Starting at $80. Additional items from +$15.
Junk piles up quietly, then one day it's in the way of everything. Schedule a pickup in the Electric City, see a real price before you book, and get it gone.
You read through the city's rules, call the contracted hauler, leave messages with two more. One calls back with questions and no date. Meanwhile the pile sits exactly where it sat last spring.
Large item removal in town runs through the city's trash contractor, by request and generally for subscribers only. Appliances with refrigerant, tires, and remodeling debris follow their own rules. And nothing moves until it's out at the curb, which is the part you were stuck on.
Old school haulers price by how much of the truck you fill, a number nobody will give you over the phone. So you wait through an estimate window, then negotiate in your own driveway with a half empty truck idling and your afternoon already gone.
Resale and reuse shops only take what they can actually sell, so stains, tears, pressboard shelving, and tube televisions get turned down. Most want you to deliver during open hours, already loaded. A no at the dock means loading every bit of it back up.
A roll off means scheduling a drop and a pull, finding driveway space that won't crack, and a city permit if it has to sit in the street. Then it parks out front for days, in full view of the block, while you do all the loading.

A chest freezer wedged into a detached garage, or a sleeper sofa carried up a narrow basement stairway: your Loaders are background checked and rated by real locals in Sturgis after each job.
Curbside is the quicker booking when everything is already staged at the street or out on the driveway, which works well for homes here with room to set items out the night before. Choose full service when the treadmill is still in a back bedroom, the dresser is down in the basement, or the old appliance has not moved out of the garage in years, since your Loaders handle getting it out from inside.

Around here, everybody knows somebody with a truck. That part is easy. The hard part is the turn at the bottom of an old basement stairway, a chest freezer nobody has moved in thirty years, and a drive out of town you never planned on. Your Loaders take that off your hands, gladly, for Sturgis neighbors.
Most of what leaves a Sturgis garage or basement is not all one thing. Your Loader sorts by condition, aiming for donation or recycling when local options allow, and plain disposal when they do not.
Items still clean and structurally sound, a dresser or a sturdy table, may be passed along to a reuse outlet when one nearby is accepting that category. Availability varies, and no receipt is provided.
A torn sectional or a dead appliance can still hold recoverable metal, and your Loader will try to separate what area facilities accept. What they take shifts over time, so nothing is guaranteed.
Some loads are past saving: a soaked box spring, a rusted swing set frame. Those go to a permitted disposal site serving the Sturgis area, handled under Michigan solid waste rules rather than dumped.
Guessing wrong here means a rejected pile, a nuisance notice, or a state infraction, so these Sturgis and St. Joseph County rules decide how your load moves.
Borden Waste-Away handles city collection, and its large item removal is offered only to its Sturgis trash subscribers, priced per item. Bagged yard waste rides along in the weekly cart, but logs and large shrubbery are excluded.
The city collects brush during the first weeks of April and October, plus after major storms. Nothing thicker than four inches or longer than eight feet is taken, and crews skip stumps, roots, grass clippings and construction materials.
State law keeps grass, leaves and trimmings out of landfills unless diseased, infested or part of invasive species control, so they belong at a compost site. Burning them instead is barred in municipalities of 7,500 or more unless local ordinance allows it.
St. Joseph County holds household hazardous waste and electronics collection events twice a year, typically spring and fall. Residents may drop two televisions or monitors at no cost, while additional screens carry a per-item fee and other electronics have no charge or limit.
Refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners are turned away at the county electronics program because of their refrigerant. Federal rules require a certified technician to recover that refrigerant before disposal, so these units route to a scrap metal processor instead.
Remodeling and demolition material is excluded from curbside recycling and the city brush program. Michigan solid waste law requires it to reach a licensed disposal facility, open dumping is prohibited statewide, and debris left in view invites nuisance complaints locally.

St. Joseph County runs a household hazardous waste and electronics collection twice a year at the Centreville Fairgrounds, free for the first 100 pounds and $2 per pound after that. It will not take large appliances, but OmniSource on S. Centerville Road in Sturgis accepts refrigerators, freezers, and dehumidifiers.
Loaders sort usable items and aim to donate what local charities will accept, then try to recycle materials like metal and electronics whenever options allow. The goal is to keep as much as possible out of St. Joseph County landfills, with only what remains going to the proper facility.
Not for curbside pickups. Leave items outside in an easily accessible spot with access notes and your Loaders take it from there. For in-home removal of heavy or hard-to-move junk, someone should be present, and your Loaders typically call ahead before they arrive.
