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 Hoffman Estates: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

The village publishes two ways to clear clutter. Small overflow goes out beside the toter at no extra charge, because additional bags or items that will not fit securely in the toter are collected if they are set at the curb next to it, as long as bags stay within 32 gallons and nothing exceeds 50 pounds. Everything past that, meaning oversized or overweight items or debris exceeding one cubic yard, is an oversized pickup that Groot quotes and bills by the cubic yard.
The handoff matters
Garbage, recycling and yard waste are each collected once a week on the same day for a service area, by different trucks, so one day covers all three streams. Materials have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. when collection begins, and Groot will not return for toters and bags set out late. Nothing goes out before 6 p.m. the night before, and the toter has to be taken back in by 10 p.m. on the collection day.

Residences north of it are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Because routes can vary weekly and holidays shift the schedule, the village publishes the service area map and delays collection by one day for the remainder of a holiday week.

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.

Call Groot at 847-734-6400 and arrange it in advance. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard.

Groot Industries collects under a village franchise. The village states that its residential agreement with Groot for solid waste and recycling runs through April 30, 2031, and that the same franchise requires all roll-off dumpsters and all commercial hauling to go through Groot. Groot handles service questions and special pickups at 847-734-6400, while the village handles regular billing and service changes at 847-843-4824.Official guidance
It depends on which side of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway the residence sits on. Residences north of the tollway are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Garbage, recycling and yard waste all go out on that one day, collected by different trucks, and the village publishes a service area map because routes can vary weekly.Official guidance
Materials have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, because collection begins then and Groot will not return for toters and bags set out late. Nothing may go out before 6 p.m. the night before collection, and the toter has to be removed by 10 p.m. on the collection day. On non-collection days the toters must be stored behind the front building line.Official guidance
By the cubic yard. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, and the village names spring cleanup and move-in or move-out rubbish as typical loads. Appliance pickup is different and is published at no additional charge when it is scheduled in advance for the Wednesday run.Official guidance
