Owensboro Sanitation - Bulky Collections & Special Loads


Your $12.00 basic service fee covers normal mobile cart collection. With our “pay as you throw” system, we offer additional services for the collection of items that will not fit inside your cart.
Guidelines for Quality Service
Please contact us in advance for collections. Since we have only one truck for this service, you may experience service delays. When you phone us, please give a good description of the items in your load. This allows for a better cost estimate. Place items to be collected curbside. Due to liability limitations, we are not allowed to drive into your yard for service.


Special Load Items
Typical items that we collect by special load are:
- Excess household solid waste
- Old furniture, TVs and rugs
- Appliances: Washers, refrigerators, etc.
- Tires
Fees
Cost for this service is based upon pickup truck sized load equivalents. Additional fees for specific items may be charged:
- Each pickup truck sized load - $15.00
- Additional charge for Freon items - $15.00
- Additional charge per tire (fee varies based on type; call office for more information)
