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.

Household furniture is one of the bulky items Carmel's hauler collects, so a couch leaves on a scheduled bulky pickup at an additional charge per item. The city asks for at least 48 hours of notice before the normal pickup day.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per bulky item under the City of Carmel programme, paid by the resident in addition to the monthly trash and recycling charge, with bulky landscape waste priced separately at 40.00 per pickup. Carmel residential addresses on the mandatory city programme, with the bulky pickup arranged in advance through Republic Services.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 317-917-7300 at least 48 hours before the normal pickup day, and expect collection within the published 7:00am to 6:00pm service window.
Get it ready
Have the piece at the curb for the arranged day, keep it out of the cart, and confirm the item with the hauler because the city names household furniture, some appliances and bicycles rather than listing every acceptable piece.
Carmel's bulky service covers some appliances, while a unit that holds refrigerant goes to Hamilton County instead, where refrigerators and freezers are accepted as Freon-containing material at the hazardous waste drop-off center.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a 20.00 per bulky item fee for the appliances its bulky service takes, and the county does not publish a separate appliance charge, so confirm the unit, the route and any cost before the appliance leaves the house.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 317-917-7300 for the bulky route at least 48 hours ahead, or take a Freon unit to the county center during its Tuesday to Saturday hours.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure the doors, and confirm whether the appliance is accepted as a bulky item or has to go to the county center because it contains refrigerant.
Carmel's bulky service is a scheduled pickup at an additional per item charge with 48 hours of notice, and bulky landscape waste has its own charge. The base programme includes three carts, with each extra cart billed monthly, and trash and recycling are collected weekly.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per bulky item under the city programme, with bulky landscape waste at 40.00 per pickup, additional carts at 6.75 each per month, and the monthly programme charge published at 16.03 for 2026. All residential addresses inside the Carmel city limits, where participation in the city programme is required.
When & how
Trash and recycling are collected weekly during the 7:00am to 6:00pm service window, bulky pickups are arranged at least 48 hours ahead, and there is no collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, with service delayed a day for the rest of that week.
Get it ready
Arrange the bulky pickup before setting anything out, cut Christmas trees into sections of four feet or less with bags, ornaments, tinsel and stands removed, and keep the carts to the three included in the programme unless extra carts are worth the monthly charge.
Bulky items need arranging, and the fee is per item
Carmel's weekly collection is for carts, so furniture, some appliances and bicycles need a bulky pickup arranged with Republic Services at least 48 hours before the normal pickup day. The bulky service adds 20.00 per item and bulky landscape waste is priced separately at 40.00 per pickup, so confirm the items and the total before the pickup is booked.
Three carts are included, extras are billed monthly
Participation in the city programme is required for every residential address inside Carmel, the monthly charge including the billing service fee is published at 16.03 for 2026, three carts are included at that price and each additional cart costs 6.75 a month. Trash and recycling are collected weekly between 7:00am and 6:00pm on the service day, and there is no collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, with the rest of that week delayed by a day.
Televisions, computers, peripherals and other electronics go to the Hamilton County hazardous waste drop-off center at 1717 Pleasant Street in Noblesville, open Tuesday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday and on county holidays. Televisions carry a 20.00 fee per unit, monitors without an antenna are free, and registration is encouraged rather than required. The same site takes household chemicals, paint, Freon material such as refrigerators and freezers and tires, with a 200 pound chemical limit per residence each month, and it is open to Hamilton County residents only.
The City of Carmel's household hazardous waste facility, administered by the Water-Wastewater Utility since 1998, is free of charge to Carmel residents and Carmel Utilities residential customers, and the material dropped there is packaged and shipped on for recycling or proper disposal. The city publishes the site hours, the accepted item list and a medical sharps programme on linked pages, so the household checks the city page before a visit.
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.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
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.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+

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.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
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.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
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.
