Dubai Municipality Junk Removal: How the Free Bulky Waste Service Works
Want your old sofa gone without paying? This guide explains Dubai Municipality junk removal, how to book it, and what it will not take.
We are a private, licensed company, not Dubai Municipality. When the free service cannot help, we can, often the same day.
Need it gone today instead? Send a photo on WhatsApp. We reply with a price and a time.
Licensed company. Fully insured. Open 6am to 11pm, seven days.
Dubai Municipality Junk Collection: How Fast Does It Come?
Usually within a few days. Khaleej Times reported that a municipality employee calls you within three days of your request to set a collection appointment.
You get an SMS once the collection is done. Dubai Municipality junk collection runs on a set schedule, so you cannot always pick the exact hour.
The municipality says its field teams work a morning schedule from Sunday to Friday.
If you are moving out tomorrow, that wait can be too long. That is when a private collector makes sense.
How to Book Dubai Municipality Junk Removal
There are a few ways to ask for the free bulky waste service. All of them are run by the municipality, not by us.
WhatsApp 800900
Gulf News reported in 2024 that residents can apply on WhatsApp at 800900. This is also the Dubai Municipality bulky waste collection number.
The App and Website
Gulf News explained that you can request it in the Dubai Municipality app, under Waste Management. Choose the bulky waste removal service.
By Phone for Senior Citizens and People of Determination
The municipality said that senior citizens and people of determination can call its call centre on 800900.
Details to Have Ready
What the Free Bulky Waste Service Collects
The service is for household items that are too big for your bin. Reports describe three main groups.
Dubai Municipality Furniture Disposal: Sofas, Beds and Mattresses
Old sofas, beds, mattresses and tables are covered, Gulf News reported. This is the most common reason people book.
Before and after: a bulky waste pile cleared from the kerb.
Large Appliances
Fridges, washing machines and water heaters are on the list. Unplug and drain them before the crew arrives.
E Waste
Televisions and computers are covered too. For more options, see our e waste collection page.
Where to Leave the Items
Gulf News says you can then leave items at your doorstep or by your bins. The same report says it is free regardless of quantity.
Areas the Free Service Does Not Cover
Not every Dubai address qualifies. The municipality says the service excludes real estate development zones and free zones.
The Palm and Discovery Gardens
Gulf News named The Palm and Discovery Gardens as excluded zones. Many other master communities are run by developers too.
Developer Communities
In developer zones, the municipality said it works with facility managers on their own disposal programmes. Ask your community manager what applies to you.
Bulky Waste Is Not Daily Garbage
Bulky waste collection in Dubai is separate from regular Dubai Municipality garbage collection from your building bins. Never leave a sofa by the bins without a booking.
What the Free Service Will Not Take
The reports describe home furniture, appliances and e waste from residents. They do not mention the loads below.
For trimmings only, Dubai Municipality has offered free green waste pickup on 800900, Khaleej Times reported. Always check with 800900 before you book.
If your load is outside the free service, a licensed private collector is the usual route.

How Much Does Junk Removal Cost Compared With the Free Service?
The municipality service is free. Our collection is free for usable furniture, with a fixed fee for the rest. We fix your price from photos before we leave our yard.
What Other Options Cost in Dubai
| Option | Typical cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai Municipality bulky waste | Free | Home items only. Booked slot, items at the doorstep or bins |
| Free resale collectors | Free | Only the items they can resell |
| Private haulier, small job | AED 99 to 150 | A common market minimum |
| Private haulier, standard pickup | AED 150 to 300 | One truck and two crew |
| Junk Removal Solutions | Free for usable items, fixed fee for the rest | Carried from any floor, often the same day, area swept |
Market rates are published competitor prices from takejunkindubai.com and dubaiwaste.com. They are a guide, not our quotes.
What Disposal Sites Charge
Private collectors pay gate fees set in Executive Council Resolution No. 58 of 2017. That is one reason damaged items carry a fee.
When Paying Makes Sense
The Equipment We Use to Protect Your Home
The free service collects from the doorstep. We carry from inside your home, so we protect it first.
| Job | Usual truck |
|---|---|
| One sofa, a fridge or a mattress | One tonne pickup |
| A flat or a garage | Three tonne truck |
| A full villa or a big clear out | Seven tonne truck |
These are typical sizes. We confirm the truck from your photos.
Insured, and We Repair or Replace Any Damage
Every job is fully insured. Our crew might scuff a wall, chip a door frame or mark a lift. If that happens, we repair it or replace it.
That matters when we carry heavy items through your home and shared areas.
How Our Four Step Process Works
Send photos on WhatsApp.
Send photos, your area and your preferred time.
Get your answer.
We reply with what goes free, a fixed price for the rest, and a time.
We call before we leave.
You get a call when the truck leaves our yard.
We clear and clean.
The crew carries everything out, loads the truck and sweeps before we go.

Case Studies
These were real Dubai jobs. They show loads that go beyond household furniture and appliances.
Case Study 1: Old Bed Frame and Decking Tiles
The job. In September 2026, a Dubai villa had an old bed frame and loose decking tiles waiting to go. Our crew photographed them before collection.
What it shows. The bed frame is household furniture. The decking tiles are renovation waste, which the reports on the free service do not mention.
The result. Both were collected in one visit, and the area was swept.
Case Study 2: Leftover Pavers After a Driveway Job
The job. In September 2026, a Dubai villa had a stack of interlock pavers left over from a driveway renovation. Our crew photographed it before collection.
What it shows. Pavers are heavy building material, not household furniture. The truck must be sized for weight.
The result. The pavers were loaded and removed from the villa.
