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.

Furniture is on the city's acceptable bulky waste list, so a couch goes out with the weekly bulky collection inside the two item allowance. The request has to reach the city 72 hours ahead and the combined weight of the two items has to stay under 100 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk waste pickup is included in the mandatory residential sanitation account, which is billed quarterly in advance, for up to two items a week with a combined weight under 100 pounds. The hauler charges its reasonable rate for a load above that weight.
When & how
Request the pickup at least 72 hours in advance through the city bulky waste form, and have the items at the curb no later than 7 am on the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and manageable, keep the pair of items under the combined weight limit so no extra hauler charge applies, and keep sinks, toilets, fencing and anything attached to the house out of the request because those are refused.
The weekly bulky allowance takes household clutter beyond the cart, including twenty flattened boxes, six pieces of wood up to six feet long and Christmas trees, as long as the request is in 72 hours ahead and the two items stay under a combined 100 pounds. Garbage, recycling and yard waste run weekly on the same account, with collections maintained on all holidays except New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the mandatory residential sanitation account, which is billed quarterly in advance and carries a five percent discount when the full year is paid in advance by July 1.
When & how
Garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky waste are collected weekly, with everything at the curb by 7 am on the scheduled day. A pickup falling on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas, or a later day that week, moves to the following day.
Get it ready
Flatten boxes before they go out, cut wood to pieces no longer than six feet, and keep the pair of bulky items under the combined weight limit. Missed collections are normally serviced the next day, and a household that is still missed can file the city report form and call 678-297-6060 if there is no response within 24 hours.
Bulky waste pickup is included in the sanitation account but is not automatic, so the request goes to the city through the bulky waste form at least 72 hours before the collection. The allowance is two items a week with a combined weight under 100 pounds, and the hauler charges its own reasonable rate when a load is heavier than that.
Garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky waste are all collected weekly on the same account, and material goes to the curb no later than 7 am on the scheduled collection day. If a pickup falls on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas, or on a later day in that same week, the collection moves to the following day, while all other holidays keep the normal schedule.
Glass and latex paint have a drop-off, electronics do not
Residents who want to recycle glass can take it to the Alpharetta Department of Public Works at 1790 Hembree Road, and the same location runs a year-round latex paint recycling option. Electronics, batteries, chemicals, cylinders and propane tanks are not acceptable in the recycling cart, and household hazardous waste including electronics moves through periodic city collection events that residents are told to watch for on the city website and social media.
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.

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. 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.
