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

Count each piece separately: mattress, box spring and topper can be priced differently.
Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs; many recyclers refuse damaged bedding.
Confirm per-piece pricing and whether wrapping or an appointment is required.
