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.

A mattress is named in the city's weekly bulky item service, which takes up to four cubic yards of large household items.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The bulky item pickup runs once a week and is part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account, covering up to four cubic yards of large household items such as furniture and mattresses.
When & how
Put the mattress out the night before or no later than 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, and call the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050 with any question about the route.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress inside the four cubic yard limit, keep junk separate from brush because the city requires the two to be separated, and do not put the item out more than 24 hours before the collection day.
Furniture is named in the same weekly bulky item service as mattresses.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is named among the large household items covered by the weekly bulky item pickup of up to four cubic yards, part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account.
When & how
Set the furniture out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the load to four cubic yards, separate it from yard waste and white goods because the city asks for junk and brush to be kept apart, and leave nothing out more than 24 hours ahead of the collection day.
White goods such as stoves, refrigerators and washers and dryers are collected weekly on their own route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. White good removal runs once a week and is part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account, with junk and brush kept separate from the white goods. The city publishes no refrigerant instruction, so confirm how a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is prepared when you call the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050.
When & how
Put the appliance out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, on its own rather than mixed into the junk or brush pile.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure any door that could trap a child, keep it separate from junk and brush as the city requires, and confirm refrigerant handling with the Solid Waste Division before a unit holding gas goes out.
The city does not collect electronics, and Lee County's Topaz Court facility takes computers, printers, scanners, televisions and monitors free.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility at 6441 Topaz Court accepts computers, printers and copiers, scanners, televisions and monitors free from county residents through a drive-through, and the county also allows those items to go curbside with regular garbage in its own programme. The city's FAQ says the city does not collect electronics while its recycling page says a special pickup has to be scheduled, so confirm the current practice with the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050.
When & how
Take the device to 6441 Topaz Court, Fort Myers, open 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of the month, or call the Solid Waste Division if you want the city to schedule a pickup.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before the device leaves your hands, and remember the county's electronics programme does not take wires and cables, keyboards and mice, remote controls, modems and routers, microwaves and toaster ovens, corded vacuum cleaners, solar panels or satellite dishes.
The city's bulky route is for large household items, and Lee County requires construction debris to be diverted and sorts it at its own facility.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate covers a renovation load: the bulky route takes large household items rather than project debris, and Lee County sorts construction and demolition material at its own facility with private recyclers also available, so confirm the receiving site, the diversion requirement and the scale charge before hauling.
When & how
Arrange the receiving facility or recycler before the work starts, and keep construction material off the city's bulky, yard waste and white good piles.
Get it ready
Separate wood, concrete, metal and plastic so the county's sorting facility can divert them, keep landscaping wood and stone out of the yard waste pile because the city refuses them there, and keep paint and chemicals on the county's household chemical route.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's lists, so the machine has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Division.
City cost & eligibility
No city or county list names an exercise machine, so call the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050 and confirm whether the machine counts toward the weekly four cubic yard bulky allowance, and mention its size and whether the crew can handle it.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division before setting the machine out, and use the weekly bulky collection only once it is confirmed.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine inside the four cubic yard limit.
The weekly round takes four cubic yards of large household items, ten cubic yards of yard waste and a separate white good pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly bulky item pickup of up to four cubic yards, the weekly yard waste pickup of up to ten cubic yards and the weekly white good removal are all part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account. Piles above the yard waste limit require an additional fee, and extra trash capacity or an extra one-time pickup is available on request.
When & how
Put everything out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, and keep the piles separated because the city asks for junk, brush and white goods to be handled separately.
Get it ready
Keep the bulky pile to four cubic yards and the yard waste pile to ten cubic yards, cut limbs to four feet long and four inches in diameter except palm fronds, bag small yard material in recyclable paper bags, keep stones and landscaping wood out of the yard pile, and do not put anything out more than 24 hours in advance.
The weekly piles go out the night before and stay separated
Everything goes out the night before or no later than 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, and the piles stay separated: up to four cubic yards of bulky large household items, up to ten cubic yards of yard waste and a separate white good pile, because the city asks for junk and brush to be kept apart. Limbs have to be cut to four feet long and four inches in diameter except palm fronds, small yard material goes in recyclable paper bags, and nothing goes out more than 24 hours before the collection day.
Chemicals, electronics and rechargeable batteries go to the county
The city does not collect household chemicals or electronics. Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility at 6441 Topaz Court takes chemicals, paint, propane tanks, rechargeable batteries, computers, printers, scanners, televisions and monitors free from county residents through a drive-through, and it also hosts a reuse center that offers latex paint and household chemicals back to residents at no charge. No batteries belong in the recycling cart.
The city's bulky, yard waste and white good piles are for household material, and the yard waste rules refuse landscaping wood and stone. Lee County's Recycling Ordinance 07-25 requires contractors and homeowners to divert construction and demolition debris, and the county's own facility sorts wood, concrete, metal and plastic for recycling, with private recyclers also available.
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.
