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.

Bulk junk removal in Lake Elsinore: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Bulky items in Lake Elsinore are things that cannot fit in the automated containers and that a two-person crew can handle, such as a chair, a couch, washers, dryers or sofas. Each residential customer gets two free pickups of up to two items each in a calendar year.
The handoff matters
Carts go to the curb no later than 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, side by side about one foot apart and at least three feet from any obstruction such as a car, a fire hydrant or a tree, with the handles and wheels facing the home. Containers come back in within 12 hours of service, and anything not inside a container is not collected. The black container is refuse, the grey one is recyclables and the green one is green and yard waste, and service shifts by a day for the remainder of any week with a holiday in it.

Each residential customer gets two pickups of up to two items each free in a calendar year, and the definition matters as much as the count, because a bulky item is something a two-person crew can handle. Additional pickups beyond the allowance are provided for a nominal charge.
