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 handoff matters
Carts and large items go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before your collection day and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Pickup starts at 7 a.m. and there is no set time for a particular street, so an early route can pass before you have looked outside. Bring empty containers in within 12 hours of collection.
Weekly trash collection set-out window, holiday delays and cart returnOnly city issued trash and recycling carts are emptied. Put them at the front curb or the edge of the street, never in the roadway, with the wheels facing the curb, about three feet between carts and four feet of clearance from overhead obstructions. Once the carts are full, extra items may be placed at the curb beside them.
