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 Redwood City: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
A Redwood City residence gets two curbside bulky item collection appointments a calendar year at no additional charge, taken on the normal collection day. Each appointment carries one of four load shapes: twelve 32-gallon bags, one large appliance, one bulky item, or one electronic waste item.
Furniture is one of the named bulky items, and the city's own page gives a couch and a bed frame as the examples for a free bulky item collection, so a couch leaves on a scheduled appointment.
A mattress and box spring is one of the four bulky item types an appointment covers, so bedding leaves on one of the two free collections a year.
One large appliance such as a washing machine, clothes dryer or household refrigerator is one of the four loads an appointment covers, so an appliance is a distinct free option from the general bulky item.
One electronic waste item such as a computer monitor, microwave or television is accepted per appointment, and the city routes batteries, motor oil and medication to the county hazardous waste drop-off instead.
Exercise equipment is not among the four accepted load types, so the route has to be confirmed with the hauler before the machine goes out.
The handoff matters
A Redwood City bulky appointment covers one of four loads: twelve 32-gallon bags of garbage, recyclables or compost with loose material bagged, boxed or bundled, under 60 pounds each and no more than two cubic yards; one large appliance such as a washing machine, clothes dryer or household refrigerator; one bulky item such as a mattress and box spring, furniture, or four tires without rims; or one electronic waste item such as a computer monitor, microwave or television.
