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 Waterbury: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Waterbury allows each household two free dumps of bulky waste a year at the Mark Lane transfer facility, pickup truck size loads, and charges by weight after that. Couches, large furniture, residential construction material and carpet are all on the bulky waste list.
Couches and large furniture items are named on the bulky waste list for the Mark Lane transfer facility, so a couch moves inside one of the two free bulky dumps a household gets each year.
Waterbury recycles clean, dry mattresses separately from bulk waste at the transfer facility, and a mattress or box spring is charged per piece whether it is clean or not.
Appliances count as a resident's own bulky waste at the transfer facility, where the city allows tenants in multi-family homes to dump their own furniture, bedding and appliances inside the free bulky allowance.
A cooling appliance is not named on the transfer facility's accepted list, which names couches, mattresses, large furniture, residential construction material, carpet and specific metals, so the route and the refrigerant handling have to be confirmed.
The city accepts electronics at the Mark Lane transfer facility year round and names Take 2, Inc as a second year-round option, with an annual autumn drop-off event as well.
Residential construction materials and carpet are on the transfer facility's bulky waste list, so a household renovation load fits the free bulky allowance, while concrete, stone and brick are refused outright.
Exercise equipment is not named on the transfer facility's accepted lists, so the machine has to be confirmed against the bulky waste allowance before it is loaded.
The handoff matters
The Mark Lane transfer facility takes loads Tuesday through Saturday from 7 am with the vehicle on the scale by 2:30 pm from March 1 to November 30, and Monday through Friday on the same hours from December 1 through February. Each household has two free bulky waste dumps and four free yard waste dumps a year as pickup truck size loads, extra weight is charged at the published rate, and yard waste has to arrive in compostable bags with brush cut and tied under four inches in diameter and no longer than six feet. Household trash, paint, hazardous waste, concrete, stone, brick, propane tanks and car batteries are refused.
Mark Lane transfer facility accepted items, allowances and ratesBureau of Refuse services, bin price and contactsElectronics recycling at the Mark Lane transfer facilityThe bulky and yard waste allowances belong to the household, not to each person living there, and a tenant in a multi-family home may only dump their own property such as furniture, bedding and appliances, never the landlord's building material or yard waste. A landlord who lives in the multi-family home with a Waterbury driver's licence gets two free dumps for that one building. Replacement trash bins are sold by the city and can be ordered at (203) 756-7365 or bought at the Mark Lane facility.

Two free dumps of bulky waste and four free dumps of yard waste each year, as pickup truck size loads, and the allowance belongs to the household rather than to each person living there. Anything beyond that is charged by weight on the facility's published scale. Take loads to the Mark Lane transfer facility, 220 Mark Lane, with the vehicle on the scale by 2:30 pm.Official guidance
To the Mark Lane transfer facility at 220 Mark Lane, where couches and large furniture items are part of the bulky waste list.

The transfer facility charges a mattress or box spring per piece, and the facility publishes that figure on its fee list.

Propane tanks and car batteries are refused, and propane cylinders up to 20 pounds are taken as scrap metal when you bring them to a staff member's attention.Official guidance
