Junk removal in Ann Arbor

Don't drag an old couch to the curb in Ann Arbor. The city says furniture, mattresses and appliances left there won't be picked up, and you could be fined. Its trash carts also refuse carpet, tires, construction material, concrete, electronics and Freon appliances.

Instead, the city sends you to two sites run by Recycle Ann Arbor, a non-profit. The Drop-Off Station on East Ellsworth Road takes electronics, appliances including Freon ones, tires, light bulbs and textiles, plus furniture and other general waste. It's self-service. Staff can't unload your vehicle, so bring a friend for the heavy pieces. From November to March, bulky waste, furniture and scrap metal may be turned away after 5 p.m., because the lighting is low where they're stored.

The Recovery Yard on Jackson Road handles a remodel's leftovers. It takes heavy construction debris, treated wood, brick, tile, pianos, furniture, mattresses and railroad ties, and it rents roll-off containers for renovations and cleanouts. Neither site takes paint, latex or oil-based. Leftover oil paints, solvents and pesticides go to the Washtenaw County Home Toxics Center.

One more thing sets the Recovery Yard apart. Recycle Ann Arbor calls it Michigan's only non-profit, mission-based construction and demolition recycler, and it sorts concrete, clean wood, cardboard and metal out of the debris so they can be recycled.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on how much there is, but a hauler who sees it in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much of a truck your stuff fills — a few items cost far less than a full truckload. Heavy or special items like appliances and mattresses add a disposal fee.
Do you handle big or heavy items?
Most haulers do — appliances, furniture, mattresses, construction debris. Let us know in the quick questions so the ballpark includes the disposal fees.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot that shows the whole pile, or the full room, gives the best read on how much there is.
