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.

Bulk junk removal in Porterville: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Porterville publishes no curbside bulky item pickup. Large appliances, furniture and construction debris are excluded from all three carts, and the only city drop-off that takes volume is the recycling center, which accepts the same recyclables as the blue can and refuses everything else.
Furniture is named in the city's list of waste that cannot go in any cart, and no furniture pickup or drop-off is published, so the route has to be confirmed with the Refuse Division.
The city and the Mattress Recycling Council opened a permanent mattress and box spring collection site at the Corporation Yard on North Prospect Street. It is free and open to Porterville and Tulare County residents on the third Saturday of each month.
Large appliances are named in the city's list of waste that cannot go in any cart, and no appliance pickup or drop-off is published, so the route has to be confirmed with the Refuse Division.
Electronic waste is collected at the city's monthly household hazardous waste collection at the Corporation Yard, and the blue can rules state plainly that computer monitors and television sets are never accepted in a curbside container.
Construction debris is named in the city's list of waste that cannot go in any cart, and the city publishes no construction drop-off, so a renovation load needs a private hauling arrangement or a call to the Refuse Division.
Exercise equipment is not named on any city page, and the carts exclude large items, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the Refuse Division before it is moved.
The handoff matters
Place the cart near the corner of the driveway behind the curb, at least three to five feet from a fence, mailbox, basketball hoop or another container, and make sure cars are parked three to five feet away so the truck can reach it. Keep the lid closed with all material inside, and check the zone map because each cart has its own day.
Solid waste and refuse collection zones, cart rules and excluded materialDirt, sod, rock, concrete, large appliances, furniture, hot ashes, flammable materials, oil, gasoline, paint and construction debris are all excluded from the carts, and toxic or hazardous waste is never accepted in a curbside container. The blue can page adds used oil and filters, poisons, solvents, garden chemicals, batteries, fluorescent tubes and computer monitors and television sets to that list.
