    How it works

    Annual one-sweep curbside/alley collection each fall for City of Hays residential refuse customers. Items are sorted into four piles: construction debris, small tree limbs, white goods/metals (washers, dryers, refrigerators) and other bulky waste (furniture, carpet, mattresses, box springs). No tires, hazardous waste or batteries. The 2026 sweep begins October 19.

    Cost & rules
    • Once a year (2026 sweep begins October 19); one sweep with a 10-minute limit per home; sort items into piles.

Before you go

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