Noblesville, IN Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk-item disposal in Noblesville runs through Republic Services, the contracted hauler, under Chapter 91 of the Noblesville City Code. Process: contact Republic Services at (317) 567-6400 at least 48 hours before the resident's regular collection day to schedule the pickup; Republic provides a quoted fee billed directly to the resident (not through City Utilities). Bulk items are placed at the curb the night before or the morning of the scheduled pickup, with the same 7:00 a.m. set-out deadline and 4-foot clearance rules as regular cart placement. Acceptable bulk: most furniture (couches, chairs, mattresses, box springs), large household items, and household goods that do not contain refrigerant or hazardous materials. NOT accepted in standard bulk: refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and other appliances containing freon, which require separate handling — residents may contact Appliance Recyclers at 1-800-487-1010 for freon-containing units. Also NOT accepted: household hazardous waste (paints, solvents, automotive fluids), electronics (TVs, computers), construction and demolition debris, tires, large quantities of liquids, and yard waste in non-compostable containers. Hamilton County coordinates household hazardous waste and electronics drop-off events; the City also publishes recycling drop-off events through Public Works. Overage bags: residents with one-time excess trash beyond the cart capacity may purchase $1.00 overage bags at the City Street Department (40-pound max per bag); these get collected with regular trash. Christmas tree pickup: bagged or untied Christmas trees (cut to fit in the trash cart, or left curbside) are picked up by the City Street Department between December 26 and January 10 each year. Bulk dumping outside this system is a Chapter 91 violation and (for materials reaching waterways) a Chapter 52 stormwater violation.
