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.

Anything bulky that fits the city's limits goes out on the regular collection day, up to two items a week, as long as the household also stays inside the two cubic yard weekly limit for regular set-outs.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, for household material within the two bulky item weekly limit, the 250 pound item limit and the two cubic yard weekly volume limit.
When & how
Put bulky items out before 7 a.m. on your collection day and allow 48 hours for removal. No appointment or phone call is needed for items inside the limits, and over sized loads need a quote first.
Get it ready
Keep bags at 40 pounds or less and cans between 10 and 35 gallons with lids and handles and under 60 pounds. The only larger container the city allows is a 90 gallon polycart purchased from Tringali at 248.585.9120. Keep yard waste, tires, construction material and hazardous waste out of the load.
Routes run Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. until the work is finished. Material can be placed at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. on the previous day and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and containers should come back in within 24 hours.
Bulky items go out with the regular collection day without an appointment, up to two per week, and the household allows 48 hours for the hauler to reach them. Every piece has to stay under 250 pounds.
Electronics, batteries and yard waste need another route
Electronics and batteries stay out of the curbside collection because of fire and handling risk, and yard waste cannot be collected as trash or in plastic bags. Electronics and batteries go to SOCRRA's drop-off center at 995 Coolidge by appointment, batteries can also go in the container at the Department of Public Works, and yard waste needs the city's stamped container or a paper yard waste bag during the season.
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.
City of Troy Department of Public Works and Tringali Sanitation
City contracted curbside collection
Troy households with furniture, mattresses, appliances, exercise equipment or other bulky household items that fit the weight and volume limits.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, for household material within the two bulky item weekly limit, the 250 pound item limit and the two cubic yard weekly volume limit.
Arrange it
Set the items at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before and before 7 a.m. on the collection day, and allow 48 hours for removal. No appointment or phone call is needed for household material inside the limits.
Remodeling debris, concrete, dirt, yard waste, tires, car batteries and hazardous chemicals are excluded from the curbside service. Loads over two cubic yards and any single item over 250 pounds need a quote from Tringali at 248.585.9120 first.
Households clearing out a move, a flood or fire clean-out, or remodeling material that the curbside collection does not take.
Cost & conditions
Tringali Sanitation quotes these loads by phone at 248.585.9120 and publishes no rate table, so confirm the current price before the material is scheduled.
Arrange it
Call Tringali at 248.585.9120, describe the load, and follow the instruction the hauler gives for where the material should be placed.
This route covers material the city excludes from curbside collection, such as remodeling debris, concrete, dirt, tires and large vehicle parts. It is a separate charge from the regular household collection and does not replace the weekly route.
Both of SOCRRA's operating sites sit inside Troy, which makes the self-haul routes short. The drop-off center at 995 Coolidge takes electronics, household hazardous waste, styrofoam, batteries and paper shredding by appointment for member community residents, and the transfer station at 991 Coolidge takes trash loads by weight without an appointment during limited weekday and Saturday hours. The Department of Public Works at 4693 Rochester Rd keeps a cardboard dumpster and a battery container open to residents at any time. Neither Coolidge site takes yard waste, and no SOCRRA facility accepts brush, branches or woody tree material: the authority directs yard waste to its Spurt-SOCRRA compost site at 1741 School Road in Rochester Hills, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Confirm the drop-off arrangement with the site before loading, and keep using the city's stamped container or a paper yard waste bag in season.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+

Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How much trash can a Troy household set out each week?+
Weekly curbside collection is limited to two cubic yards, which the city describes as about fifteen bags, plus up to two bulky items. Anything above that, including a move or a flood clean-out, needs a price quote from Tringali at 248.585.9120.Official guidance
Will Troy collect an item that weighs more than 250 pounds?+
No. The city states that any item weighing more than 250 pounds will not be collected, and no piece of furniture or appliance is exempt from that limit. Split what you can into pieces that meet the weight and bag limits, or ask Tringali about the load.Official guidance
