Lansing City bulk pickup: $33 first item, $16.50 more

The City of Lansing publishes per-item pricing for its bulk collection and provides a direct City bulk collection request form. This is Lansing, not East Lansing, which has a different sticker program.

Quick answer

Lansing’s official bulk-item page lists $33 for the first item and $16.50 for each additional item. A one-couch collection is therefore $33; a couch and one other accepted item would be $49.50 if both qualify for the same booking. Request collection through the City form and confirm your CART-account and item eligibility before setting anything out.

How to arrange disposal

Step 1. Check that the address is within Lansing City and enrolled in an eligible City collection service. East Lansing is a separate municipality.
Step 2. Use the City’s Bulk Collection Request Form linked from its Submit page, or call City CART at 517-483-4400 for current booking details.
Step 3. Describe all pieces and request item acceptance, a collection day and the total charge. The public pricing is a per-item base, not confirmation that all materials are eligible.
Step 4. Follow the City’s requested set-out instructions and schedule; do not leave an item at the curb before a collection is confirmed.

What about my item?

Sofa and ordinary furniture

The City’s published rate example explicitly uses a couch. Confirm unusually heavy or oversized furniture when booking.

Mattress or box spring

Ask CART whether this item is accepted at the standard item rate and whether wrapping is required; the retrieved rate snippet does not establish that detail.

Refrigerator, other appliances and electronics

Do not assume they qualify for the same truck or fee. Check the item list and approved special recycling routes.

Hazardous materials, construction debris

Keep these separate; the bulk-request program is not general hazardous-waste disposal.

Fees, dates and limits

The $33/$16.50 schedule is the City-published price, not a third-party quote. The live City page presents parts of its content dynamically, so confirm current dates and item-specific eligibility with CART.

Before you set anything out

Check your exact service address and item acceptance on the official linked page or with the responsible collector. Do not leave large items at the curb when a seasonal event has ended.
