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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Huntsville: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Huntsville collects bulk waste weekly from single-family homes. The ordinance defines it as large auto parts, tires, furniture, large crates, piles of limbs or yard waste, or anything that cannot be containerized, and the city tells residents to put boxes, household items, tree limbs and junk at the curb.
Furniture is named in the city's definition of bulk waste and in the curbside list of items to put out for collection, so a couch, table, dresser or bed frame goes out with the weekly bulk route rather than into the cart.
White goods such as refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, clothes washers, clothes dryers and other large appliances are collected weekly with bulk waste. The curbside rules also tell residents to put electrical appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and microwaves on the curb.
Televisions, laptops, cellphones and other electronics are not collected at the curb and are not accepted in the recycling cart. They go to the Solid Waste Disposal Authority's drive-through household hazardous waste collection facility on A Cleaner Way.
The city does not collect construction and demolition debris that is not containerized, and it refuses material from commercial work, contractor work or work that needed a building permit. A homeowner's own building material can go to the curb only when it is in a container and no contractor is involved.
Huntsville does not name exercise equipment in its curbside list or its bulk waste definition, so a treadmill, elliptical or weight bench is not covered by a published item rule. The definition does cover waste that cannot be containerized, and the city tells residents to confirm before anything unusual goes out.
Huntsville does not name mattresses in its curbside list or publish a mattress rule or rate. The city's bulk waste definition covers waste that cannot be containerized and its curbside list names furniture and household items, so a mattress may qualify, but the route has to be confirmed before it goes out.
The handoff matters
Garbage carts, bulk items and yard waste go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day. The city code bars putting containers out before sundown the day before collection, bars leaving them out after the collection day, and requires them in place before the work day begins.
Curbside collection rules, acceptable items and residential feesChapter 22 solid waste definitions, collection rules, exclusions and residential chargesCarts sit no more than two feet from the curb with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street, and at least five feet from mailboxes, utility poles, flower beds, fences, parked cars and other obstacles. The trucks are automated, so blocked carts are left behind and crews do not return for them.
Curbside collection rules, acceptable items and residential feesBulk waste, white goods and loose yard waste go between the sidewalk and the curb, or in another accessible place the Sanitation Division approves. Tree limbs are cut to five feet with protruding branches trimmed, and the pile stays neat so it does not block the sidewalk, traffic or water flow.
Chapter 22 solid waste definitions, collection rules, exclusions and residential chargesThere is no residential collection on the listed city holidays, and when a holiday falls on a weekday the rest of that week runs one day late, with the Monday route moving to Tuesday. Leave the cart at the curb until it is collected, and check the recycling schedule separately because it uses a different holiday list.
Residential collection schedule and 2026 holiday delaysThe city code makes it unlawful to set out an icebox, refrigerator or similar container large enough to enclose a person without first removing the door, the latching device or the snaplock. Take the door off before the appliance reaches the curb.
Chapter 22 solid waste definitions, collection rules, exclusions and residential chargesCart contents are limited to household garbage. Paint, chemicals, solvents, dead animals, rocks, dirt, construction debris and medical or biological waste are refused, and crews will not return for a cart that was set out late, blocked or holding unauthorized material.
Curbside collection rules, acceptable items and residential feesUse 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.

The city code defines bulk waste as large auto parts, tires, furniture, large crates, large piles of tree limbs or yard waste, or any waste that cannot be containerized, and the curbside rules tell residents to place boxes, furniture, appliances, household items, tree limbs, junk and yard waste out for collection.Official guidance

Yes. Furniture is part of the city's bulk waste definition and the curbside rules list furniture among the items to place out for trash collection. It rides the weekly bulk route, so set it between the sidewalk and the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day.Official guidance
The city's item guide lists furniture under donations and reuse and names a rescue mission and a thrift store as examples. Call the charity first to confirm it is taking the piece, since donation acceptance is set by the charity rather than by the city.Official guidance
The code defines white goods as refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, clothes washers, clothes dryers and other large appliances, and the curbside rules say electrical appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and microwaves go on the curb for collection.Official guidance
The city's item guide says the Huntsville Landfill accepts appliances for a fee and recycles them through an outside contractor, and it also points to retailer take-back programs.

Not if it is loose, and not if it came from commercial work, a contractor or a job that needed a building permit.

Call the Sanitation Division at 256-883-3964 to arrange a special collection. The code allows it for authorized waste that is not containerized or bundled, including building debris from a homeowner that is not commercial or general contractor work, and the fee is billed on top of the monthly rate. Material from replacing a driveway or concrete slab is not included.Official guidance
Huntsville does not list exercise equipment among the items it collects, so treat it as an unconfirmed bulk item.

The city's item guide names the Huntsville Landfill only for appliances, and it publishes no mattress route, address or rate, so there is no published drop-off for a mattress in the material read for this guide.
