Keep Mansfield Beautiful Commission (KMBC) promotes city-lead events like Chunk Your Junk and Shred Day.

Fall/Spring Chunk Your Junk Days

Chunk Your Junk events are a chance for residents to bring in old, bulky items that are too large to set out for regular curbside pickup. These events are held twice a year, typically the first week of April and October.

Free, onsite secure shredding is also offered during Chunk Your Junk events. There is also a Shred-Only Day offered in January.

 Check the calendar for upcoming events.

Items can include:

  • Box Springs
  • Car Batteries
  • Cooking Oil
  • Couches
  • Dryers
  • Furniture
  • Mattresses
  • Other Appliances (AC units, refrigerators and freezers will be accepted only if the coolant has been removed)
  • Scrap Metal
  • Tires
  • Tree Limbs/Brush
  • Washers
  • And anything else that is too big to be picked up by regular curbside service

To expedite your drop-off, please keep your bulky items separated and your trash in bags.
