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.

SBC collects one bulk item a week at no additional charge, with the item placed next to the carts no earlier than the evening before collection day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Berwyn residential customers on the SBC service, with one bulk item collected each week at no additional charge as part of the standard service.
When & how
Put the item next to the SBC carts no earlier than the evening before the collection day, with everything in the alley by 6 a.m., and note that collections run Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and shift one day later when a holiday falls Sunday through Friday.
Get it ready
Keep the item within what one person can reasonably manage and inside the published limits, and use a special collection for anything larger: SBC asks residents to send a picture to 312-522-1115 or Berwyn@SBCwastesolutions.com for items that do not meet the bulk or construction guidelines.
Tables and chairs are named in the weekly bulk item examples, so furniture uses the free weekly bulk collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Berwyn residential customers on the SBC service, with one bulk item collected each week at no additional charge.
When & how
Put the furniture next to the SBC carts no earlier than the evening before the collection day and have it in the alley by 6 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the bulk guidelines so one person can manage it, and book a special collection if the load is larger, because SBC asks for a picture and a call before a special collection is arranged.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the weekly bulk item examples, and a mattress must be secured in a plastic cover before collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Berwyn residential customers on the SBC service, with one bulk item collected each week at no additional charge and a mattress or box spring counted as that item.
When & how
Secure the mattress or box spring in a plastic mattress cover and put it next to the SBC carts no earlier than the evening before the collection day, in the alley by 6 a.m.
Get it ready
The hauler requires the cover for health and safety reasons and notes that mattress covers are sold at hardware stores and other retailers, so buy the cover before the collection day. A second mattress in the same week needs a special collection.
SBC schedules free appliance collections covering air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, microwave ovens, washing machines, dryers and water heaters.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Berwyn residential customers, with the city and the hauler both describing appliance collection as free and arranged with SBC.
When & how
Call SBC on 312-522-1115 or email Berwyn@SBCwastesolutions.com to schedule the appliance collection, and put the unit where the hauler directs on the arranged day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure or remove the doors, and keep the appliance out of the regular garbage cart, since the city lists appliances as a special collection rather than cart waste.
Illinois bans several electronic products from landfills and Berwyn runs a free e-waste collection that has to be scheduled with SBC at least 24 hours ahead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Berwyn residents on the SBC service, with the e-waste collection published as free with the regular garbage service and needing to be scheduled in advance.
When & how
Call the SBC customer support line on 312-522-1115 or email Berwyn@SBCwastesolutions.com at least 24 hours before the pickup you want, and put the device where the hauler directs on the agreed day.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the garbage cart and out of the recycling cart, and note that the state-banned list names computers, laptops, monitors, cables, cable receivers, fax machines, digital video disc recorders, converter boxes, scanners, televisions, keyboards and mice.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk, appliance, e-waste or construction guidance, so the machine has to be confirmed through a special collection.
City cost & eligibility
SBC publishes no list that names exercise equipment and no special collection price, so the machine falls into the special collection route rather than the named bulk examples. Call 312-522-1115 or email Berwyn@SBCwastesolutions.com with a picture and confirm whether the machine is accepted and what it costs.
When & how
Send SBC a picture and description of the machine before it is put out, and use the collection date and any instructions the hauler gives rather than leaving it in the alley.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when you ask, remove any console or battery pack so the electronics travel through the free e-waste programme instead, and keep the item out of the regular garbage cart.
Homeowner project debris is accepted in the SBC container or up to six 35-gallon containers, one cubic yard, with a 50 pound per container and four foot length and width limit.

When & how
Place the material in the SBC container or in up to six 35-gallon non-SBC containers, which together come to one cubic yard, and keep everything in the alley by 6 a.m. on the collection day. Carpet is accepted as construction debris when it is tied in rolls, bundled or containerised inside the same limits.
Get it ready
Keep each non-SBC container under 50 pounds when full and no piece longer or wider than four feet, whether containerised or bundled, because anything outside those limits has to be booked as a special collection. Keep the load out of the recycling cart and away from yard waste.

An extra cart costs 85 dollars once, and additional organic carts cost 79, 89 or 99 dollars a year depending on size.

The item goes next to the SBC carts no earlier than the evening before collection day, a mattress or box spring must be secured in a plastic mattress cover for health and safety reasons, and anything outside the guidelines has to be arranged as a special collection with SBC by phone or email with a picture.

Household hazardous waste and electronics are collected at the front door through SBC's programme for household chemicals, automotive products, paint products, garden chemicals, universal materials, pool chemicals and electronics, with the cost included in the monthly service rate and the disposal materials provided.
Construction debris from homeowner projects may go in the SBC container or in up to six 35-gallon non-SBC containers, which together come to one cubic yard, with no container heavier than 50 pounds when full and no piece longer or wider than four feet whether it is containerised or bundled. Carpet is accepted as construction debris when it is tied in rolls, bundled or containerised inside the same limits. Yard waste runs from April 1 through the last full week of December on the same day as garbage and recycling, and Christmas trees are collected free from December 25 through the second full week of January once tinsel, lights and ornaments are removed.
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.
