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

Electronics are accepted only during the quarterly household hazardous waste and electronics collection events.

The handoff matters
The city runs a four day collection schedule and collects household garbage, the recycling cart, the yard waste cart and junk items on the same day between 7 am and 5 pm. Garbage has to fit inside the city-issued 65 gallon cart with the lid closed because the city does not pick up trash outside the cart, recyclables go loose in the 65 gallon recycling cart, and the 95 gallon yard waste cart takes compostable yard debris with no leaves in garbage bags and no rocks or dirt.

Loose limbs and brush too large for the yard cart may also go out for the grabber truck when the pile is under 500 pounds and under 4 cubic yards, with limbs no longer than 8 feet or heavier than 200 pounds, and that collection runs by route with a four to six week return.
