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 local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Hammond: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Furniture cannot go in a Hammond cart at all, because miscellaneous junk is on the city's banned list, and no city page publishes a furniture collection programme. The documented route for banned material is a Street Department special pick-up arranged by phone.
Hammond's carts take kitchen garbage only, bagged in plastic and under 50 pounds, with yard waste in 30 gallon paper bags from the first week of April through the last week of November. Everything else is banned from the cart and moves through the Street Department special pick-up line or a county programme.
The handoff matters
Hammond empties its own carts, and the city is explicit that they carry kitchen garbage only, bagged in plastic, under 50 pounds, out the night before the collection day, in a city cart. Yard waste goes in 30 gallon biodegradable paper bags on the same day, from the first week of April through the last week of November, and the bags must hold only leaves, grass, plants or twigs.

The city says some of those items can be picked up by the Street Department through a special pick-up arranged at 853-6431 and that others can only be dropped at a Lake County hazardous waste drop-off between April and October.

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.
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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Not in the city cart, because miscellaneous junk is on the banned trash list. The city states that some banned items can be picked up by the Street Department through a special pick-up arranged at 853-6431 after the material is placed out, so call that line, confirm the item and the cost, and keep the alley line clear in the meantime.Official guidance

The City of Hammond's own Sanitation Department, based at 601 Conkey Street, phone 219-853-6433, with office hours Monday to Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm and operations from 6:00am to 2:30pm. The city emails its own carts, takes kitchen garbage only in plastic bags under 50 pounds, and requires businesses and buildings with three or more apartments to hold a private dumpster contract instead.Official guidance
Human feces, brake fluid, animal carcasses, gasoline, cement, oil, wood, bleach, sand, ammonia, dirt, pool chemicals, sod, branches, oil based paint, roofing shingles, yard waste and miscellaneous junk are all banned, because the city carts are for kitchen garbage only. Water based paint is the exception in reverse: once it is completely dried with no liquid left, it can go on the ground beside the can and be collected with the garbage.Official guidance
