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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Ocala: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Bulky material is collected on the weekly bulk day but has to be scheduled first: the city asks residents to call the sanitation office one to two days before the collection day to arrange pickup of furniture, appliances, mattresses, large tree and landscaping debris piles and large junk piles. Charges begin once a load passes five cubic yards.
Furniture is named on the city's bulk collection list, so a couch or table is booked with the sanitation office a day or two before the weekly bulk day and is collected by the city rather than put out unannounced. No per-item furniture fee is published, and the billable threshold is five cubic yards.
Mattresses are named on the city's bulk collection sentence, so they are booked with the sanitation office and collected on the weekly bulk day like furniture. The city publishes no mattress-specific charge, and the same five cubic yard threshold decides whether a set is billable.
White goods are treated as a priced city service rather than a free bulky item: the rules sheet defines them as any household appliance, water heater or air-conditioning unit, collects them on request, requires the door off a refrigerator with the unit lying on its side, and the fee schedule prices the collection per appliance.
Televisions, computers, monitors, cell phones and game systems are named on the city's free hazardous and electronic waste amnesty list, which the city runs twice a year. They are never garbage items, and the city also points residents at the Marion County landfill line for a disposal question between events.
The city does not collect construction debris at all. Concrete, asphalt, rock, brick, blocks, tile, shingles and large amounts of wood have to go into a roll-off container from a private hauler or to a C and D landfill, and the city code excludes construction and demolition debris from the material it must collect.
The city sponsors two Household Tire Amnesty Days a year where residents can bring up to ten tires without rims free of charge. The city does not list tires among the items barred from the garbage cart, and the fee schedule prices waste tires that accumulate beyond five cubic yards, so ask the sanitation office where a tire belongs outside the amnesty days.
Exercise equipment is not named on any Ocala list, although the bulk sentence does cover large junk piles, so a treadmill or weight machine is confirmed with the sanitation office before it is set out. The five cubic yard threshold and the same weekly bulk day would apply if the city accepts it as a bulky set.
Household chemicals are never garbage items in Ocala. The city sponsors two free hazardous and electronic waste amnesty days a year for oil, gas, paint, thinners, fertilizers, insecticides, NiCad batteries, fluorescent bulbs, mercury, chlorine, acids, chemicals and explosives, needles go into a city sharps container, and medicine is directed to law enforcement rather than the drain.
The handoff matters
Furniture, appliances, mattresses, large tree and landscaping debris piles and large junk piles are collected on the weekly bulk day but have to be scheduled first by calling residential sanitation one to two days before the collection day. A set larger than five cubic yards becomes a billable load, with a published minimum and more depending on the size of the pile, and the city tries to warn a household before collecting a billable load without being obliged to. White goods are arranged separately because they carry their own per-appliance charge.

The city code excludes construction and demolition debris from the waste the city must collect, so it cannot be hidden in a bulky pile or the garbage cart. Private contractors are responsible for removing the waste they generate, and landscape and lawn crews may put only non-bulky grass waste from that property at the curb with the owner's permission.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Ocala.
Nothing extra is published for a bulky set below five cubic yards, which is part of the weekly collection the household already pays for. Once the pile passes five cubic yards the city bills it, with a published minimum charge and additional charges according to the size of the pile, and the fee schedule also carries bulk collection labour per quarter hour and bulk disposal per quarter truckload. The sanitation office confirms whether a specific set is billable.Official guidance

Appliances are also named on the bulk list, so the office confirms which route applies.Official guidance
