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.
First item / additional item
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Bulk junk removal in Decatur: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

DeKalb County collects bulky household items from Decatur addresses for a fee, and it runs a separate prepaid special collection for heavier or mixed loads, with both assessed at the curb before anything is charged.
The handoff matters
DeKalb County collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day for Decatur addresses. Containers go out after 7 p.m. the night before collection, have to be curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and come back in within 24 hours of service. Collection schedules change during county-observed holidays and service can be suspended in bad weather, and the county asks residents to check the holiday schedule and the service status notices before reporting a missed pickup.
County solid waste management page naming Decatur in the service area, giving the once weekly garbage, recycling and yard trimmings schedule, the curbside set out and collection times, the bulky item and special collection programme links, the Seminole Road Landfill as the public disposal facility and the customer service contactsBulky items do not go out with the regular carts. The county lists furniture, mattresses and box springs, bathroom fixtures and appliances as fee required bulky items, and construction material, fencing, decking, tree parts, commingled piles, contractor waste and heavy cardboard as prepaid special collections. The sequence matters: the pile goes to the curb first, then the request is submitted online, by email to solidwaste@dekalbcountyga.gov with photos, or in person at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, staff assess the pile and leave an assessment form, and the fee is paid before collection.

DeKalb County does. The county's Solid Waste Management department names Decatur among the cities it serves alongside unincorporated DeKalb and several other cities, and it collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day, runs the fee based bulky item collection and the prepaid special collections, and operates the Seminole Road Landfill where tires and electronics go. Customer care is 404-294-2900 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and in-person service is at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive in Decatur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
The county treats bulky items as fee required and determines the amount with an on-site assessment after the pile is placed at the curb and the request is submitted. The published special collection table gives a general special collection minimum and a per truckload rate, with tree parts over three inches and commingled piles listed at higher minimum and per truckload figures, and the fee has to be paid before collection by online payment, check or money order or, in person, by credit card.Official guidance
Tires, which are directed to the Seminole Road Landfill at published rates by size, along with hazardous materials, concrete products, Bagster bags and liquids. The county asks residents to keep such material out of the pile, because the bulky and special collection programmes refuse it, and the landfill also refuses hazardous material at the e-recycling drop-off, where televisions and CRT monitors, appliances, alkaline batteries and liquid containing devices are not accepted.Official guidance
