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.

Bulk junk removal in Clifton: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Furniture is a named bulk item in Clifton and goes out on the first garbage day of the week, with a two item limit and no set out later in the week.
A mattress is the first item named on the Clifton bulk waste list and goes out on the first garbage day of the week within the two item limit.
Clifton's bulk list names mattresses, furniture, cabinets, doors, tables, lumber and rugs rather than appliances, so a white good needs its own arrangement rather than a plain set out.
Refrigerators, freezers, working room air conditioners and dehumidifiers run through a utility pickup rather than the curb, so the appointment and any terms have to be confirmed.
A television is not collected with the garbage and is the resident's responsibility, so it goes to one of the two city drop-off sites.
Computers, monitors, printers, stereos and other listed devices are not garbage in Clifton and go to the same two city drop-off sites.
Cut and tied lumber rides the bulk list like furniture, while brick, concrete and stone are banned from the garbage and have no city route.
No Clifton list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed against the bulk list before it goes out.
Bulk waste is part of the city collection, taken on the first garbage day of the week, two items at most, and never on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
The handoff matters
Clifton collects garbage twice a week across six days of collection, and the only day the city skips is Christmas Day. Each collection is limited to three barrels or securely tied plastic bags, and the containers cannot exceed 35 gallons. Everything goes neatly to the curb after 6 PM the night before, never into the street, and the empty receptacles come back in the same day and are stored out of sight behind the home. Dirt, stones, brick, concrete and hazardous waste are not allowed in the garbage, and collection questions go to 973-470-2239.
City rules for the collection of garbage with the twice weekly limit, the bulk waste list and schedule, the propane tank rule and the electronics drop-off sitesThe bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, and the set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection. Clifton allows a maximum of two items on that first collection, lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied, and nothing goes out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A piece that misses the window waits for the following week.

Propane tanks belong to the homeowner, will not be collected and can lead to a summons if they are put out. Dirt, stones, brick and concrete are barred from the garbage, and household hazardous waste waits for one of the Passaic County collection days.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Clifton.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection. Furniture is named on the bulk waste list along with mattresses, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, and the set out has to be at the curb after 6 PM the night before. Clifton allows two bulk items on that first collection and does not take bulk waste on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.Official guidance
Two bulk items at most, and a mattress counts as one of them. Mattresses are the first item on the city bulk waste list, so the piece goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and Clifton will not take bulk waste on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A box spring would use the second item slot.Official guidance
Not automatically, because the city bulk waste list names mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs rather than appliances. The city does run an appliance recycling route for refrigerators, freezers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers through the utility programme, and propane tanks are the homeowner's responsibility and are never collected, so call the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 before a stove, washer or dryer goes to the curb.Official guidance
Book the utility appliance pickup instead of putting it at the curb. The city directs refrigerator and freezer recycling to a programme that collects up to two refrigerators or freezers per household, and it can take up to two working room air conditioners or dehumidifiers during the same appointment. No curbside appliance collection is published, and the city publishes no fee for the pickup, so confirm the terms when you book.Official guidance
To a city drop-off rather than the curb. Televisions are named among the electronic items that Clifton says are the resident's responsibility and are not collected with the garbage, so the set goes to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or to the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
They go to a city drop-off, not the curb. The city lists computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs as electronic items the resident has to handle, and the routes are the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
Only in a narrow way. Lumber and rugs are on the bulk waste list when they are cut to four foot lengths and tied and fit the two item limit on the first garbage day of the week, but the city forbids dirt, stones, brick and concrete in the garbage, and it publishes no municipal drop-off for masonry or a contractor load. A larger renovation load is therefore a private arrangement.Official guidance
No Clifton list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed rather than assumed. The bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, taken on the first garbage day of the week within a two item limit, so call the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 and keep the machine off the curb until the city agrees it belongs on the list.Official guidance
Mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs cut to four foot lengths and tied. The set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and the city allows two items on that first collection only. Bulk waste is never collected on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and propane tanks, electronics and masonry are not part of the programme.Official guidance
The City of Clifton does, through its Recycling Division and Department of Public Works. Garbage is collected twice a week across six days of collection, with the only skipped holiday being Christmas Day, and each collection is capped at three barrels or tied bags in containers no larger than 35 gallons. The department is at 307 E 7th Street and answers collection questions on 973-470-2239, and the city also runs curbside recycling and the vegetative waste programme.Official guidance
No. Bulk waste is collected on your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and the city will not take it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before, the limit is two items on that first collection only, and lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied.Official guidance
To one of the city's two drop-off sites. Clifton lists computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs as electronic items the resident has to handle, and they are not collected with the garbage. The Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave opens Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street takes them Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
Through the utility appliance pickup rather than the curb. The city directs refrigerator and freezer recycling to a programme that collects up to two units per household and can take up to two working room air conditioners or dehumidifiers in the same appointment, and it keeps broken units out by requiring them to be working. The city publishes no appliance collection of its own, so confirm the appointment terms when you book.Official guidance
To a Passaic County collection day. Clifton has no standing hazardous waste drop-off, and the county Office of Recycling sponsors a household hazardous waste collection day three times a year, with the date and location from the county on 973-305-5738. Paint, chemicals and other hazardous material can never go in the garbage or into a bulk pile, and propane tanks stay with the homeowner because the city will not collect them.Official guidance
