Finish clearing the space
The last few things still deserve a pickup.
You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.

The clear-out can be finished.
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.
You want to know it is handled.
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 few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
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 and containers
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.
Furniture and other larger items
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.

A mattress is named in the hauler's bulky item examples, and the bulky route is drop-off at the named transfer stations or the authority site rather than a published curbside collection.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler publishes no bulky drop-off rate, so confirm the charge and the receiving site before loading the mattress.

Take the mattress to the Auburn Transfer Station, the Meadow Vista Transfer Station, the Foresthill Transfer Station or the authority's Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln.

Keep construction material out of the curbside bins and out of the bulky drop-off categories, and separate material types so the facility can process them.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky examples or the electronic waste list, so the receiving site has to confirm the machine.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine, so confirm the item and the charge with the hauler at 530-885-3735 or with the authority facility before you load.
When & how
Call before the trip with the machine type and size, then take it to whichever site confirms it will accept the load.

Use a bulky item drop-off site
Households with furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, metal items, textiles, carpet and padding or other large pieces that do not fit the bins.
Cost & conditions
No bulky drop-off rate is published by the hauler or the authority, so confirm the charge for the load at the receiving site before travelling.
Arrange it
Take the load to the Auburn Transfer Station at 12305 Shale Ridge Road, the Meadow Vista or Foresthill transfer station, or the authority facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln, and confirm hours first.
Drop-off rather than a kerbside bulky collection, small loose items must be boxed or bagged, and hazardous waste and construction material stay on their own routes.
Rocklin's waste collection is provided by Recology Auburn Placer, and the regional facility belongs to the Western Placer Waste Management Authority. Two routes matter for a clean-out. First, the free curbside pickup Rocklin offers by appointment for batteries, electronic waste, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, fats, oils and grease, and motor oil and filters, which is not available in all areas and requires a booking at 530-885-3735. Second, the bulky drop-off: furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, metal, textiles, carpet and padding go to the Auburn Transfer Station at 12305 Shale Ridge Road, the Meadow Vista or Foresthill transfer station, or the authority's Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln, with usable pieces better donated. Household hazardous waste is free at the same authority facility daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., since state law forbids putting paint, chemicals, batteries or electronics in the trash, and construction and demolition material is processed at the facility rather than collected at the kerb.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
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.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
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.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
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.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
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.
