The most popular coupon ever! Sedgwick County has released its bulky waste coupon for 2019. (aka dump coupon, lol.)
Sedgwick County is once again be offering residents a coupon for FREE disposal of bulky waste up to 1,000 pounds. (Loads exceeding this limit are accepted, but will be subject to fees.) You have to haul it, but with the coupon there will be no charge for disposing of it.
Only residents of Sedgwick County are eligible for the coupons and must be prepared to haul the trash. Bulky waste includes furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics and other items that haulers aren’t able to pick up, but NOT tires, items with Freon or hazardous materials. Businesses are not eligible.
Before you toss it, check to see if it can be recycled using the recycling guide at www.sedgwickcounty.org.
When you receive the coupon in the mail, it will tell you which dumps will accept the bulky waste coupon. It looks like there is ONE location accepting the trash coupon this year:
- Waste Connections Transfer Station, 4300 W. 37th St. N., 941-4320
An online request form is available at https://ssc.sedgwickcounty.org/couponrequest/. Residents must be prepared to present their name and address online or over the phone.
Last year the coupons were mailed within one week of request. Tell your husband, kids, and anyone else who might have the mail key to check for your coupon! You sure don’t want it to accidentally be thrown out. (Almost happened at my house last year.)
Your bulky waste coupon will expire November 20, 2019.
For more information, contact Sedgwick County Environmental Resources at 660-7200.
Tip: For a major cleanup project, you need the right trash bags like these contractor bags at Amazon. Contractor bags don’t rip as easily when you load them with large, irregular, or sharp objects.

Darn, I didn’t know they were limited! Where can I find out how much it costs to dump a load?
Yeah, darn! I think they charge by the pound, and my husband says you can call them to find out how much that is. There are a few different landfills; I think the Sedgwick County site (the same one that had the coupon) has a list of them. I’ll see if I can find that link…
Here it is: https://www.sedgwickcounty.org/environment/transfer-stations/
I guess only one of the two transfer stations is currently open, and there’s a phone number on that page.
why can I not order the voucher/coupon it is saying none are available
Well, it may be possible that they’re out of coupons now. I’ll double-check and see if I can find anything out…
Okay, yes. I am seeing that they are all out of the coupons.
When should a person watch for the couple? I thought Aug it didn’t show. Then they were all gone this year and last year???
This time they seemed to go really fast. I try to watch for them beginning in late summer, and this time they released the coupon on or around August 1, if I remember correctly.
In past years it has been later (maybe September?). I don’t know anything about their planning process or how many coupons they have. I just keep an eye out for it and share when I see it!
Thanks for the info. I will be sure to check back Aug. 1. I need to do some late ‘spring’ cleaning & used one of these coupons a couple years ago. Saving that $20 is a nice benefit.
Is this a one time trip to use the coupon or can you use it several times until the limit is hit for your address?
That’s a good question, but I’m not really sure. The coupon may have more information when you receive it – we got one last year, but I honestly can’t remember what it said.
I may be able to find out, so I’ll edit the post above if I get more info!
Hi Glenda. I heard back from the folks at Sedgwick County. The coupon is good only for one trip, so you might want to find a friend with a truck if you have a small vehicle.
The good news is that it’s usually good for a few months, so you don’t have to make a run as soon as you get the coupon.
