The clear-out can be finished.
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.

Charlotte County allows four cubic yards of bulk items each week, and the facility list names furniture and refuse, but a mattress is not named in the retained county pages.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no separate mattress charge. Confirm the item, the weekly allowance and any current charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste Division before set-out.
When & how
Ask Waste Management at 941-629-1106, or 941-697-0012 in the Englewood area, before putting a mattress out, then place it in front of the property on your scheduled service day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress inside the four-cubic-yard weekly allowance, in front of the property that pays the annual sanitation fee, and free of the prohibited construction debris.
Couches and household furniture are bulky items under the county's four-cubic-yard weekly curbside allowance and are named again in the facility furniture and refuse category.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no separate furniture charge. Confirm the load and any current charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste Division.
When & how
Place the furniture in front of the property on your scheduled service day. The facility route is open 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and counts toward the 12 free visits per fiscal year.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside four cubic yards per week and in front of the improved property that pays the annual sanitation fee. Material placed on a neighbouring or across-the-street property is not collected and must be removed within 24 hours.
Charlotte County picks up appliances four times a year on the scheduled service day at no charge when the resident schedules the pickup two days ahead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential improved properties in Charlotte County, scheduled with Waste Management two days before the scheduled service day, up to four appliance pickups per year.
When & how
Call Waste Management at 941-629-1106, or 941-697-0012 in the Englewood area, or use the county pickup request form two days before your scheduled service day.
Get it ready

City cost & eligibility

When & how

Renovation and home improvement debris is prohibited in the curbside bulk pile, but the Mini-Transfer facilities take it within limits and the county landfill accepts it by the ton.
City cost & eligibility
The facility page publishes no per-load charge and the landfill charges by the ton, so confirm the route, the material and the current charge before loading.
When & how
Take material to a Mini-Transfer and Recycling Facility between 8 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, or to the Charlotte County Landfill during its gate hours.
Get it ready
Break cabinets down, keep every piece under eight feet and stay within six cubic yards per fiscal year at the facilities. At the landfill, haulers must give the building permit number for the site the material came from or the load is charged at the out-of-county rate.
Exercise equipment is not named in the county bulk examples, the e-waste list or the facility furniture category, so the county has to confirm the exact machine first.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm the item acceptance, the route and any current charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste Division.
When & how
Call before set-out with the machine type and whether it has electronics, then use the service day or facility the county confirms.
Get it ready
Ask whether the machine has to be broken down, whether its electronics need the separate e-waste request, and how the pieces count toward the four-cubic-yard weekly allowance.
Residential improved properties may put out four cubic yards of unbundled yard trimmings, refuse and bulky items each week, plus ten extra prepared yard waste items.

When & how
Put the load in front of the property on the scheduled service day. Anything over the allowance is not collected and must be removed from the curb within 24 hours.
