Bulk trash pickup on your schedule, not the city's
Around Dayton, curbside bulk pickup comes with rules. The City of Dayton picks up bulk items one Friday a month, by zone, and only if you schedule ahead. Kettering and Fairborn's Rumpke service takes three bulk items a week. Everything has to be at the curb, wrapped or bundled the right way, and some items aren't accepted at all.
Zach's Pack Hauling is the on-demand version. We pick up from wherever the stuff is (living room, basement, garage or backyard), take items the city won't, and we don't cap how many pieces you put out. The table below shows how the local programs compare so you can choose the cheapest route that works.

Firm price
You pay for the trailer space it fills, with the price set before we load.
We do the carrying
From inside, the garage or the yard. Nothing has to be at the curb.
Gone in one trip
We load it, haul it off and sweep up.
To get the most out of the trip
- Walk the house, garage and yard and gather everything so it all goes in one load.
- Mark anything that stays with tape or a sticky note.
- Bag loose small stuff. It loads faster and costs less.
- Tell us about heavy items, like a piano, safe or hot tub, so we come prepared.
What affects bulk trash removal cost
- Total volume (how much of the trailer it fills)
- Heavy material like appliances or a piano
- Stairs and long carries
- Items with special disposal rules

*Prices shown are general starting points for standard household junk. Final pricing may vary based on material weight, labor, stairs, access, and specific disposal costs. You will always receive a firm price before work begins.

Curbside is the cheapest option when you've got a few items, you can carry them out and you can wait. Call us when it's more than the limit, the city won't take it, it's still inside, or you need it gone before a move, a closing or a showing.
Avoid fines and missed pickups
- Items set out wrong, like an unwrapped mattress or an over-limit pile, can be left behind on bulk day.
- In Dayton, bulk waste can't go in your city trash container, and dumping it anywhere but a licensed facility is a misdemeanor.
- Glass items like mirrors and shower doors need taping for curbside pickup.
Where your bulk trash goes
Items go to a licensed disposal facility. We never leave junk on a curb or in an alley.
