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 local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Opelika: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Opelika calls oversized household material trash rather than bulk, and the definition covers limbs, grass clippings, furniture, appliances, metal objects and other non-hazardous material. Trash runs weekly on the same day as the garbage cart, with a limit of five cubic yards a week.
The handoff matters
Bagged household waste belongs in the 95-gallon cart, and everything else the city hauls is trash: limbs, grass clippings, furniture, appliances, metal objects and other non-hazardous material. Trash goes out on the same day as the garbage cart and is handled by the knuckle-boom trucks, so a couch or a mattress never belongs in the cart and garbage never belongs in the trash pile.

Anything loose enough to blow away or wash down a storm drain has to be bagged or boxed, and styrofoam always has to be bagged. The garbage cart itself goes out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day and comes back to the house the same day, or a 10 dollar service fee applies.

Larger trimmings and stumps have to be quoted by calling Environmental Services, tree trimmings are only collected within 100 feet of the house and in the maintained part of the yard, and material left by a tree company is the company's responsibility, which is why tree crews have to carry a business license and haul their own debris.
