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 local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Santa Maria: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Santa Maria answers most large items at the gate rather than at the curb. The Recycling Park at the regional landfill sorts appliances, construction and demolition material, concrete, electronic waste, mattresses, scrap metal, tires and clean wood, and general waste is charged by weight. The city also runs a bulky item pickup, arranged through the Utilities Department Solid Waste Division, and the allowance and fee for it are not published on the pages that carry the program's public terms.
The handoff matters
The Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Recycling Park sits ahead of the trash face so recyclable material can be sorted instead of buried. The city asks drivers to load in this order from the cab backwards: construction and demolition material, green waste, scrap metal, appliances, mattresses, tires, cardboard, electronic waste, organics, commingled recyclables and concrete last. State law requires recyclable and organic material to be separated from the trash before arrival, and an unsorted load can be charged the posted hard to handle rate.
Recycling Park page with the accepted material list, the load order, the separation requirement and the hard to handle rate for an unsorted loadLandfill disposal page with the 2065 East Main Street address, the Monday to Saturday hours and the holiday closure noteThe city publishes two lists of material the landfill will not bury. Recyclable material has to be sorted and taken to the Recycling Park, and it covers electronics, glass, construction and demolition debris including drywall, cement and asphalt, metals, organic waste, paper and cardboard, plastics, and the other group of whole tires, white goods and appliances, and mattresses. Hazardous material goes only to the household hazardous waste facility, and it covers automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals and cleaning products, compressed cylinders such as propane, helium and fire extinguisher tanks, fluorescent lights and mercury items, garden chemicals, paints, pool and hobby supplies, sharps and printer cartridges.
