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.

Mattresses and box springs are on the qualifying item list for the city's 10/4 bulky item programme, which gives four free collections a year with up to ten items each.
Furniture, bed frames, headboards and footboards are named on the qualifying list for the 10/4 bulky item programme.
The bulky programme carries the longest appliance list in the packet, from ovens and range hoods to refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, washers, dryers and microwaves.
Televisions, monitors, computers and other circuit board items are accepted at the County of Orange household hazardous waste centre, which is free to county residents, because universal waste is refused in the bulky programme.
Remodeling items and construction and demolition waste are refused in the bulky item programme, and Fountain Valley publishes no city curbside or drop-off route for renovation material.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere on the Fountain Valley pages, so the hauler has to confirm the machine before it goes out.
Fountain Valley's 10/4 programme gives residents four free bulky item collections a year with up to ten large items in each.
The handoff matters
Trash, recycling and green waste carts go to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day and are stored out of public view by 9:00 p.m. that day. Collection can happen any time between 7 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., so an early or late truck on the street is normal.

Single family homes and many condos and townhomes use individual wheeled carts emptied once a week, multi-family properties with two to four dwelling units may use either residential cart or commercial bin service, and multi-family properties with five or more units and all other commercial properties have to use commercial bin service. The carts and bins belong to Republic Services and stay with the property.

To a County of Orange household hazardous waste collection centre, which is free to county residents and takes consumer electronics including televisions, monitors, computers, keyboards, phones and games. The closest is at Gate 6 of Republic Services, 17121 Nichols Street in Huntington Beach, open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Universal waste is refused in the city's bulky item programme, so electronics never go out with a bulky load.Official guidance
No. Remodeling items such as intact vanity cabinets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, windows and doors are refused in the bulky item programme, cast iron tubs are refused, and construction and demolition waste is not accepted at all. The city publishes no curbside or drop-off route for renovation material, so a project needs a private container company or a receiving facility, while paint and chemicals go to a county household hazardous waste centre.Official guidance
Exercise equipment is not named on the qualifying or refused lists for the bulky item programme. Because pool equipment is accepted as a qualifying item while construction material is refused, the answer depends on the machine, so call Republic Services at (714) 847-3581 with the type and weight before booking a collection.Official guidance
