those four groups before it goes to the curb.

City of Charleston Public Works and Refuse Department, with the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority

Ask the Refuse Department for a bulky pickup

A city household with furniture, an appliance, a television or a tire to dispose of.

Cost & conditions
No charge. The city names those four groups as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky fee, so the acceptance is stated without a price.
Arrange it
Contact the Refuse Department, describe the items and arrange the collection, then set them out as directed rather than on a fixed bulky day.

Only the four published groups, no printed item limit or fee, and anything else has to be confirmed first or routed through the county recycling directory.

Charleston bulk item answer

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Charleston runs through the city first and the county second. The city Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, and the same weekly trash day carries the recycling, with cardboard, mixed paper, aluminium and steel cans and plastics numbered one and two accepted while glass and the higher numbered plastics are refused. Leaves are bagged for the trash day or raked to the street edge for the supplemental loose leaf collection that starts in early November. For anything outside those routes, the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority keeps a directory of drop-off locations, naming its own Charleston facility and West Virginia Cashin Recyclables in Nitro for common recyclables and a metals business for metal, and the authority warns that the options change often, so a call before loading is the practical step.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Charleston?

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.

What bulk items does Charleston pick up?
