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.

Rubbish, recycling and yard waste are collected once a week, and bulk garbage is taken on the same rubbish day. A household may also put out six extra bags or three extra 32 gallon cans beyond the carts.
City cost & eligibility
The rubbish pickup fee established by Parma Ordinance 131-16 is collected through the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office and the city publishes no amount, so confirm the charge on 440-885-8191. Extra cart rentals are priced separately in their own record.
When & how
Material goes within three feet of the kerb by 7 a.m. on the weekly collection day and may be set out the day before, but never before noon. A weekday holiday delays collection by one day, while a holiday on a weekend causes no delay.
Get it ready
Use the brown cart for trash, the green cart for recycling and keep yard waste out of the green cart, with yard waste in the brown cart, paper bags or plastic lawn bags that weigh no more than 40 pounds. Break down large cardboard beside the cart, and keep batteries, oil based paint, motor oil, tires, pool chemicals, propane tanks, hot ashes, car parts and syringes out of the carts entirely.
Refuse, yard waste and bulk trash go within three feet of the kerb by 7 a.m. on the collection day. Material may be set out the day before, but never before noon.
The brown Rumpke cart takes regular trash and the smaller green cart takes recycling, with six extra bags or three extra 32 gallon cans allowed beyond the carts. Yard waste goes in the brown cart, paper yard waste bags or plastic lawn bags and never in the green cart, at no more than 40 pounds per bag or bundle.
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.

Rent an extra Rumpke cart
A household that regularly fills its waste or recycling cart before collection day.
Cost & conditions
$3 per additional waste or recycling cart, as published in the city's linked Rumpke cart FAQ from the rollout, which states no billing period. Parma residents renting extra carts directly from Rumpke on 800-828-8171. The published figure comes from the rollout FAQ, so confirm the current rate and any size swap charge before ordering.
Arrange it
Call Rumpke on 800-828-8171 to rent a cart, any size, for waste or recycling.
The same FAQ notes that cart size swaps after the rollout carried a separate service fee, so confirm both the rental and any swap cost with Rumpke rather than relying on the rollout figures.
Parma's own self haul network is thin by design: the city discontinued its drop-off at the Parma Service Garage, so the published routes outside the weekly collection belong to the county and to retailers. The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District's item index sends appliances to a scrap metal yard or a city bulky day, small non working appliances to Best Buy, mattresses to a city bulky pickup or a transfer station because there is no local mattress recycling, unusable furniture to the trash and usable furniture to donation, televisions to retailers who price by size or to the district's seasonal fee events, tires to the retailer at purchase because there are no free options, and construction and demolition debris to private facilities. Bulbs and rechargeable batteries have retail take back routes, pressurised cylinders go to propane dealers, and unwanted medication goes to the police department's drop box. Parma itself holds special Saturday round-ups in 2026, with the Service Garage on 440-885-8980 as the contact.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Parma.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Parma?+
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 much extra waste can a Parma household put out?+
Six extra bags, plastic or paper, or three extra 32 gallon garbage cans in addition to the carts. Anything larger goes on the tree lawn as a bulk item, and boxes that do not fit the cart have to be broken down, folded and set beside it.Official guidance
How does Parma want yard waste set out?+
Yard waste goes in the brown cart, in brown paper yard waste bags or in plastic lawn bags, and never in the green recycling cart. Collections run year round on the regular pickup day, and filled bags or bundled branches may not weigh more than 40 pounds.Official guidance
Who collects rubbish in Parma?+
Rumpke is Parma's waste and recycling company, collecting garbage, recycling and yard waste once a week with a brown cart for trash and a smaller green cart for recycling.

Does Parma charge for rubbish collection?+
Parma Ordinance 131-16 allows for a rubbish pickup fee collected through the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office. The city names the fee and the office but publishes no amount on its refuse page, so residents should confirm the charge and how it is billed on 440-885-8191.Official guidance
What happens to Parma collection on holidays?+
Collections are not made on the holidays the city lists. A holiday that falls on a weekday delays collection by one day for the rest of that week, while a holiday that lands on a Saturday or Sunday causes no delay at all.Official guidance
