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 Dover: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
A bulky item tag is how an oversized non-metal item leaves Dover on the regular trash day. The city's published examples are furniture, a mattress, a toilet and carpets, and bundles of material such as lumber, fencing, wallboard, plaster and building debris can go out the same way when they are three to four feet long and within the tag weight. A tagged item is collected with the household trash.
The handoff matters
Everything for curbside collection goes out by 7 a.m. on your trash day, and nothing goes to the curb earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. A 15 gallon Dover bag holds no more than 20 pounds and a 30 gallon bag no more than 35 pounds, both tied shut, and a tagged bulky item leaves on the same day as the trash. Recycling goes out with it, and the city will not collect bottles, cans or paper that are left curbside in plastic bags.

Buy the tag before collection day at the City Clerk's Office, the Public Works facility on Mast Road, the Recycling Center or a store that sells Dover bags, and attach it to the item you are setting out.

One non-metal item that is too large for a Dover trash bag, collected on your regular trash day with the trash. Furniture, a mattress, a toilet and carpets are the city examples, and the same tag can cover a bundle of building material cut to three or four feet and kept within the tag weight.Official guidance
The City of Dover runs a weekly bag-and-tag curbside program through its contractor, Waste Management, and the Recycling Center on Mast Road takes what cannot go to the curb. Community Services answers program questions at (603) 516-6450 and the Recycling Center line is (603) 516-6073. The city has announced that curbside collection becomes a toter system on July 1, 2027, when the bag and tag program ends.Official guidance
A tag covers one non-metal item that is too large for a Dover trash bag, and the city prices tags with the rest of its bag and tag program. Tags are sold at the City Clerk's Office at City Hall, the Public Works facility on Mast Road, the Recycling Center and most stores that sell Dover bags, so buy one before your collection day.Official guidance
A 15 gallon Dover bag is collected up to 20 pounds and a 30 gallon bag up to 35 pounds, both tied shut, and everything goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on your trash day and no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. Recycling goes out the same day, and bottles, cans and paper left curbside in plastic bags are not collected.Official guidance
