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

Furniture is named as a bulk item collected with yard trimmings rather than in the garbage cart.
A mattress is not named on any city page, so the yard trimmings route has to confirm it.
Appliances are not named on a city route, and the electronics drop-off covers items that plug in.
Electronics are barred from the landfill by state law and go to the city drop-off at Public Works instead of the curb.
Building material is accepted with yard trimmings but is subject to a charge the city does not publish.
Exercise equipment is not named on any city page, so the route has to be confirmed.
Bulk items share the yard trimmings stream, separate from the weekly roll cart, with building material charged.
The handoff matters
Roll carts are serviced weekly and are for household garbage only, and the city collects only from the containers it furnishes, not from personal containers. The ordinance requires carts to be removed from the curb no later than 7:30 p.m. on the day of collection, and carts should sit three feet from trees, mailboxes, vehicles and the recycling cart because the fleet is a mix of automated and semi-automated trucks.

Loose or bagged leaves and branches under six feet are accepted, bricks, concrete and other building material must be separated from yard waste, tree removal and lot clearing are also charged, and yard trimmings and bulk items stay out of the roll cart.

Yes. The city names furniture among the bulk items that ride the yard trimmings stream, which is collected separately from the weekly roll cart, and it says to keep yard trimmings and bulk items out of the cart. The city publishes a charge only for building material, tree removal and lot clearing, so ordinary furniture goes out with the yard trimmings and any question goes to 803-545-3800.Official guidance
Mattresses are not named on the city's yard trimmings bulk list, which covers furniture, clothing and rigid plastics, and no mattress programme or fee is published, so call Solid Waste at 803-545-3800 and confirm whether the piece rides the yard trimmings stream before putting it out.Official guidance

The yard trimmings stream lists furniture, clothing and rigid plastics, and the electronics drop-off accepts computers, monitors, televisions and anything that plugs in, so call Solid Waste at 803-545-3800 and confirm the route for a refrigerator, stove or washer before it goes out.Official guidance

Exercise equipment is not named on the city's bulk list, which covers furniture, clothing and rigid plastics, so call Solid Waste at 803-545-3800 and confirm whether the machine rides the yard trimmings route before putting it out, and keep batteries out of the pile so they can go to the drop-off.Official guidance
