You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.
First item / additional item
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Dothan: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Bulky items such as furniture and appliances ride with Dothan's once-a-week trash collection, which allows one pile per residence, neatly stacked at the curb rather than in the street. The city's August 2026 ordinance proposal would move bulky items to a request-only service ticket through Environmental Services, so a resident should call before building the pile.
Furniture is named in Dothan's bulk item list, so a couch, sofa, table, dresser or desk goes out with the weekly trash pile under the current rules, or through the request-based bulky route if the city adopts its August 2026 proposal.
Dothan's published bulk list names furniture and appliances but does not name mattresses or box springs, so a mattress is not covered by an item rule the city has published. The practical route is the bulky pile or a requested collection, and Environmental Services has to confirm that a mattress is accepted before it goes out.
Appliances are named in Dothan's bulk item list, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven or air conditioner goes out with the weekly trash pile under the current rules rather than into the green cart. No separate appliance fee is published, and the city's August 2026 proposal does not carve appliances out of the bulky route.
Exercise equipment is not named in Dothan's bulk item list, the city's recycling lists or the ordinance revision presentation, so a treadmill, weight bench or home gym is not covered by a published item rule and has to be confirmed with Environmental Services.
The handoff matters
Garbage goes in the city-issued green cart, bagged, with the lid closed and the arrows on the lid facing the street. Carts are out before 6:00 AM on the collection day. Items left outside the cart are not collected, overfilled or badly placed carts are not serviced, and each residence is issued one 95-gallon cart, with a second cart available for a fee billed to the utility account. Paperwork is handled by Environmental Services at 281 Complex Drive, Suite 1, by phone at (334) 615-3820.

Stack it neatly at the curb rather than in the street, leave room for the boom truck, and keep the pile clear of hydrants, utility poles, signposts, mailboxes, water meters and transformers. Limbs are limited to 5 feet long, green waste is stacked separately from bulky items, and a pile the crew judges excessively large may be left behind.

The ordinance revision package presented on August 4, 2026 would extend that list to building materials except minor owner repairs, contractor-generated debris, landscape debris, dirt, rocks, concrete and bricks, tires and vehicle parts, eviction and move-out debris and estate clean-outs, and hazardous refuse, all of which the owner or producer would have to remove at their own expense. The same package proposes a minimum fee for collecting noncompliant material.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Dothan.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items.

The city's current pages treat bulky items as part of the once-a-week trash collection with one pile per residence. The ordinance revision package presented to the City Commission on August 4, 2026 proposes that bulky items be collected only on request, with residents contacting Environmental Services to create a service ticket. Call (334) 615-3820 and follow whichever rule the city confirms for your address.Official guidance
No. The green cart takes bagged household waste only, and items left outside it are not collected. A couch is a bulky item, so it belongs in the curbside trash pile, neatly stacked and kept out of the street, or in the request-based bulky collection if the city requires one for your address.Official guidance
There is no mattress programme published on the city's pages, and mattresses are not on the recycling list. Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 and confirm that a mattress is accepted in the curbside bulky pile for your address, then place it out with the pile rather than in the green cart.Official guidance
Appliances are named as bulky items in the city's trash guidance, so they go out with the curbside pile rather than in the green cart. The city publishes no separate appliance price, and it asks residents to keep the pile neatly stacked and clear of the street, hydrants and poles.Official guidance
Exercise equipment is not on the city's published bulky item list, so it is not covered by a standing rule. Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 with the machine type and ask whether it will be collected as a bulky item and whether a service ticket is needed first.Official guidance
Bulky items ride with the residential solid waste account, which the city bills monthly, and no separate pile price is published. Public Works and Finance presented an ordinance revision package on August 4, 2026 that would raise that monthly charge, add a fee for a second garbage cart, move bulky items to a call-in service ticket and stop curbside recycling pickup while keeping the drop-off centres, so ask Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 for the current figure. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total at checkout.Official guidance
Environmental Services at 281 Complex Drive, Suite 1 handles residential garbage, trash and recycling questions, missed collections, additional carts and the city landfill, at (334) 615-3820 or publicworks@dothan.org. The office is open Monday to Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Friday crews handle missed collections only.Official guidance
The city publishes a holiday sanitation schedule because garbage, trash and recycling days are often affected. In the 2026 calendar, Juneteenth on Friday June 19 and Independence Day on Friday July 3 are regular schedule weeks, while Thanksgiving week from November 23 and Christmas week from December 21 shift Monday and Tuesday pickups to the Monday, Wednesday to the Tuesday and Thursday to the Wednesday, and no recycling is collected in either of those weeks.Official guidance
Recycling is voluntary and limited to cardboard, mixed paper, plastics 1 through 5, aluminum beverage cans and steel cans, placed loose rather than bagged. Carpet, furniture, electronics, glass of any kind, Styrofoam, yard waste, needles and hazardous material are prohibited, and the city sends those prohibited items to the municipal landfill on Burkett Road for special handling instead.Official guidance
