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.

Cape Coral collects bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste on the same day, so bulky items go out with the regular collection rather than on a separate appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with residential collection under the city's Waste Pro contract. A move-out load is not part of the normal bulk pickup, must be scheduled, and may carry a fee.
When & how
Put the items out for the address on the normal collection day, which is also the recycling and yard waste day. Curbside service begins at 5 a.m. from May 1 to September 30 and at 6 a.m. from October 1 to April 30.
Get it ready
Place every item within three feet of the road and at least five feet from a fixed object such as a fire hydrant, mailbox, car, storm drain or utility pole. Do not stack bulk items, break cardboard down into the recycle bin, keep anything that fits a trash bin in the bin, and keep each piece light enough for two people and under 150 pounds.
Bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste are collected on the same day, so the pile goes out with the regular run. Every item sits within three feet of the road and at least five feet from a hydrant, mailbox, car, storm drain or utility pole, nothing is stacked, cardboard is broken down into the recycle bin, and anything that fits in the trash bin belongs in the bin. A single item over 150 pounds is refused, and a move-out load has to be scheduled because it is not part of the normal bulk pickup.
Curbside service starts at 5 a.m. between May 1 and September 30 and at 6 a.m. between October 1 and April 30, and carts may go out after 5 p.m. the day before. Keep three feet of clearance around every can with the wheels and handle facing the house and at least five feet from mailboxes, trees and parked cars. Extra garbage goes in plastic bags next to the can at 50 pounds or less each, extra recycling goes in an empty cardboard box marked EXTRA RECYCLE at 50 pounds or less, and a missed pickup is reported to the city 311 service after 6 p.m. on the collection day.
The bulk waste drop-off site at 1200 Kismet Parkway takes bulky waste, white goods and horticultural waste from residents only, Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the entrance off NW 14th Avenue and proof of residency possibly requested. It refuses regular garbage and recyclables, construction debris, and household chemical waste, paints and liquids. The two annual city events with Waste Pro and Lee County run from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on November 7, 2026 at the City Hall parking lot on 1015 Cultural Park Boulevard and on May 1, 2027 across from City Hall at 1020 Cultural Park Boulevard, taking chemicals, electronics, batteries, automotive oil and gas and propane tanks, with no white goods accepted.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

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?+

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?+

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.

Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
