Responsible Disposal
We estimate by phone, walk through it on site, and price what actually fills the truck.
Full Service Trash Removal Done Right
A curbside cart is built for weekly upkeep, not a mattress, a broken appliance, or a garage that has not been touched in years. The crew handles the load your regular pickup will not, sized to the job with a plan set before anyone starts loading.
Heavy Lifting Handled For You
Stairs, tight hallways, and awkward angles do not change the estimate once it is set.
Responsible Sorting and Disposal
Trash is evaluated for the best available option and directed to the most appropriate recycling, reuse, or disposal outlet whenever possible.
Your Space Left Neat and Tidy
We hold our crews to a high standard. Tanya makes sure of it, using photos and follow-up with customers to keep everyone accountable.
Trash Removal Built Around Seattle
Seattle’s garbage service has real limits, and knowing where those limits sit is most of what separates a quick pickup from a stressful one.
- Standard carts ban mattresses, large appliances, and tires outright, not just a size limit
- Multi unit buildings in Belltown and Capitol Hill often need pickups scheduled around shared dumpster access
- A cart alone can't handle a mattress, a broken appliance, or a garage's worth of junk.
- Hillside homes in Queen Anne and West Seattle often need debris carried down before a truck can load it
Seattle’s standard garbage service will not take mattresses, large appliances, or tires, no matter how they’re set out. Trash removal handles anything the cart won’t, no drop off, no sorting it yourself. King County restricts oversized and dense material at its transfer stations, which is part of why sorting the right materials before pickup matters, according to King County Solid Waste.
Straightforward Trash Removal Pricing
Pricing is based on how much space your trash takes up in the truck. We publish our rates online for full transparency. We’re happy to talk through what you have over the phone and give you a good sense of pricing before we arrive. Then we assess everything in person and give you a final estimate for your approval before we get started.
Priced by Truck Volume
A mattress alone prices differently than a truckload of mixed household trash.
Your Approval First
The crew sizes up the actual load before confirming a price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as trash removal versus regular garbage pickup?
Trash removal covers anything too large, heavy, or banned for a standard curbside cart, mattresses, appliances, furniture, or a full load after a cleanout, rather than routine weekly garbage.
Can trash removal handle a mix of household items and general debris in one pickup?
Yes. A single pickup can include mixed household trash alongside furniture, appliances, or general debris, priced together as one load.
Is trash removal cheaper than using multiple municipal special pickups?
Often, yes, for a larger load. The city charges per special pickup and limits what it will take, while one truck visit can clear a full garage or post move pile in a single trip.
How is pricing calculated for trash removal in Seattle?
By the volume of space the trash takes up in the truck, not by counting individual items. A quote gets confirmed on site before anything is loaded, and current rates are posted on the price list.
What happens to trash after it is picked up?
Materials are evaluated for the best available option once they leave the property, directed to the most appropriate recycling, reuse, or disposal outlet whenever practical, rather than assumed to be recycled automatically.
Can trash removal be scheduled the same day?
In many cases, yes, depending on the size of the job and the day’s schedule. Same day and next day appointments are common.
Is Seattle Rubbish Removal licensed and insured?
Yes, Seattle Rubbish Removal is licensed and insured.
Does the crew take items Seattle's standard garbage service will not?
Yes. Mattresses, large appliances, and other banned curbside items get picked up and hauled away as part of a standard trash removal job.
