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.

Alexandria collects limbs and bulky items as class 3 debris on a rotating route, but the published examples name sofas and chairs rather than mattresses.
City cost & eligibility
The city page publishes no separate charge for class 3 bulky debris. Confirm the item, the address and any current charge with the Sanitation Department before set-out.
When & how
Check the current rotation for your address and set the mattress at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day the class 3 route is due.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress in its own pile, apart from white goods, limbs and bagged leaves. Garbage goes out only on a scheduled day, and the city can cite an unscheduled set-out.
Alexandria's sanitation page names sofas and chairs as bulky waste that the city's class 3 debris route collects on a rotating schedule.
City cost & eligibility
No separate bulky item price is published. Confirm the item, the address and any current charge with the Sanitation Department.
When & how
The department aims to reach each area of the city every 10 to 12 working days, so set an accepted item out by 7 a.m. on the day the route reaches your address.
Get it ready
Keep furniture in one pile and separate from white goods, limbs and bagged leaves. The department is not responsible for residents' garbage cans and does not take garbage set out on an unscheduled day.
Alexandria treats stoves, washers, dryers, refrigerators, water heaters, dishwashers and air conditioners as white goods, collected on the third Wednesday of the month after a request.
City cost & eligibility
The city page and its 311 answer publish no white goods fee. Call the Sanitation Department to log the request and confirm the address, item and any current charge.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department at 318-441-6080 or 318-441-6082, or file a white goods request through Alexandria Connects, and have the unit curbside in front of the residence for the third Wednesday pickup.
Get it ready
Keep white goods in their own pile: the city leaves them curbside when they are mixed in with limbs or other debris. Give the name, address and phone number of the person making the request.
Computers and electronics are not part of the curbside route. The city's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day takes electronics and computers, limited to five items.
City cost & eligibility
The notice publishes no fee for the collection day. Confirm the current event details, item limits and any charge before you load a vehicle.
When & how
The city publishes a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day at the City Complex, 2021 Industrial Park Road; the notice names Saturday, May 30, 2026, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and that posted date has passed, so confirm the next date with Environmental Services at 318-441-6204.

City cost & eligibility
$300 per load or partial load of contractor-generated lawn debris that the Sanitation Department has to collect from the curb. Applies to lawn debris a contractor put out at the curb. Yard debris the resident generates is handled by the city's own limb and bagged-leaf pickup instead.
When & how
Do not put contractor-generated debris out for the regular limb route. Have the contractor remove it, or confirm a private facility before the work starts.
Get it ready
Bag leaves and keep limbs separate from other material so a private hauler can price the load, and keep the pile clear of storm drains, driveways and utility equipment.

Call 318-441-6080 or 318-441-6082 with the machine type and whether it has electronics or batteries, then set it out only for the day the department gives you.
