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 waste is collected on a city route that sweeps each section of town about every eight weeks, and a drop-off center is open in between.
City cost & eligibility
$5.41 for the published monthly Operation Pride charge for residential customers, which funds the bulky waste collection and the drop-off center. Residential dwellings on city water service inside the city limits. Commercial businesses, contractors, vacant rental property and unoccupied dwellings are not eligible, and the program covers one dump truck load at a time.
When & how
One scheduled sweep about every eight weeks, plus a drop-off center open Monday through Saturday, so residents can deliver bulky items rather than waiting for the route.
Get it ready
Keep all bulky waste within ten feet of the curb, pavement edge or road in an accessible open area, put it out no earlier or later than the weekend before the scheduled Monday and by 7 a.m. on that Monday, keep it away from power lines and low branches, and never place it on a gas meter, manhole, sewer clean out, storm sewer or water meter. Bulky waste may not be left in an alley, a yard easement or a driveway, and debris left out for extended periods can be removed by the city at the owner's expense.
Furniture is named on the Operation Pride allowed list and is collected on the bulky route or taken to the drop-off center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is covered by the monthly Operation Pride charge the household already pays, with no separate pickup fee published. The allowance is one dump truck load per collection, and commercial or vacant property material is not eligible.
When & how
Put furniture out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the Operation Pride service week for the section, or take it to the drop-off center during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Keep each piece together as furniture rather than mixing it with garbage, place the pile within ten feet of the curb in an accessible open area, and keep it clear of meters, manholes, storm drains and power lines. Pieces left out for an extended period after the route can be removed by the city at the owner's expense.
A mattress is not named on the Operation Pride list, so the piece is confirmed with the sanitation department first.
City cost & eligibility
No retained city page names a mattress or prints a bedding price. Operation Pride accepts furniture and household goods and publishes no per item charge beyond the monthly program rate, so call the sanitation department on 580-226-8855 and confirm whether a mattress or box spring counts as accepted furniture.
When & how
Confirm the piece first, then place it out for the Operation Pride service week or take it to the drop-off center during posted hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress whole and separate from household trash, and keep the box spring with it if the department treats a set as one accepted item. Keep any wet or soiled bedding out of the pile until the department has confirmed the route.
An appliance without refrigerant and with a removal certification is accepted by Operation Pride, and a unit holding freon is refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance without freon and with a removal certification is named on the Operation Pride allowed list and is covered by the monthly program charge, while an appliance containing freon is refused by the same program.
When & how
Put the prepared appliance out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the Operation Pride service week, or take it to the drop-off center during posted hours.
Get it ready
Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician and keep the certification with the unit, because the program requires the removal certification for an appliance without freon and refuses a unit that still contains it. Empty the appliance, secure or remove the door, and keep it within ten feet of the curb in an accessible open area.
The city pages name batteries as accepted bulky material but say nothing about televisions or computers, so the route is confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
No retained page names televisions, computers or electronics, and no city electronics fee is published. Call the sanitation department on 580-226-8855 and ask whether the item belongs in the Operation Pride pile, the drop-off center or another program before it is set out.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then use the Operation Pride service week or the drop-off center as directed.
Get it ready
Keep electronic items out of the polycart, delete personal data before handover, and remove any battery that comes out easily, because batteries are named on the accepted list while a device that still holds one may not be.
Wood and lumber are accepted by Operation Pride, while remodel material and demolition from a contractor are refused and go to the regional landfill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Brush and grass, trees under twelve inches in diameter, limbs and trimmings and wood and lumber are named on the Operation Pride allowed list and are covered by the monthly program charge. Remodel material from houses demolished by owners or contractors, material from unoccupied dwellings or vacant rental property and trees twelve inches or larger are refused.
When & how
Put the accepted material out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the Operation Pride service week, or arrange a haul to the regional landfill when the material is a contractor project load.
Get it ready
Keep trees under twelve inches in diameter and cut or bundle limbs so the overhead grappler can lift them, and keep the pile away from power lines and low branches. Any business or contractor involved in remodeling, building or construction has to haul its own waste to the regional landfill, and illegal dumping is investigated by the code enforcement officer with fines under the city ordinances.
Exercise machines are not named on the allowed list, so the piece is confirmed with the sanitation department.
City cost & eligibility
No retained page names an exercise machine and no price covers one. Call the sanitation department on 580-226-8855 and ask whether the machine can go out as household goods or furniture on the Operation Pride route.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then place it out for the service week or take it to the drop-off center.
Get it ready
Take off the loose weights and the console and keep the frame together so the piece can be handled as one item by the grappler, and keep it clear of power lines and low branches at the curb.
Tires are accepted by Operation Pride within an annual limit, and commercial equipment tires are refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Tires are named on the Operation Pride allowed list with a limit of four per residence per calendar year, covered by the monthly program charge. Commercial truck and tractor tires are refused.
When & how
Put the tires out with the bulky pile by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the Operation Pride service week, or take them to the drop-off center.
Get it ready
Keep the count at or under four tires a residence for the calendar year and keep the pile within ten feet of the curb in an accessible open area. Tires are never placed in the polycart, where non household waste is refused.
Operation Pride sweeps each section of the city about every eight weeks, and no appointment is needed. Keep all bulky waste within ten feet of the curb, pavement edge or road in an accessible open area, have it out no earlier or later than the weekend before the scheduled Monday and by 7 a.m. that Monday, and keep it away from power lines and low branches so the overhead grappler can reach it. Nothing goes on a gas meter, manhole, sewer clean out, storm sewer or water meter, and bulky waste may not sit in an alley, a yard easement or a driveway.
Leaving bulky items out for an extended period makes the city look unsightly and defeats the purpose of Operation Pride, so the code enforcement officer contacts anyone violating the ordinance and asks them to remove the debris. If the property owner does not comply, the city removes the material at the owner's expense, with a minimum charge per load plus an administration fee added to the water bill.
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 Ardmore.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Ardmore?+
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 the bulky collection work?+
Operation Pride runs a scheduled route through each section of the city about every eight weeks and no appointment is needed. Residents put material within ten feet of the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of their service week and the crew collects within five working days.Official guidance
Can bulky items be dropped off instead?+

Is furniture accepted by Operation Pride?+
Yes. Furniture and household goods are both named on the allowed list, along with brush and grass, wood and lumber, appliances without refrigerant and up to four tires a residence each year.Official guidance
Where does furniture go on collection week?+
Within ten feet of the curb, pavement edge or road in an accessible open area, out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the service week. It may not be placed on a gas meter, manhole, sewer clean out, storm sewer or water meter, in an alley, on a yard easement or in a driveway, and a parked vehicle blocking the pile stops the pickup.Official guidance
Will a mattress be collected in Ardmore?+
The published allowed list names furniture and household goods rather than bedding itself, so a mattress has to be confirmed with the sanitation department before it is set out. The drop-off center at the Operation Pride site is the alternative if the piece is accepted.Official guidance
How should bedding be prepared if it is accepted?+
Keep it dry and whole, place it within ten feet of the curb in an accessible open area, and have it out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the Operation Pride service week for the section.Official guidance

Confirm the piece with the sanitation department before it goes out.Official guidance
