Junk removal vs. Atlanta’s bulk trash pickup

Atlanta treats appliances, furniture, large piles of branches and big playground equipment as bulk rubbish, collected by appointment. Households get up to 12 bulk collections a year, booked at least one business day ahead online or through ATL311.

How bulk pickup works in Atlanta

  • Book bulk rubbish collection at least one business day in advance.
  • There is a limit of 12 bulk collections per year.
  • More than 20 bags of yard trimmings counts as bulk rubbish and needs an appointment.
  • Hard-to-recycle items such as electronics and household chemicals should not go in curbside carts.

City collection is a good free option when your items fit the rules and you can wait for your booked appointment. A junk removal crew makes more sense when you need things gone sooner, when they’re still inside the house, or when the pile is bigger than 12 appointment-based bulk collections a year.

Recycling, donation and local tips in Atlanta

The Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) on Hill Street SE takes items such as electronics, paint and other hard-to-recycle materials, by appointment.

Old paint, electronics and chemicals are better routed through CHaRM than a general junk load, and a good junk removal crew will set them aside.

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners contain refrigerant that federal EPA rules require to be recovered before the appliance is scrapped, which is why appliances are quoted separately from general junk.

How junk removal pricing works in Atlanta

Every junk removal job in Atlanta is quoted individually, and the price is agreed before anything is loaded. It depends on:

  • Truck space used
  • Weight of the materials
  • Stairs, elevators and carrying distance
  • Mattresses, appliances and electronics
  • Disposal and recycling fees

Compared with 12 appointment-based bulk collections a year through the City of Atlanta Office of Solid Waste Services, a quote from us covers whatever amount you have, with the labor, the driving and the disposal in one figure.

Junk Removal in Atlanta: frequently asked questions

What junk won’t you take?

Crews can’t take hazardous materials such as liquid paint, solvents, fuel, asbestos or medical waste. Almost everything else from a home or garage is fine. If you’re not sure, mention it on the quote form.

Do I need to move items outside?

No. The crew carries items out from any room, attic, basement or backyard. Just make sure there’s a clear path and tell us about stairs or long carries.

Where can I recycle electronics in Atlanta?

Old paint, electronics and chemicals are better routed through CHaRM than a general junk load, and a good junk removal crew will set them aside.

Why hire junk removal in Atlanta instead of waiting for the city?
