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

A mattress is on the city's acceptable bulky list, so it goes out with the rotating bulk truck or to a Refuse Collection Center.
Furniture is named on the city's acceptable bulky list and on the Refuse Collection Center list.
Heavy appliances are on the city's acceptable bulky list and accepted at the Refuse Collection Centers, while the city landfill expressly refuses them.
Televisions are named on the city's acceptable bulky list, so they leave with the bulk truck rather than through the electronics route.
Computer-related electronics are accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which is free to Hamilton County residents, and they are refused at the Refuse Collection Centers.
Chattanooga runs no municipal route for construction and demolition material: the curbside bulk list, the Refuse Collection Centers and the city landfill all refuse it.
Neither the bulky list, the Refuse Collection Center list nor the landfill names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed with the city before it goes out.
The city's bulky route sweeps each area on a rotating schedule, and a property may use it twelve times in any twelve months before the centres become the other option.
The handoff matters
Garbage is collected weekly and has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, with everything in tightly secured bags inside the automated container. The wheels and handles face the curb with the arrows pointing to the street, the container sits within two feet of the curb, at least three feet from any obstruction and five feet from parked cars, and it comes back off the curb after the collection day. Garbage is collected on all holidays, with anything missed taken the following Saturday.
Garbage collectionBrush, bulky trash, bagged yard waste and leaves are collected by different trucks and go to different disposal sites, so they have to sit in separate piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. Bulky material stays at least five feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other stationary objects, sits near the street in front of the residence, and must not block the roadway, sidewalk, ditch or catch basins, cover water meters, sit under low-hanging wires or go in an alleyway.
Brush and bulk trash collectionUse 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.

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.
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.
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.

Mattresses are on the city's acceptable bulky list, so the rotating bulk truck takes one from the curb, or the household can take it to a Refuse Collection Center. Either way the city caps how often it is used, at twelve bulky collections per property in a twelve-month period or twelve centre visits in a calendar year, and businesses, apartments and landlords do not qualify for the curbside route.Official guidance
Furniture is on the acceptable list for Chattanooga's curbside bulk collection, which runs on a rotating schedule through each area of the city, and it is also accepted at the Refuse Collection Centers. The curbside pile has to be out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, kept separate from garbage and brush, and a property is limited to twelve bulky collections in a twelve-month period.Official guidance
Heavy appliances are on the acceptable bulky list, so they go out with the rotating bulk truck or to one of the Refuse Collection Centers, which also take microwaves. The city landfill is not an option, because it expressly refuses bulky items such as appliances and furniture and is free only for household garbage from a city resident's primary residence.Official guidance
Televisions are named on the acceptable bulky list, so they go out with the rotating bulk collection rather than with the weekly garbage, and they must not be mixed into the household garbage because that has to be bagged inside the automated container. The household hazardous waste facility is the wrong door for a television, because it takes computer-related electronics and lists non-computer electronics as not acceptable.Official guidance
Computer-related electronics are accepted at Chattanooga's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which the city describes as free to any Hamilton County resident, and the facility is open Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a state-issued driver's licence required and a household limit of fifteen gallons or 150 pounds. The Refuse Collection Centers refuse computer electronics, and the facility refuses non-computer electronics such as televisions.Official guidance
There is no city route for it. Building materials and lumber are on the bulky not-acceptable list, concrete, dirt, rock, brick, block, roofing, insulation and tile are not acceptable at the Refuse Collection Centers, and the City Landfill states that city residents may not use it for construction and demolition waste. The private landfill next to the city site, operated by Birchwood II, LLC, is the route the city names, and it sets its own terms.Official guidance
Nothing in the city's bulky list, its Refuse Collection Center list or its landfill guidance names exercise equipment, so call Chatt311 on (423) 643-6311 first and confirm the route. A machine that the city treats as bulky would go out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, and anything going to a centre has to fit the standard truck bed load and the visit limits.Official guidance
Dedicated trucks sweep each area of the city on a rotating schedule, collect Monday to Friday, and take brush, bulky trash, bagged yard waste and leaves separately, so everything has to be in its own pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. A property gets twelve bulky collections in any twelve months, businesses, apartments and landlords do not qualify, and a bigger clean-out goes to a Refuse Collection Center instead.Official guidance
Chatt311 answers on (423) 643-6311 and the city also publishes an online day lookup and a request portal. Garbage is collected weekly and has to be at the curb by 7 a.m., the city collects on all holidays and picks up anything missed the following Saturday, and the bulky and brush crews follow a rotating area schedule rather than the garbage day.Official guidance
A Chattanooga household may make twelve visits a calendar year and bring eight bags a visit, and the load cannot exceed a standard truck bed. The driver needs a licence showing city residency and valid Hamilton County tags, contractors, businesses and landlords are not allowed, and trucks larger than a standard pickup, tandem axle trailers and dump bodies are turned away.Official guidance
To the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which the city describes as free to any Hamilton County resident and which takes residential material only from Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A state-issued driver's licence proving Tennessee residency is required, the load is capped at fifteen gallons or 150 pounds per household, and latex and acrylic paint, ammunition, explosives, medical and radioactive waste and commercial hazardous material are refused.Official guidance
