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.

Home furniture rides the regular garbage schedule in Passaic, two items at a pickup, and the city names mattresses, home furniture and box springs as the items allowed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Passaic household with municipal garbage collection. The city publishes no separate fee for the two-item bulk pickup, which runs on the regular garbage day.
When & how
Put the pieces out on your normal garbage day, two items at a time, and keep the calendar clear of the holidays that do move a route. Garbage stays on schedule for most Passaic holidays, and only the recycling pickup shifts at Christmas and New Year's Day.
Get it ready
Wrap any cloth furniture in plastic before it goes to the curb, because the crew leaves unwrapped upholstered items. Keep the piece whole enough for two people to lift, and keep bulk out of the recycling container, which takes only the published recyclables in an open container with cardboard and paper flat and tied.
Mattresses and box springs are named on the city's bulk list, and they have one rule that residents most often miss: the full wrap.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Passaic household with municipal garbage collection and a bulk pickup on the regular garbage day.
When & how
Set the mattress out on the regular garbage day as one of the two items allowed per pickup. Garbage collection stays on the normal schedule for most Passaic holidays.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress or box spring completely in plastic before it reaches the curb, because the city states that cloth furniture including mattresses will not be picked up unless it is wrapped fully. Count the mattress and the box spring as two of the two items allowed at that pickup.
Passaic collects used appliances and scrap metal as white goods on an appointment, and the published list names air conditioners, dishwashers, grills, refrigerators, stoves and washing machines.
City cost & eligibility
The city asks residents to call Public Works to schedule a white goods pickup and prints no fee for that service, while the tire entry on the same page does publish a charge. Confirm the current terms with Public Works when you book the appointment.
When & how
Call Public Works at 973-365-5654 to book the appliance pickup, then set the unit out as directed. Public Works answers the phone Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the garbage and recycling containers, which do not take appliances. Keep the appointment number handy on the day of the pickup, and ask whether the crew wants the unit at the curb or at a specific spot on the property.
No Passaic or Passaic County list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city's bulk list names mattresses, home furniture and box springs rather than exercise equipment, and no county programme names it either. Confirm the machine with Public Works, or with the trash hauler Cali Carting at 201-991-5400, before it is set out.
When & how
Call before the regular garbage day, because the two-item bulk allowance is limited to the items the city names and a machine may not be accepted at all.
Get it ready
Describe the size, weight and any motor or electronic console when calling, and take loose weights and accessories off the frame so the piece can be handled. Keep the machine out of the garbage and recycling containers, and keep any battery out of the carts.
Two bulk items per pickup, on the regular garbage day
Passaic does not run a separate bulk calendar. Home furniture, mattresses and box springs go out with the regular garbage collection, two items at a time, and any cloth furniture has to be wrapped fully in plastic before it reaches the curb or the crew will leave it. Call the hauler Cali Carting at 201-991-5400 with collection questions.
Appliances and covered electronics need their own route
White goods such as air conditioners, dishwashers, grills, refrigerators, stoves and washing machines are collected on an appointment that you book with Public Works at 973-365-5654, and they never go in the garbage or recycling container. Televisions and small electronics take a third route and are picked up on your street cleaning day, kept apart from paper, bottles, glass and plastics.
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.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Passaic?+
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.
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?+

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.
Will Passaic take a couch at the curb?+
Yes. Home furniture goes out with the regular garbage collection, two items per pickup, and the city names mattresses, home furniture and box springs as the allowed items.
