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 go to the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, with the lift handle facing the street and the lid hinge away from it, and they come back in by 8 a.m. the next day. Only the carts issued by the city can be used, the cart goes at the curb rather than in the street, and it stays three feet from trees, bushes, parked cars and other carts.

Only during the annual neighborhood area cleanup, when city crews collect mattresses along with carpet, appliances, furniture and toys. Put the item out the weekend before your scheduled collection week, keep it separate from yard waste, brush and recyclables, and note that trucks make one pass and that a pile mixed with unacceptable material is not collected at all. Outside the cleanup week the city directs residents to the Hanes Mill Road Landfill.Official guidance
Yes, but only during the annual neighborhood area cleanup, which is for single-family homes. Furniture is named on the list of items city crews collect, along with carpet, appliances, mattresses and toys, and the pile goes out the weekend before the scheduled collection week.
