Finish clearing the space
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.

Furniture is named in the trash definition and is collected when it will not fit the city container.
Bedding is named in the city's trash definition, so a mattress rides the same route as furniture.
White goods are collected citywide, but the owner has to call ahead and any refrigerant must be professionally removed first.
Electronic waste is excluded from the recycling stream and referred to designated facilities that the city does not name.
Building materials from construction, repair or remodeling are not collected and the owner has to have them privately removed.
Exercise equipment is not named in the trash definition, so the route has to be confirmed.

The handoff matters
Garbage is the city's term for all solid or semi-solid kitchen refuse subject to decay along with its packaging, and the ordinance also counts waste paper, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household as garbage. All garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and specific pickup questions go to Public Works at 337-491-1220.
