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.

Bulk items are collected weekly on a separate truck with garbage and yard waste, and the city publishes a short refusal list that sends those loads to the county landfill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single family homes on public residential streets with Waste Management service, where bulk items are included in the quarterly rate for garbage and recycling; condominiums and apartments on private roads are outside the programme and must arrange their own service.
When & how
Bulk items go out with the weekly collection on the resident's regular day, no later than 7:00 A.M. and no earlier than 3:00 P.M. the day before, and cans and containers come off the curb before 7 A.M. the day after. Garbage, bulk and yard waste arrive on separate vehicles between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., so a pile is left out until the bulk truck reaches it.
Get it ready
Group the bulk pile away from the cart and the recycling bin, keep the pile inside what a crew can lift safely, and keep tires, hazardous materials, yard waste, construction and demolition debris, large auto parts and dead animals out of it, because all of those are refused. Yard waste has its own limits, with 12 units a week through the third week of October and 25 units a week afterwards, each unit under 35 pounds.
Out by 7 a.m. on the collection day and back in the next morning
Material goes to the curb no later than 7:00 A.M. on the collection day and no earlier than 3:00 P.M. the day before, and cans and containers come off the curb before 7 A.M. the day after. Garbage, bulk items and yard waste arrive on separate vehicles that can come at different times between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and there are no callbacks, so a pile stays out until the right truck reaches it. A holiday that falls on a weekday pushes the whole schedule one day, while a weekend holiday does not.
Refrigerant appliances need the tag before the truck
An air conditioner or refrigerator is collected only after the CFCs inside it have been removed and the unit has been properly tagged by a certified technician, so the service work has to be arranged before the appliance goes to the curb. Once it is tagged the unit rides the weekly bulk collection at no extra item charge. A household that prefers to haul its own appliance takes it to the Lake County Solid Waste Facility, where appliances are charged per unit.
A county trip has its own counters and its own hours
The Lake County Solid Waste Facility at 2039 Blase Nemeth Road in Painesville takes household waste by the load or by weight, runs free mixed recycling bins and a free residential electronics drop-off, charges per television and monitor, and takes tires without rims at six maximum per trip. Universal waste, including paint, batteries, bulbs, cleaners and pool chemicals, is accepted only on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and only from residents, in original containers. The scale house is open Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with holiday closures published separately.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mentor.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Mentor?+
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?+
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.
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.
How does bulk item collection work in Mentor?+
Bulk items are collected every week on the same day as garbage and recycling, by a separate truck, as part of the quarterly residential service billed by Waste Management. Appliances, furniture and other large items that will not fit in a container are eligible, everything goes out by 7:00 A.M. and no earlier than 3:00 P.M. the day before, and there are no callbacks, so the pile stays out until the bulk truck arrives. Tires, hazardous materials, yard waste, construction and demolition debris, large auto parts and dead animals are refused, and refrigerant appliances need a certified CFC tag first.Official guidance
When are bulk items collected in Mentor?+
Every week, on the same day as garbage and recycling, by a separate truck that runs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Appliances, furniture and other large items that will not fit in a container are eligible at no extra item charge inside the quarterly residential service billed by Waste Management. Everything goes out no later than 7:00 A.M. and no earlier than 3:00 P.M. the day before collection, there are no callbacks, and a weekday holiday pushes the whole schedule one day.Official guidance
How do I get rid of construction debris in Mentor?+
Take it to the Lake County Solid Waste Facility, because the city refuses construction and demolition debris in the curbside bulk collection. The load has to be pre-approved and is charged at the same per ton rate as weighed waste generated inside Lake County, or at the car or pickup minimum for a smaller load. The county health district notes that Lake County has no licensed construction and demolition disposal facility of its own, so the county landfill handles the pre-approved loads.Official guidance
What does Mentor's curbside service cost?+
Garbage and recycling are billed at the published quarterly rate by Waste Management, and bulk items, yard waste and the weekly garbage collection are all inside that service rather than charged per item. Service covers single family homes on public residential streets, while condominiums and apartments on private roads are outside the programme and must arrange their own hauler. Waste Management customer service is at (866) 797-9018 and the city Public Works number is (440) 974-5781.Official guidance
