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 Milpitas: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Milpitas runs a bulky item and on-call clean-up programme for single-family households, with four free clean-ups in a rolling twelve-month period and at least eight weeks between them. A clean-up can be bags for loose material or a pickup of larger items.
The handoff matters
Single-family households in Milpitas get four free bulky item cleanups in a rolling twelve-month period, and the cleanups have to be spaced at least eight weeks apart, so the allowance is not four trips in one month. Book with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500, and expect the hauler to deliver the 1.5 cubic yard bags when that option is used. Extra clean-ups beyond the four are arranged for a fee.
