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.
You want to know it is handled.
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.

Dearborn runs a bulk collection program for standard household items that do not fit in a trash cart. Those items can be placed outside the cart each week, and a separate truck collects them by the end of the household's trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly bulk collection program is for standard household items that do not fit in a trash cart, and the city publishes no per-item charge for that route.
When & how
Bulk items go out on the household's Public Service Day, and the separate bulk truck collects them by the end of that trash day.
Get it ready
Place the household bulk items outside the trash cart on the property easement rather than in the street. A pile that is heavier or larger than ordinary household bulk, or that includes carpet, brush bundles or certain appliances, moves to the special pickup route instead.
Excessive quantities of trash, large or heavy bulk items, bundles of brush, carpet and some appliances require a Special Pick-Up rather than the weekly bulk route. A service fee is charged for each special pickup coordinated through the City.
City cost & eligibility
The City states that a service fee is charged for each special pickup but publishes no amount, so confirm the fee and the accepted load with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 before the pickup is booked.
When & how
Call the City on 313-943-2150 to arrange the special pickup, and it is coordinated through the Department of Public Works rather than set out on the normal collection day.
Get it ready
Describe the load accurately when the pickup is booked, because the fee is charged for each special pickup and the route is intended for the loads the weekly bulk truck cannot take. Keep hazardous and construction material, fuel and ammunition out of the load entirely, since those are refused at the curb and at the DPW Yard.
A couch or other household furniture piece that will not fit in the trash cart is ordinary household bulk, so it can go out beside the cart each week. Couches are also named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, which gives a no-cost drop-off on the third Saturday of the month.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Household furniture on the weekly bulk route carries no per-item charge, and the DPW Yard takes couches and outdated furniture at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month.
When & how
Furniture goes out on the household's Public Service Day with the weekly bulk, or to the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Put the piece beside the trash cart on the property easement, not in the street, and keep it to household furniture. Use the DPW Yard when you want the piece gone sooner, and keep the load clear of hazardous and construction material, fuel and ammunition.
Mattresses are named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, so a mattress can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. A mattress is also an ordinary household item that will not fit in the trash cart, so it can go out with the weekly bulk route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The DPW Yard accepts mattresses at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month, and the weekly household bulk route carries no published per-item charge.
When & how
Take the mattress to the DPW Yard on the third Saturday of the month between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., or set it out with the weekly bulk on the household's Public Service Day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, set it beside the trash cart on the property easement if it goes out with the weekly bulk, and take it to the DPW Yard if the household wants the no-cost drop-off. Keep it clear of the refused material, which includes construction and hazardous waste, fuel and ammunition.
Old appliances are named in the DPW Yard accepted list, so an appliance can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. Some appliances are also on the special pickup list, which means the household may need to book and pay for the collection instead.
City cost & eligibility
Old appliances are accepted at the DPW Yard at no cost on the third Saturday of the month, while the special pickup route for some appliances carries a service fee, so confirm which route applies with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150. Confirm a refrigerant unit separately.
When & how
Drop the appliance at the DPW Yard on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., or call 313-943-2150 if the unit sits on the special pickup list.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure or remove the doors before it leaves the property. Confirm a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner with the City first, because the city page does not address refrigerant handling and those units are treated differently from an ordinary old appliance.
Exercise equipment is not named anywhere in the Dearborn material, so the route depends on size and weight. A machine that will not fit in the trash cart is ordinary household bulk, while something heavy or oversized belongs on the special pickup route.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not named in the city material, so confirm with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 whether the machine rides the weekly bulk truck or needs a Special Pick-Up with its service fee. The weekly bulk route itself carries no published per-item charge.
When & how
Call the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 to confirm the machine, then either set it out with the weekly bulk on the household's Public Service Day or book the special pickup.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item. Set it beside the trash cart on the property easement rather than in the street, and keep refused material out of the load.
Trash, recycling, yard waste and standard household bulk all go out on the household's Public Service Day, which is assigned by neighbourhood and runs from March 2 through December 7, 2026. Yard waste containers and bags sit on the property easement rather than in the street, and bulk items go beside the trash cart rather than inside it.
Standard household items that will not fit in the cart go out each week for the separate bulk truck. Excessive quantities, large or heavy items, bundles of brush, carpet and some appliances need a Special Pick-Up with a service fee booked on 313-943-2150. Mattresses, old appliances, couches and outdated furniture can also be dropped at the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

One day a month only, and the yard refuses construction and hazardous materials, fuel and ammunition. Tires are accepted only on designated tire collection days.
Dearborn's self-haul route is the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield, open to residents on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at no cost, where household refuse, old appliances, couches, mattresses, outdated furniture and extra household garbage are accepted.
