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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Worcester: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
The city's drop-off center takes an unlimited number of bulk items at one flat fee per item, with mattresses and box springs as the only exceptions, and it is open for bulk drop-off from April through November or December as the weather permits. The alternative is the city's own contractor, which collects bulk items from the curb by appointment at its own published per item rates.
The handoff matters
Only trash in an official City of Worcester yellow bag is collected, and the bags are sold at local retailers and at the 311 customer service center. Small bags carry a 15 pound weight limit and large bags a 30 pound limit. Trash and recycling go out together between 6 and 7:30 in the morning, and if a collection day falls on a holiday that day and the rest of the week slide one day later. Anything that does not fit a bag, or that weighs more than the bag allows, is a bulk item.

Bulk items such as furniture, appliances and electronics have to go to the Residential Drop-Off Center by appointment, or onto the city contractor's curbside bulk route if the household books and pays for it. On the contractor route, bulk items must be on the curb by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day, and the fee is not refundable without a 24 hour cancellation notice.
