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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in McDonough: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
The city publishes one clean bulky item rule: three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each item has to weigh less than 50 pounds. The household stream itself rides in the 90-gallon cart, and the hauler will not service anything outside the carts, so the curb pile is limited to the three accepted pieces rather than an open pile.
The handoff matters
McDonough keeps the large item decision simple. The sanitation company services three bulk items on your service day, and each one has to weigh less than 50 pounds, so the count and the weight are the two things to check before anything goes to the curb. The household stream rides in the 90-gallon cart and the recycling stream in the 65-gallon cart, and the hauler will not service anything outside those carts. Carts go out by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, and the city schedule you were given when the water service started shows which day that is.

It runs on the first and third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closes for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., and is for City of McDonough residential customers only. The calendar notes that the site is closed on the Saturdays the city highlights, that city hall closes for listed holidays, and that the city may close the drop-off at any time during its published days or hours.

That covers a remodel load and a landscape load as well as bagged renovation debris. The county sends usable building materials to the Lifecycle Building Center instead, and the transfer stations it lists are not operated by the county and should be called about fees before anything is loaded.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in McDonough.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review 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.
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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included.

The city publishes the limit rather than an item list. Three bulk items are serviced by the sanitation company on your service day, and each one has to weigh less than 50 pounds, with carts and items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. The city names construction, remodeling, landscaping, dirt, concrete, carpet and padding as material it will not collect, and a missed pickup caused by the hauler is rescheduled for the following Friday only.Official guidance
The City of McDonough runs the programme and names Republic Services as the company that provides it. Every resident and business inside the city limits is required to have City sanitation service, which is billed as a monthly charge on the water bill and includes a 90-gallon household cart and a 65-gallon recycling cart. The city can be reached at 770-957-3915 and Public Works at 678-782-6272. Henry County handles the hard-to-recycle route instead and does no curbside collection of its own.Official guidance

Carts and items go to the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, and a missed pickup caused by the hauler is rescheduled for the following Friday only. Anything beyond the three items or the weight limit waits for the next week or goes to the city drop-off on the first and third Saturday of the month.Official guidance

It opens on the first and third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closes for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., and it is for City of McDonough residential customers only.
