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 handoff matters
Basic residential service in Decatur covers once weekly collection of one garbage cart, weekly recycling, and unlimited weekly yard waste from March 1 through December 15 plus one additional pickup in January and one in February. It also includes five separate bulky waste collections a year with up to five items at each one, and a pickup may carry only one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher along with no more than four other items. Expanded basic service adds a second garbage cart. Carts come in 64 or 96 gallon sizes and the hauler provides them.
City garbage and recycling page with the basic and expanded service definitions, the five annual bulky collections and their item rules, the yard waste programme, the customer protections and the licensed hauler telephone numbersEven though the hauling is private, Decatur fixes several protections for residents: a hauler that misses an entire weekly collection cycle has to credit half of one month's rate, the city may reassign a whole neighborhood to a different hauler after a substantive pattern of poor service, an overage fee for excess garbage or bulky waste requires the hauler to hold photographic evidence and produce it on request, and a customer may pause collection for at least two months once a year for a one time 5 dollar stop and start fee. Residents who cannot place containers at the curb and have nobody at home who can get back door service at no charge once the hauler has medical verification.

Recycling reaches single-family homes and residences with up to six units, the assigned hauler runs the weekly collection, and the recycling fee is assessed on the water bill, with properties that do not use city water billed quarterly. If a recycling problem is not resolved with the hauler, the city may help at 217-424-2727.

Five separate bulky waste collections a year are included in basic residential service, with up to five bulky items at each collection. A single pickup may include one household appliance such as a refrigerator, oven or dishwasher and no more than four other items, and the resident calls the private hauler assigned to the address to set it up. If the hauler assesses an overage fee for excessive bulky waste, it has to keep photographic evidence and show it when a customer asks.Official guidance
A private hauler the city licenses and assigns to each address, not a city crew. The city prints the contact numbers for GFL at 217-935-5652, Waste Management at 800-796-9696, Jeremy Doolin Disposal at 217-422-5298, Doolin Disposal at 217-423-1680 and Murrell's Disposal at 217-519-0910, and it sets what the service package has to include, from the weekly carts to five bulky collections a year. The city can assist with a recycling problem at 217-424-2727 once the resident has contacted the hauler first.Official guidance
