Junk removal in Cleveland

Miss the first full week of the month in Cleveland, and your old couch waits another month. On your regular collection day that week, the city takes up to three bulk items per home: furniture, large boxes, mattresses and couches wrapped in plastic, and appliances with the coolants and fluids drained.

Household chemicals like oil, cleaners, solvents and pesticides have their own day. The Division of Waste takes them on the first Friday of the month, at the Carr Center on Carnegie Avenue and at Ridge Road.

The Division of Waste won't collect anything left over from building, renovating or tearing down. That covers old toilets and sinks along with drywall, shingles, siding, brick and concrete. For those, the city suggests a private hauler or renting one of its own dumpsters.

Ridge Road Transfer Station is the other option for bulk. Residents can drop off bulk waste there four times a year, up to 4 cubic yards a visit, in a trailer no bigger than 4 by 8 feet. The city's own math for that: a full-size pickup bed filled level to the top holds about 2 cubic yards, and filled to the height of the cab, about 4.

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.
