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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Indio: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Indio's bulky item programme is free and unlimited, but the published examples name sofas, chairs and refrigerators rather than a mattress.
Old sofas and chairs are the published bulky item examples, and the pickup is free with unlimited requests.
Refrigerators are named in the bulky examples, and the city also lists refrigerators and air conditioning units on its hazardous materials call line for proper handling.
Electronic waste is free through the residential pickup programme at up to four items a week, and the Desert Arc events add a free drop-off open to the whole Coachella Valley.
Indio publishes no city collection or drop-off route for renovation material, and its diversion mandate names construction sites as a stream the city has to keep out of the landfill.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere on the Indio pages, so the hauler has to confirm the machine before it goes out.
Indio provides unlimited free bulky item pickups for residential customers, capped at four items a week, arranged with the franchised hauler.
The handoff matters
The city ordinance does not allow garbage or garbage containers to be left at the curbside for more than 24 hours, and the same 24 hour rule applies to a bulky item or electronic waste set-out before its scheduled pickup. Keeping the curb clear also discourages illegal dumping.

On the free residential electronic waste pickup: Indio residents can have up to four electronic items collected weekly on the regular trash day, scheduled with Burrtec at 760-340-2113 before the items go out.

No city construction route is published. The bulky item programme covers household items such as sofas, chairs and refrigerators, and hazardous materials such as oil based paint and pesticides are refused in the curbside containers, so a renovation load needs a private container company or a receiving facility.
