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 Elk Grove: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Elk Grove residents may book three bulky waste pickups each calendar year at no charge, each covering a pile of up to five cubic yards, which the city describes as 7 by 6 by 4 feet or about a pickup bed filled even with the top of the cab. The pickup runs on the regular trash day by appointment, material goes out no more than 24 hours ahead, and an oversized pile is collected only to the first five cubic yards with a notice left on the rest.
The handoff matters
The pile goes in front of the residence on the same side of the street, no more than 24 hours before the appointment, because the city warns that setting material out sooner can bring a citation for illegal dumping and that this includes material strangers add to the pile. The maximum is 7 by 6 by 4 feet, or five cubic yards, and a resident who expects more should say so when booking so the extra can be priced instead of left behind.
Bulky waste pickup page with the three free appointments a year, the five cubic yard pile limit, the 24 hour set out rule, the acceptable and unacceptable item lists, the oversized pile consequences and the self-haul transfer station noteUse 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.

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.

Three a calendar year at no charge, each covering a pile of up to five cubic yards, which is about a pickup bed filled to the top of the cab. The pickup is booked with Republic Services at (916) 635-2500 for the regular trash day, the pile cannot go out more than 24 hours early, and a pile above the limit is collected only to five cubic yards with a notice left on the rest.Official guidance
Republic Services hauls residential waste for the city under an exclusive franchise, and it handles the curbside carts, the bulky pickups, the e-waste and sharps appointments and the used oil collection at (916) 635-2500. The city runs the Special Waste Collection Center on Disposal Lane and answers questions through its recycling and waste division.Official guidance
Weekly trash and organics collection, recycling every other week, up to three recycle and organics carts, curbside pickup of used motor oil, oil filters and batteries, e-waste and sharps pickups by appointment, three bulky item pickups a year of up to five cubic yards, one trip to the Elder Creek Transfer Station a year, holiday tree collection from December 26 through January, free household hazardous waste drop-offs at the Special Waste Collection Center and free compost twice a year.Official guidance
Yes, as part of the residential service: household batteries and used motor oil and oil filters are collected at the curb on recycling day, and the city also takes used oil filter exchange events and universal waste at the Special Waste Collection Center. Batteries are still refused in a bulky waste pile, so they go with the recycling collection rather than the junk pile.Official guidance
Holiday trees are collected from December 26 through the month of January on the organics collection day, and the pickup is included in the residential rate. The city's residential services page lists it with the rest of the curbside program, so a resident just sets the tree out with the green cart on the usual day.Official guidance
