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.

Waste Management collects household waste twice a week and recycling once a week on Wednesday under the city franchise, with the green lid cart for garbage and the yellow lid cart for recycling.
City cost & eligibility
Collection is part of the residential service the city arranges and the household pays for, so no per pickup price is published. The published cart charges are $70 for an additional cart and $25 for a size swap through Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
When & how
Use the address collection day, because garbage runs Tuesdays and Fridays north of Sarno Road and Mondays and Thursdays south of it, while recycling is collected citywide on Wednesday.
Get it ready
Put the carts out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring them in by 6 a.m. the next day, face the cart toward the street, keep it three feet from other carts, mailboxes, obstacles and storm drains, and store empty carts behind the front building line between collections.
Bulky items go curbside on the yard waste collection day, and the city defines them as furniture, bicycles and anything else too large to fit in the green garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
The weekly bulky collection is part of the residential service the household pays for, and no separate price is published. Confirm any specialty item and any charge with Waste Management at 321-723-4455 or the city ECO Division at 321-608-5080.
When & how
Put the item out on the yard waste collection day for the address, and call 48 hours in advance when the item is a specialty bulky item such as an appliance, electronics or tires.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items three feet away from storm drains, yard waste, carts and any other obstruction, and keep them out of the garbage and recycling carts.
Furniture is the first example on the city's bulky item list, so a couch goes to the curb on the yard waste collection day rather than in the garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture rides the weekly bulky collection that is part of the residential service, and the city publishes no separate furniture rate, so confirm any exception with Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
When & how
Set the piece out on the yard waste collection day for the address. Call the ECO Division or Waste Management 48 hours ahead if the piece is being booked as a specialty pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the couch out of the garbage and recycling carts and clear of storm drains and other obstacles, and leave it at the curb until the crew collects it.
Face the cart toward the street so the arm can reach it, put it out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring it in by 6 a.m. the next day, and leave three feet between the cart and other carts, mailboxes, obstacles and storm drains. Empty carts are stored behind the front building line between collections instead of at the curb, and the garbage cart takes garbage only while the yellow lid cart takes recycling only.
Bulky items go out on the yard waste collection day, three feet away from storm drains, yard waste, carts and other obstructions, and they never go inside the garbage or recycling cart. Appliances need the contents, liquids and the door removed, electronics need every battery taken out first, and tires are limited to four standard vehicle tires per household per year. Call the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455 at least 48 hours ahead for a specialty item.
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.

Schedule a specialty bulky pickup
A Melbourne household with an appliance, a television or computer, or up to four standard vehicle tires.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no price for a specialty bulky pickup, so confirm the item and any charge with the city ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
Arrange it
Call at least 48 hours before the collection day to schedule the pickup, or book it through the Waste Management bulk trash page that the city links.
Appliances must have contents, liquids and doors removed, electronics must have every battery taken out and delivered to the household hazardous waste center, and tires are capped at four standard vehicle tires per household per year.
Melbourne runs collection through a city franchise held by Waste Management, and the city ECO Division at 321-608-5080 is the number for questions. Household waste is collected twice a week, recycling once a week on Wednesday, and bulky items once a week on the yard waste collection day, where the city takes furniture, bicycles and anything too large for the green cart, and where appliances, electronics and tires are specialty items that need a call at least 48 hours ahead. Everything hazardous goes to Brevard County instead: the household hazardous waste center at the Sarno Landfill on Sarno Road in Melbourne takes paints, automotive fluids, garden chemicals, batteries, fluorescent lamps and electronics free from county residents, and there is a second county center in Cocoa. Construction material is the one load the hauler will not take curbside, so it goes to the Cocoa landfill at no charge to residents, into a Waste Management Bagster, or to a rolloff or a booked curbside collection.
