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 Columbia: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Bulky items are collected on the same day as the trash route but every other week, and the pickup has to be called in the business day before.
Scrap metal is accepted free of charge at the Maury County transfer station on Lawson White Drive, while the city collection refuses metal items with electronics.
The city refuses anything charged with refrigerant, and the county convenience centres take empty refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners at no charge.
The handoff matters
Carts go to the street by 5:00 a.m. on the collection day with the white serial numbers facing the street and four feet of clearance around and between them. All trash has to be bagged inside the can and nothing is collected outside it, recycling is never bagged, and misuse of a recycling cart means the cart is confiscated. Containers come off the street once they are empty under the city ordinance.
