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

Furniture and other items too large for the rollout container are pay piles, collected on Thursdays and Fridays for a minimum fee added to the water bill.
Scrap metal is not named as its own route on the city page, so it has to be confirmed as a pay pile or taken with an appliance at the Spring Clean Up Day.
The handoff matters
Paducah residential solid waste costs 28.00 a month for one rollout and includes yard waste collection and curbside recycling for households that sign up, with fees on the monthly water bill. Only city-issued containers are serviced, crews run from 4 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on residential and commercial routes, and containers must be out by 4 a.m. on the collection day, so the city recommends setting them out the night before. Collection runs Tuesday through Friday with recycling the same day, and holidays may push a route to Monday. Containers go within two feet of the roadside edge with handles facing away from the street, and the side-arm truck cannot service a container with a stationary object such as a car, mailbox, utility pole, tree, shrub or fence within four feet. Overfilled containers may interrupt service, and contents such as paint, gasoline, solvents, oil, batteries, tires, bricks, blocks and construction material stop the collection altogether.

The items go adjacent to the street rather than in an alley, and the person named on the water bill calls Public Works on 270-444-8511 to report the pile. A Public Works supervisor then reviews it and assigns a fee that depends on the size of the pile and how much of the knuckleboom truck it fills, with a minimum charge added to the water bill, and collection happens on Thursdays and Fridays. If the pile is refused for a rule violation, a Call Back service before the next scheduled date carries an additional fee.

Limbs have to be 48 inches or shorter and no more than 15 inches in diameter, leaves and clippings must be bagged at 50 pounds or less and kept separate from the piles, and the pile cannot be larger than a small car at roughly 10 feet long and 5 feet high. A pile above those limits may be collected for a 150 fee, and large limbs, stumps and trunks are special collections that may also carry 150, with some pieces too large for the compost grinder and possibly not collected. The free alternative is a trip to the Compost Facility at 1560 North 8th Street, which also takes Christmas trees and brush at no charge.

As a pay pile.

The pile goes adjacent to the street rather than in an alley, the person named on the water bill calls Public Works on 270-444-8511, and collection happens on Thursdays and Fridays.Official guidance
The city page does not name a scrap metal route, so the answer has to be confirmed. Metal is not on the list of contents that interrupt service, but it is also not listed as accepted at the Spring Clean Up Day, which takes major appliances, batteries and e-scrap. Call Public Works on 270-444-8511 to ask whether the load is a pay pile, collected Thursdays and Fridays for a minimum fee, or whether it can travel with appliances to the event.Official guidance
