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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Union City: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Union City single-family households with individual cart service get two bulky item collections a year at no additional cost, each limited to four cubic yards and scheduled with Republic Services.
The handoff matters
A single-family household books one of its two free bulky item collections with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, and the collection is set within 21 days with a confirmation postcard mailed out. Items go to the curb the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day, because a pile set out early can collect extra or prohibited material and may then be refused. If the truck passes without collecting it, the household calls again to reschedule and moves the material out of public view in the meantime.
City bulky item collection page with the two annual free collections, the scheduling window and postcard, the set-out timing, the four cubic yard limit, the acceptable and prohibited item lists and the multi-family routeEach collection is capped at four cubic yards, described as six feet wide by six feet long by three feet high, and one major household appliance goes out per collection with doors or lids secured or removed. Loose items must be bagged or boxed, branches and prunings must be tied in bundles no longer than five feet or six inches across, and up to four passenger car tires are allowed. Items over 150 pounds are refused except furniture and appliances, and paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, car batteries, medical waste, painted wood, construction and demolition debris, rocks, bricks, dirt and concrete are all prohibited.
