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.

Lancaster has two bulky routes: the city's weekly program takes one oversized item per household, and the county authority takes self-hauled bulky loads at a flat single item price or by weight.
City cost & eligibility
The city's one weekly oversized item is part of the quarterly residential collection rate, printed as $85.80 a quarter for 2025, with no separate fee published. Self-hauling to the county authority costs $15 for a single item under 200 pounds, or $100 a ton with a $40 minimum per visit up to 680 pounds at the transfer station and 800 pounds elsewhere. Confirm the current city rate at (717) 291-4744.
When & how
Set the oversized item out on the normal collection day after 6 p.m. the night before, with that week's trash limited to four containers, or deliver the load to a county authority facility during operating hours and pay by card.
Get it ready
Keep a bulky load under the weight two people can lift for the city route, tarp any open load for the county route, and keep hazardous waste, electronics, white goods and yard waste in their own streams rather than in the bulky pile.
Tires are accepted at county authority facilities at a published per tire price, with car and motorcycle tires charged separately from truck tires and a limit of 15 tires.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per car or motorcycle tire, up to 15 tires, at a county authority facility, with truck tires charged at $15 each. Lancaster County residents self-hauling the tires. Payment is by credit or debit card only, with no cash or checks, and the load must be tarped if it is open.
When & how
Take the tires to a county authority facility during operating hours, and pay at the scale house by card.
Get it ready
Count the tires before you go, because the limit is 15 and the price changes once a tire is a truck tire rather than a car or motorcycle tire. Keep tires out of the curbside trash and out of the oversized item set-out.
One oversized item a week, four containers with it
The city's weekly program takes one oversized item per household, which covers sofas, stuffed chairs, furniture, mattress and box spring sets and a roll of carpet no wider than four feet. Setting one out limits that week to four trash containers, the item may be no heavier than what two people can lift into a truck, and everything goes out after 6 p.m. the evening before collection and comes back in by 8 p.m. the day of collection.
A load that cannot go curbside goes to a county authority facility, where open loads must be tarped, large items must be secured, and the facilities accept only credit or debit cards. Visitors must wear closed-toed sturdy shoes and a high-visibility vest, which can be bought at the scale house for a fee. A single item under 200 pounds is charged a flat fee, household trash is charged by weight with a minimum per visit, and construction and demolition material has its own rate and size limits.
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.

White goods such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are the exception and need the city's monthly program with a tag bought at the Treasury Office.
