The clear-out can be finished.
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.

A mattress is a named bulky item, so it rides the free bulky collection that each home can schedule twice a year. The city takes it at no extra cost up to the per collection volume limit, which makes St. Peters one of the places where a mattress leaves without a special fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Each St. Peters home, single-family or multi-family, can schedule up to two bulky collections a year at no extra cost, with up to 3 cubic yards per collection. Anything beyond 3 cubic yards is not collected, and St. Charles County Recycle Works refuses mattresses and box springs, so the city program is the route that takes them.
When & how
Schedule the bulky collection through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website for a single-family home, or by calling Solid Waste at 636-970-1456 for a multi-family building, then set the mattress out no later than 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees and out from under any utility line, because the automatic arm needs clear space and items under lines are not collected. Count it against the 3 cubic yard limit for that collection and do not add it to a yard waste pile.
Furniture is a named bulky item, collected at the curb on a scheduled date at no extra charge within the per collection volume limit. A couch, a table or a dresser therefore leaves without a fee, provided the load stays inside the limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is accepted as a bulky item at no extra cost under the two scheduled collections a year that every St. Peters home gets, with up to 3 cubic yards per collection.
When & how
Schedule the collection first through the STP COLLECTS app, the city website or 636-970-1456, then set the furniture out by 6:30 a.m. on the chosen pickup day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep every piece at least 4 feet from obstructions and out from under utility lines, and leave anything smaller than a trash cart out of the pile, because bulky collection is reserved for items that will not fit inside the cart.
Dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washers and water heaters are named as bulky items, and the city states that appliances without Freon qualify for that free collection. Doors come off a stove first, and a lawn mower needs its fuel drained.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances that do not contain Freon are accepted through the free bulky item collection, which every St. Peters home can schedule twice a year at no extra cost. A fee based Major Appliance Pickup and a drop off at Recycle City are also offered when a household wants a weekday appointment instead.
When & how
Schedule the bulky collection through the STP COLLECTS app, the city website, or by calling Solid Waste at 636-970-1456, and put the appliance out by 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day. The fee based Major Appliance Pickup runs Monday through Friday when a weekday service date is easier.
Get it ready
Remove the latched doors from a stove before it goes out, and drain the gasoline and oil from a lawn mower. Keep the appliance at least 4 feet from obstructions and never under a utility line, and confirm the unit never held refrigerant before choosing this route.
St. Peters splits electronics two ways. A television or monitor can go out as a bulky item, but only with the glass taped in a big X and kept in its own pile, and Recycle City no longer takes flat screens. The drop-off route is St. Charles County Recycle Works, which publishes a per item fee list.
City cost & eligibility
Recycle Works Central publishes the per item figures rather than one price: a CPU or a flat screen monitor is 5 dollars, a CRT monitor 20 dollars, a flat screen television of any size 15 dollars, a CRT television under 30 inches 30 dollars and 30 inches and over 40 dollars, with a wood console or rear projection television at 50 dollars and a floor copier at 50 cents per pound. Keyboards, mice, fax machines, scanners, laptops, typewriters, cell phones, DVD players, VCRs, stereos, clock radios, video game systems, Christmas light strands and cords carry no charge. Confirm the exact item at the counter before loading.
When & how
For a bulky collection, tape the glass and separate the pile, then schedule through the STP COLLECTS app, the city website or 636-970-1456. For drop-off, go to Recycle Works Central at 60 Triad South Drive in St. Charles, Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and pay by cash or check.
Get it ready
Tape a big X from corner to corner across the glass with duct tape and place the item in a pile on its own so the driver can see it, because the city states that glass items without tape are not collected. Wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house, and remember that Recycle City refuses electronics at its drop-off center and no longer accepts flat screen televisions.
The bulky program is the city's own route for anything too large for the cart. Every home gets up to two scheduled collections a year at no extra cost, picks its own date, and may set out bulky trash or bulky yard waste, not both at once. Space is first come, first served.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two scheduled bulky collections a year at no extra cost for each St. Peters home, single-family or multi-family, with up to 3 cubic yards per collection. Bulk drop-off at Recycle City carries a fee with a Resident Privilege Card discount, and one extra 55-gallon contractor bag may sit at the curb for a separate charge.
When & how
Book the date through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website for a single-family home, or call 636-970-1456 for a multi-family building, and set items out no later than 6:30 a.m. on the pickup day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside 3 cubic yards, about a pickup truck bed, stay at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees, and keep everything out from under utility lines. Brush and limbs go in a separate pile as their own collection and are never bundled, and appliances, glass, stoves and mowers all need the preparation the city asks for.
Bulky collection is scheduled, and the date is yours to pick
Bulky collection in St. Peters is by appointment rather than by zone. A single-family home schedules through the STP COLLECTS app or the city website, a multi-family building calls 636-970-1456, and the household chooses the date it wants on a first-come, first-served basis. Each home gets up to two scheduled collections a year at no extra cost, with a ceiling of 3 cubic yards per collection, about a pickup truck bed, and anything over that amount is left behind. A household may set out bulky trash or bulky yard waste, but not both at the same time.
Four preparation steps decide whether the pile is collected
The city asks for specific preparation before a bulky load goes out. Stoves need their latched doors removed, and lawn mowers need the gasoline and oil drained. Glass items, including shower doors, windows, mirrors, television sets and computer monitors, need a big X of duct tape across the glass and a pile of their own, because the city states that glass without tape is not collected. Brush and limbs go in a separate pile as their own collection, are never bundled, and stay under 4 feet in length and 8 inches in diameter. Everything sits at least 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and trees and never under a utility line.
Only the container the city furnishes may be used, and everything has to go inside it. The cart goes to the curb by 6:30 a.m. on collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before, with the wheels and the handle facing the home, and stays 4 feet from cars, mailboxes and streetlights. The lid may not stand open more than 12 inches, and the cart is stored out of sight from the street between collections. Sharps go in a heavy-duty puncture-resistant container with a teaspoon of bleach and a taped lid and never in a blue bag, and hot ashes wait in a metal container outside until they are fully cool.
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.

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?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.

Yes, through the bulky item collection. A mattress is a named bulky item, each home can schedule up to two bulky collections a year at no extra cost, and each collection is limited to 3 cubic yards.

A fee based Major Appliance Pickup is also available on weekdays, and Recycle Works Central takes appliances for its published collection fee.Official guidance
Will St. Peters take a television at the curb?+
