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 Knoxville: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
The convenience centers take bulky construction and demolition material from a resident's own project, collected separately from household trash in heavier duty brown compactors and disposed of at construction and demolition landfills. The county names mattresses, box springs, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces, doors, drywall, glass, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, sheetrock, tile, toilets and windows on the accepted list.
Couches, furniture and tables are named on the bulky material list that the convenience centers accept, so a household can self haul them within the daily load limit.
Mattresses and box springs are both named on the bulky material list that the convenience centers accept, so the county drop off route covers bedding directly.
The two appliance families take different routes. Washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters and microwaves are directed to the scrap metal piles at the convenience centers, while a device that contains refrigerant is refused at the centers and has to go to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station for a small fee, or to a clean out company.
Whole tires are banned from all Tennessee landfills under the state waste tire program, so the county runs a collection route at its centers. An individual may bring up to eight passenger and light truck or smaller tires a year to any convenience center and place them in the tire pile, a delivery between eight and twenty tires needs pre authorization, and a larger delivery or a business has to use a commercial waste tire disposal site.
The handoff matters
Load the vehicle with one standard pickup load per household per day and bring proof of Knox County residency, because a load from outside the county is refused. Separate the material before arrival: household garbage, recyclables, scrap metal, the brown bulky compactor, electronics and the tire pile all have their own place, and the operators inspect loads and turn away anything that does not belong. The centers are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Knoxville.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Box springs, mattresses, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces cut small, doors, drywall, sheetrock, glass pieces and sheets, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, tile, toilets, windows and other non hazardous material, up to one standard pickup load per household per day from the resident's own property. Block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, shingles, railroad ties, greenwaste and pieces longer than five feet are refused, along with anything from a business, a contractor or outside Knox County.Official guidance
One standard pickup load per household per day for non recyclable waste, and the county states that heaping loads and very large trailers will be turned away. Recycling is not limited, so a household may drop off as much recycling as it wishes. If a load is larger than the daily limit, the county directs the household to dispose of it the way a commercial generator does, which means a fee charging facility.Official guidance
To one of the seven Knox County convenience centers, where couches, furniture and tables are on the bulky material list and there is no fee for a resident bringing their own material within one standard pickup load per day. The load is inspected and goes into the heavier duty brown compactor used for bulky demolition material. Furniture from a business, a rental property or a paid contractor job is refused, and the centers are closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.Official guidance
Take it to one of the seven Knox County convenience centers. Mattresses and box springs are both named on the bulky material list, there is no fee for a resident bringing their own material within one standard pickup load per day, and the piece goes into the separate heavier duty compactor rather than the household garbage. The centers are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.Official guidance
To the scrap metal piles at a Knox County convenience center, because the county directs home appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters and microwaves to scrap metal. There is no fee for a resident bringing their own material within the daily load limit. If the appliance still contains refrigerant, it is refused at the centers and has to go to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street for a small fee, or to a clean out company.Official guidance
Because the unit contains refrigerant. The county states that devices which contained refrigerant are not accepted at the convenience centers, that the common examples are refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, ice makers, wine coolers and water coolers, and that federal rules on handling, evacuation and processing the refrigerant prevent the county from taking them from center users. The county lists three options: a scrap metal company that may buy the device for scrap value, the City of Knoxville transfer station at 1033 Elm Street where a small fee applies, or a waste clean out company.Official guidance
Up to eight passenger and light truck or smaller tires per year for an individual, placed in the tire pile at any convenience center. Between eight and twenty tires requires pre authorization to bring them to a center, and more than twenty tires, large commercial or agricultural tires, or tires from a business other than a tire retailer have to go to a commercial waste tire disposal site. Whole tires are banned from all landfills in Tennessee, and center operators record identifying information for large tire deliveries.Official guidance
Nothing for a Knox County resident bringing their own residential waste and recycling, because the county states there are no fees to use the convenience centers and that recycling is unlimited. Non recyclable household waste is limited to one standard pickup load per household per day. The routes that can cost money are a refrigerant containing device, which the centers refuse and which the county sends to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street where a small fee applies, or to a clean out company, and household hazardous waste, whose facility the county says the city operates without publishing its fees.Official guidance
Business, contractor, rental property and commercial generator material, any load above one standard pickup per household per day, block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles because they are too heavy or slow to unload, greenwaste which has to go to a greenwaste facility, boards or pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties, and waste from outside Knox County without a Knox plate or proof of residency. A device that contained refrigerant is refused too, and televisions are not recycled there because the county directs them into the blue trash containers.Official guidance
