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 Elizabeth: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Elizabeth allows each property to put three household items out with the regular garbage on the second garbage day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday depending on the ward, and never on Monday or Tuesday. The brochure calls bulk garbage the biggest problem it sees, so the allowance is strict.
Couches, tables, chairs, dressers, closets, rugs and vanities are named on the household item list that may go out with the regular garbage on the second garbage day. The three item limit applies to the whole property on that route.
Mattresses are named on the household item list that goes out with the regular garbage on the second garbage day, inside the three item allowance for the property.
Metal household appliances and other metal are collected by appointment only and at no cost. Doors have to be removed by law, and the homeowner has to evacuate the gas from a refrigerator or air conditioner before calling for the appointment.
Televisions, monitors and computers are not a curbside item in Elizabeth, because the brochure requires electronic devices to be brought to the city Recycling Center. VCRs, desktop fax machines and similar devices may go out with the household garbage instead.
Exercise equipment is not named in the Elizabeth brochure. General metal moves by appointment, so a metal machine may qualify, but the city publishes no line for a treadmill or weight machine and the item has to be confirmed.
The handoff matters
Each property may put three household items out with the regular garbage on the second garbage day of the week, Thursday or Friday by ward, and never on Monday or Tuesday. Doors, windows, televisions, concrete, rocks, dirt, sheetrock, wood and construction material are refused, and the city warns that inspectors issue summonses and take pictures, leaving the resident responsible for the cleanup and the fine.
2026 Trash and Recycling CalendarMetal household appliances and other metal move by appointment only, at no cost, with the doors removed and the refrigerant evacuated from a refrigerator or air conditioner before the call. Leaves, grass, bushes, logs and branches also need an appointment. The brochure repeats that no refrigerators, appliances, metal, branches, stumps, brush or leaves go out on Thursdays or Fridays without one.
