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

Bulk junk removal in Madera: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Madera runs one citywide curbside cleanup a year for excess trash, rubbish and bulky items that normal weekly service will not take, and single-family homes inside the city limits are the households that qualify.
Furniture is part of the annual curbside cleanup and it is also named in the hauler's bulky item service list, so a couch or sofa leaves on the cleanup pile or on an ordered pickup.
Mattresses are sorted as their own group in the annual curbside cleanup and they are named in the hauler's bulky item service list, so either route takes one.
Appliances are sorted as their own group in the annual curbside cleanup and they are named in the hauler's bulky item service list, but they never belong in a cart.
Electronics are sorted as their own group in the annual curbside cleanup, they can be dropped at the Fairmead Landfill, and a television or computer monitor is accepted there free of charge.
Construction and demolition material is refused in the carts and on the cleanup pile, so a project load moves through an authorized roll-off container instead.
The handoff matters
The annual curbside cleanup takes one pile per single-family home inside the city limits, no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet and roughly one truckload. Put it out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, at least six inches back from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear, and bag or box anything loose.
Annual residential curbside cleanup page with eligibility, pile limits, placement and sorting rules, the ineligible item list and the published zone datesThe city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash rather than mixing them into one heap. Sorting is what lets the crew and the recycling routes handle each group, and it is also why a mattress and an appliance should not end up buried under loose rubbish.
Annual residential curbside cleanup page with eligibility, pile limits, placement and sorting rules, the ineligible item list and the published zone datesTires, batteries and items containing batteries, paint and liquids, propane tanks, needles, dirt and rock, 50-gallon drums, items over four feet long and items over 150 pounds are all refused in the cleanup. Anything refused is left at the curb and has to be removed by the resident within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date, so keep those out of the pile in the first place.

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review 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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
It is an annual spring event that moves through two zones. The 2026 window ran from February 16 to 27 in Zone 1 and March 2 to 13 in Zone 2. The city says a flyer with the scheduled day for each area arrives in the utility bill, and zone maps go up at least one week before service starts in an area.Official guidance
Single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. The city excludes unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses, so an apartment resident has to ask the property manager or order a pickup from the hauler instead.Official guidance
No larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, roughly one truckload, and it goes at least six inches away from the curb so it does not block sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes or fire hydrants. Loose debris has to be bagged or boxed, and the city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash.Official guidance
Lawnmowers and two-stroke motors, auto parts, construction and demolition material, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, flammable or hazardous material, pool chemicals, pesticides, propane tanks and compressed cylinders, needles and medical waste, paint and paint products, liquids, all batteries and anything containing a battery, dirt, rock, sod and asphalt, 50-gallon drums, tires, and anything over four feet long or 150 pounds. The city leaves ineligible items at the curb and the resident has to remove them within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date.Official guidance
Yes. The cleanup is for excess trash, rubbish and bulky items that weekly service will not take, and it covers single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. Set the couch out with the rest of the pile, keep the pile within 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, and separate it from the appliances, mattresses and electronics.Official guidance
Yes. Mid Valley Disposal offers bulky item collection as a temporary service for appliances, couches, mattresses, electronic waste, tires and bagged trash. Submit the bulky pick-up request and a representative contacts you during business hours Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and submits a job order, so the amount is quoted at that point.Official guidance
The city asks residents to sort mattresses into their own group alongside debris, appliances, electronics, green waste and general trash, and the crew collects them during the annual spring cleanup for single-family homes inside the city limits.Official guidance
Order a bulky item pickup from Mid Valley Disposal, which lists mattresses among the items it collects as a temporary service and quotes the pickup when a representative contacts you at 559-237-9425. The county landfill publishes its address and hours but no accepted mattress list and no gate rate, so do not assume that route without confirming it at 559-665-1310 first.Official guidance
Yes. The city asks residents to sort appliances into their own group in the cleanup pile, and appliances are also listed among the items Mid Valley Disposal collects in its bulky item temporary service. They never belong in the gray garbage cart.Official guidance
The household hazardous waste facility at the Fairmead Landfill takes items such as old paint, batteries, fluorescent lights, thermometers, waste oil and gasoline, and it runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for county residents. An appliance belongs on the cleanup pile or on an ordered pickup rather than at that window.Official guidance
The Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19 in Chowchilla accepts televisions and computer monitors free of charge. The city notes that these devices can contain mercury paste, gas and leaded glass, which is why they are handled as household hazardous waste rather than as trash.Official guidance
Not in a cart, because Mid Valley Disposal lists electronic waste among the items that must not be placed in the containers and the city's guide puts electronics in the not allowed in any cart group. Electronics are collected in the annual curbside cleanup when they are sorted into their own group, or dropped at the landfill.Official guidance
Not through the carts, because Mid Valley Disposal lists construction and demolition waste among the items that must not go in a container, and not through the curbside cleanup, which excludes construction and demolition material by name. The load moves through a roll-off bin ordered from the authorized franchise hauler.Official guidance
Certain projects do. The City of Madera Municipal Code section 5-3.30 on construction and demolition debris recycling requires certain projects to recycle or reuse at least 65 percent of the debris they generate, and it was adopted to keep those materials out of the landfill as required by AB 939 and the California Green Building Code.Official guidance

Residential service changes are handled by the City at 559-661-5406, option 4, and billing questions go to City Utility Billing at 559-661-5459.Official guidance
The City Council adopts the solid waste and street sweeping rates. Resolution 22-103 set a five year schedule effective August 1, 2022, and its attachment lists the three standard residential containers at $49.31 a month as a maximum in the fiscal year 2026/27 column, noting that the later columns are maximum rates that may be adjusted by future Council action. City Utility Billing at 559-661-5459 confirms the amount billed on the account.Official guidance
No. The citywide curbside cleanup is limited to single-family homes inside the Madera city limits and it excludes unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses. Mid Valley Disposal still handles residential and commercial collection, so an apartment resident can ask the property manager or order a bulky item pickup from the hauler.Official guidance
Tires are refused in the curbside cleanup and the city's guide puts them in the not allowed in any cart group. The guide lists free waste tire recycling events on selected dates and a tire cleanup line for tires left in the public right of way, and Mid Valley Disposal lists tires among the items it collects through a bulky item pickup, which is quoted on contact.Official guidance
The Fairmead Landfill site hosts the county household hazardous waste facility, open to Madera County residents on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with businesses served by appointment.
