Finish clearing the space
The last few things still deserve a pickup.
You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.

The clear-out can be finished.
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.

Bulky items are collected every week on the regular pickup day, next to the blue container, inside a curbside volume allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet and up to six 35-gallon bags.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. Extra trash in large contractor bags is not collected, and anything beyond the volume allowance has to be handled another way.
When & how
Put the load next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, and Christmas trees are picked up every week as well.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet and to no more than six 35-gallon bags at 35 pounds each. Cut carpet and wood to four-foot lengths, roll or bundle them under 35 pounds each and remove or hammer down the nails. Break boxes down to four feet or less and tie them, and do not place items inside boxes. Wrap mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture in plastic, and keep electronics, hazardous products and construction material out of the pile.
Furniture and appliances too large for the container go next to the blue trash container on your regular collection day, and bulk material is collected every week rather than by appointment. Put it out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before, keep it inside a curbside allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet, and do not use large contractor bags because they are not collected.
Cut carpet and wood into four-foot lengths, roll or bundle them under 35 pounds each, and remove or hammer down nails and screws. Break boxes down to four feet or less and tie them, and never put items inside a box. Wrap mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture completely in plastic before they go to the curb.
A refrigerator or freezer needs the doors removed and the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, and any other Freon-bearing appliance such as an air conditioner or dehumidifier needs the same treatment. The county lists certified recovery options including SA Recycling Elyria at 440-322-1333, Sugar Ridge Recycling at 440-322-0597 and Dye's Appliance in Lorain at 440-246-3937. The county collection center will not take appliances other than microwaves.
Paint, thinner, solvents, gasoline, propane tanks under 33 pounds, pesticides, pool chemicals, mercury devices, lead acid and rechargeable batteries and used oil go to the county collection center as household hazardous waste, and alkaline batteries belong in the regular trash. Passenger tires are free for Lorain County residents at the collection center in Elyria and at the New Tire Site at 2601 East 28th Street in Lorain, operated by the city on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., where tires must be stacked in the trailer. Proof of residency is required and tires over a 20-inch rim are refused.
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.
City of Lorain collection through Republic Services, with the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District
City weekly curbside bulky collection
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, televisions and other oversized household items from a city address.
Cost & conditions
No charge. No separate per-item charge, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service billed on the city utility account. Extra trash in contractor bags is not collected, and anything past the curbside allowance has to be handled another way.
Arrange it
Set the load next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, so nothing has to be booked.
One bulky load of about five feet by five feet by five feet, or up to six 35-gallon bags at 35 pounds each. Mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture must be wrapped in plastic, Freon-bearing appliances must have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, and electronics, household hazardous waste, construction material, scrap metal, tires and yard waste do not belong in the pile.
Excess waste and project material that will not fit the curbside allowance or that the county collection center refuses.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate, no accepted-material list and no hours for this landfill, and neither does the county's page for it. Call the landfill before you load and confirm the current gate rate and what it will take.
Arrange it
The city names the landfill at 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin as a way to handle excess trash, and a private dumpster company is the city's other suggestion.
Nothing about the site is published beyond the address in the city's excess trash note, so hours, accepted material, load limits and the rate all have to be confirmed by phone before a trip.
Most bulky material in Lorain does not need a trip or an appointment: furniture, mattresses and appliances go next to the blue container on the regular weekly pickup, provided the mattress and upholstered pieces are wrapped in plastic and any Freon-bearing appliance has had the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician. Electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and passenger tires go to the Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria, open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and passenger tires are also free at the city's New Tire Site on East 28th Street on Tuesdays. The center refuses furniture, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment and yard waste, so project material and anything oversized goes to a private container or to the landfill the city names on Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin.
