You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
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.
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 clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
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 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.
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.
First item / additional item

Bulk junk removal in Durham: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Pride Disposal collects garbage every week in Durham on an assigned collection day using the cart the household subscribes to, and recycling is regulated by Metro.
Pride collects bulky and oversized material at the home by appointment for a fee, and the examples it publishes are a couch, a mattress, a fridge, a washing machine, a lawnmower, furniture, a television, a tire, a toilet, a recliner and a water heater.
A couch, a recliner and other furniture are among the bulky items Pride names, so the piece leaves on an appointment rather than on the weekly route.
A mattress or box spring is named among Pride's bulky examples, and the Metro Central transfer station in Portland also takes up to four mattress or box spring units per customer per day free of charge.
A fridge, a washing machine and a water heater are among Pride's bulky examples, and Metro Central takes metal appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens, washers and dryers, with appliances that contain coolant charged at the published rate.
Metro Central is an Oregon E-Cycles location that takes desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and computer mice free of charge, with a limit of seven items per day per person, and a television can also ride a Pride bulky pickup.
Pride offers temporary containers and drop boxes for a project, and Metro Central takes construction material as garbage at its published rates, with clean separated wood charged at a lower rate.
Exercise equipment is not named among the bulky examples Pride publishes, so the machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it is set out.
Pride provides a 60 gallon yard debris cart that also takes food scraps, with additional carts available for a monthly fee and extra material allowed only in containers of 32 gallons or less weighing no more than 60 pounds.
Household hazardous waste is free for households through Metro's collection events and drop boxes, and it never goes in the garbage cart or the yard debris cart.
The handoff matters
Pride asks that receptacles be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and the city publishes a 2026 garbage and recycling schedule while Washington County runs a tool that returns the collection day and company for an address.

Book the pickup with Pride on 503-625-6177, describe the item so the fee can be quoted, and put the piece out on the day the company gives. A drop box or a temporary container is the better route for a whole house clear out.
