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 Lansing: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Couches, chairs, tables, dressers and other large household furniture are collected as paid bulk items on Thursdays once the pickup is requested and paid for.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the City's bulk item examples and are collected on a requested Thursday at the published per-item rates.
Appliances are collected as bulk items on Thursdays, and cooling appliances go to the disposal center as Freon units with the doors removed.
Large electronics, including televisions, are collected as bulk items on a requested Thursday, and the disposal center takes large televisions as a standard bulk item.
Anything too large for the blue trash cart with the lid closed, and likely over 30 pounds or 4 feet long, is a bulk item that the City collects on Thursdays by request.
The handoff matters
Bulk items are only picked up on Thursdays, and only after the pickup is requested and paid for. If the item is not at the curb on the Thursday the work order names, it may have to wait until the following Thursday.
Bulk item definition, Thursday pickup, request form and ratesNothing is scheduled until the payment is made. After the bulk item form is submitted, watch for the email with the payment and pickup instructions, then pay online, by mailed check, in person at the Treasurer's Office in City Hall, or on the automated phone line.
Bulk item definition, Thursday pickup, request form and ratesThe City's ordinance puts containers in the right-of-way no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day before collection and expects them back off the right-of-way by 7:00 a.m. the day after. Plan a bulk item for the same Thursday window rather than leaving it at the curb all week, because left-out material can draw a fine.
CART program, funding and set-out ordinanceUse 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.
