Junk removal in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids runs bulk pickup on stickers. Each large item at the curb needs a city bulk sticker, sold at the Customer Service storefront in City Hall and at some supermarkets and neighborhood stores. Or skip the sticker and pay for the pickup through the city's online form. Put something out with neither, and it stays at the curb, and the property owner may get a violation.

The counting rules are worth reading closely. A sectional couch needs a sticker for each section. A mattress and its box spring share one. The list goes well past furniture: washers, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, bathtubs, sinks, garage doors, glass or wood doors, even window awnings. Fridge and freezer doors come off first. Nothing bigger than 6 by 5 feet fits in the truck.

After you pay online, set the item at the curb by 7 a.m. the next business day, and leave it there until it's gone. The city says pickup generally happens within a week.

TVs are the exception. The city doesn't collect televisions of any kind at the curb, and it points residents to Kent County resources instead.

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.
