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.
You want to know it is handled.
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 few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
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 and containers
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.
Furniture and other larger items
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.

The weekly curbside program takes heavy trash: large yard waste, furniture and material from minor household projects such as cabinets or toilets, as long as the pile stays inside the City's size limits.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Heavy trash at homes receiving City collection on the assigned weekly collection day. The City publishes no separate heavy trash charge and asks for no advance call for material that meets the pile limits.
When & how
Heavy trash moves with the same weekly collection as the carts. Bagged grass clippings are collected at the curb when they are set clear of obstacles.
Get it ready
A pile, including brush, may not exceed four feet high, ten feet long and five feet deep. Put it no more than two feet from the street's edge and about five feet from mailboxes, utility poles, fences and parked cars, keep it clear of low limbs, utility lines and water meters, and expect an oversized pile to be left for the resident to dispose of.
The City's heavy trash description names furniture and material from minor household projects but does not list mattresses, so a mattress needs a call before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no mattress rule and no mattress charge. Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 to confirm that a mattress will be collected with the heavy trash before you set it out.
When & how
Confirm the mattress with the Solid Waste and Recycling office, then place it with the heavy trash pile on the collection day, inside the four foot by ten foot by five foot pile limit.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage cart and off the top of the pile. A pile that exceeds the published dimensions is left for the resident to dispose of, so build the pile around the size it will actually be.
The City publishes no white good or appliance rule and does not name appliances in its heavy trash description, so an appliance needs a call before it leaves the property.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no appliance acceptance rule and no appliance rate, and the landfill page describes construction and demolition waste rather than appliances. Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 to confirm the item and the route, including whether a cooling appliance needs anything done to it first.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 before an appliance goes to the curb, and do not set it out with the heavy trash until that call has confirmed the collection.
Get it ready
Leave the appliance whole rather than breaking it apart at the curb, and keep refrigerant, oil and other chemicals out of the garbage cart. City code makes it unlawful to place hazardous waste, medical waste or other dangerous substances in a cart or dumpster.
The City does not collect construction debris, and contractors are responsible for disposing of the construction and demolition debris their projects generate.
City cost & eligibility
The City states plainly that it does not collect construction debris and that this is not a service it provides. Project material has to move through the contractor, a private container, or a self hauled load to the city landfill, which charges published tipping fees instead of a collection charge.
When & how
Nothing from a project goes out with the weekly collection, so arrange disposal with the contractor or haul the material to the landfill during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, brick, block, shingles, tile, drywall and demolition material out of the garbage cart and off the heavy trash pile. The city code definition of trash covers building materials such as lumber, bricks, cement blocks, shingles and wire, and it is not part of the curbside program.
City code asks for carts at the curb or alley by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day, within two feet of the curb and at least three feet from other objects, with the handle facing away from the street. One section of the City's residential page states 6:00 a.m., so setting out by the earlier time covers both, and carts come in within 24 hours after they are emptied.
A pile, including brush, cannot exceed four feet high, ten feet long and five feet deep. Put it within two feet of the street's edge and about five feet from obstacles, keep it away from limbs, lines and water meters, and expect an oversized pile to be left for the resident to dispose of.
The City does not collect construction debris and says contractors handle what their projects generate. Liquids, paints and other hazardous materials are not collected at the curb, and hazardous waste, medical waste and other dangerous substances cannot go in the carts.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
