Junk removal in Killeen

A Killeen bulk pile needs headroom. The city's Solid Waste Division asks for at least 4 feet of clear space on each side, 2 feet behind and 14 feet overhead, so the equipment can reach it. A spot under a low limb or a sagging wire won't work.

The good news is the wait. Bulk collection runs every week on your regular trash day. Set items at the curb by 7 a.m., but no earlier than the day before. Fees follow the city's adopted schedule and go on your utility account. Couches, mattresses, bed frames, grills, washers, dryers and water heaters all qualify, and boxes may count too. A fridge or air conditioner with Freon needs special handling and an added fee. Empty it, clean it and secure the doors first.

Some things never go to the curb: dirt, rocks, tires, car batteries, liquids, boats, camper shells, or a lawnmower or engine with oil or gas in it. If you're clearing brush too, keep it in its own pile, and leave out treated lumber and old fence boards.

For a load the curb won't take, the Killeen Transfer Station on State Highway 195 accepts furniture and construction debris. City trash customers who bring a valid ID and a current water bill can drop up to 500 pounds a month there, plus four mattresses, with no disposal charge, if it came from their own home. Waste from Fort Hood gets in only with the City Manager's prior approval.

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.
