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

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Altoona: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Altoona publishes no curbside bulk item program for furniture, and the IRC recycling facility is a drop-off for recyclables and compost rather than household bulky waste.
Mattresses are refused at the IRC recycling and compost facility, and the City publishes no curbside mattress service, so a mattress needs a confirmed route first.
Exercise equipment has no published municipal route in Altoona, so it is confirmed with the collection provider or a hauler before set-out.
The handoff matters
Trash has to be in containers with lids and is collected weekly, and residents may move it to the curb no earlier than 6:00pm the evening before collection. Recycling goes in a separate container and stays dry, and larger items are handled through a confirmed route rather than left loose at the curb.
City resident responsibilities for trash and recyclingCurbside recycling collection rulesUse 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.
