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.

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

Walnut Creek's bulky programme runs through RecycleSmart: twice a year every single family home gets a pre-scheduled Reuse Day followed by Cleanup Day at no additional cost, and between those days a household can book one landfill on-call clean-up a year and up to four recycling or organics clean-ups.
The handoff matters
Reuse and Cleanup Days are mailed to each address about two weeks ahead and they run twice a year. On Reuse Day, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects gently used household items and donates them, which is the route for working furniture, appliances and electronics. Cleanup Day follows the next day and Republic Services takes what does not meet the Reuse Day rules to landfill, with a volume cap of two cubic yards or fourteen 32-gallon bags, no item longer than four feet or wider than 24 inches, and nothing heavier than 50 pounds, with charges possible above those limits.

One landfill clean-up a year covers up to fourteen 32-gallon bags of trash or the equivalent, and recycling or organics clean-ups are available up to four times a year when there is more material than the carts hold. Separately, items such as mattresses, non-working televisions, non-working refrigerators and large furniture are collected on-call for an added fee. All of it is booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711, and no single bag or item may weigh more than 50 pounds or run longer than four feet.
