Howell curbside bulk (Priority Waste, one item per week)Pickup service · HowellHowell residentsCost not listed
How it works
Under Howell's 2026–2036 contract with Priority Waste, households may put one bulk item per week out with Tuesday trash. Mattresses and box springs should preferably be bagged; appliance doors must be removed and freon removed and tagged by a licensed technician.
Cost & rules
- Before you go: Bagging is recommended but not required.

Before you go

Don’t assume a box spring is priced like a mattress; ask separately.
Tell the operator if it’s a split (two-piece) box spring; some charge per piece.
Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs before you go.
