The clear-out can be finished.
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.
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.

Alongside the 96-gallon cart, any four items mixed or matched from bundled waste, green waste and heavy trash are collected. Heavy trash is anything too big for a cart, including household appliances and furniture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the district's residential collection at a Dickinson address on the twice weekly route. The published fee schedule covers the base cart at $24.00 per unit per month and extra carts at $9.50 each per month, and the four extra items carry no published extra charge.
When & how
Put the four items out with the cart on the regular collection day. Service runs twice a week in three zones on a Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday schedule.
Get it ready
Keep each item to the published heavy trash and bundle limits, bag loose trash so nothing blows away, and keep hazardous material, electronics, tires, paint and cooking oil off the street because they are excluded from the AmeriWaste route.
Furniture is named in the district's definition of heavy trash, so a couch or dresser counts as one of the four extra items on a collection day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential collection at a Dickinson address, as one of the four extra items allowed alongside the 96-gallon cart.
When & how
Put the furniture out on the regular collection day along with the cart, and keep the total to four extra items across heavy trash, bundles and green waste.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of the cart, the street lane and any obstruction, remove cushions or loose parts, and do not put household chemicals, electronics or tires out with it.
The district defines heavy trash by size rather than naming a mattress, so the set has to be confirmed with AmeriWaste before it is set out as one of the four extra items.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rule or mattress price is published. Heavy trash is defined as items too big for a cart with appliances and furniture as the examples, so call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 and confirm whether the mattress and box spring count as heavy trash before setting them out.
When & how
Call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200, then put the set out on the regular collection day only if it is confirmed as heavy trash.
Get it ready
Keep the set dry and out of the cart, keep it clear of the street lane and the mailboxes, and do not put it out with chemicals, electronics or tires.
Household appliances are named heavy trash, and a refrigerator or freezer is only taken with a tag proving the refrigerant was removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential collection as one of the four extra items alongside the 96-gallon cart, with a cooling unit accepted only when it carries the refrigerant-removal tag.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the regular collection day with the cart, and have the refrigerant tag in place before a refrigerator or freezer goes to the street.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove or secure the doors so nothing can be trapped, and arrange the refrigerant-removal tag through a qualified technician for a refrigerator or freezer.
Televisions, computers and monitors are expressly excluded from the AmeriWaste collection and are routed to the district's household hazardous waste alternative in Pearland.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free of charge at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center in Pearland, where the district says household hazardous waste may be disposed of at no charge on presentation of a Texas ID and a WCID1 water bill.
When & how
Call the Stella Roberts Recycling Center on 281-489-2795 before travelling to 5800 Magnolia Parkway in Pearland, and keep the devices off the street and out of the cart until then.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before the device leaves the house, keep the screens intact, and never put a television, computer or monitor at the curb because the district prohibits it.
Exercise equipment is not named in the heavy trash definition, so the machine has to be confirmed with AmeriWaste before it counts as one of the four extra items.
City cost & eligibility
No item rule or price covers exercise equipment. Call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 and ask whether the machine counts as heavy trash inside the four item allowance, or whether it needs a special pickup.
When & how
Call 281-585-3200 before the machine goes out, and use the regular collection day only if AmeriWaste confirms it as heavy trash.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when you call, take it down as far as it will come apart, remove the console and any battery pack, and keep the pieces clear of the cart and the street lane.
The district's garbage rules do not address construction or renovation debris, and the only published instruction is to call AmeriWaste for a special pickup when debris does not meet the collection requirements.
City cost & eligibility
No construction rate or accepted list is published. The green waste sheet tells residents to call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 to schedule a special pickup for debris that does not meet the requirements, so confirm acceptance and price there before the material goes out.
When & how
Call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 to arrange a special pickup, and do not put construction material out with the cart or the four item allowance until it is confirmed.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the cart and off the street, keep hazardous material, liquids and chemicals separate, and confirm the load size, the acceptance and the price before transport if you plan to self-haul.
The AmeriWaste cart is the only container serviced, and it goes into the street by 7 a.m. with the wheels against the curb and the front facing the street. Leave two feet of space all round from fences, meters, poles, utility boxes, trees, shrubs, mailboxes and other containers, keep vehicles clear so the truck can manoeuvre, bag loose trash, and keep only garbage inside the cart with the lid closed. Carts are set out no earlier than the night before and returned to the property no later than the morning after collection.
Four extra items, and the excluded material stays off the street
Up to four items mixed or matched from bundles, green waste and heavy trash go out with the cart on the collection day. Bundles stay under five feet long, 18 inches in diameter and 50 pounds, green waste goes in bags no heavier than 50 pounds and no more than four bags or bundles, and heavy trash covers anything too big for a cart, with a refrigerant tag required on a refrigerator or freezer. Televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, paint, tires, motor oil, pool chemicals and cooking oil must never be put on the street.
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.

Use the four extra items on the regular collection day
A Dickinson household with furniture, an appliance, a mattress the operator confirms, or another item too big for the 96-gallon cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included with the district's residential collection, alongside the base cart billed at $24.00 per unit per month and extra carts at $9.50 each per month. No extra charge is published for the four items.
Arrange it
Put the items out with the cart on the twice weekly collection day for the zone, which runs Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday depending on the route.
Four items is the cap across bundles, green waste and heavy trash, and a cooling unit needs the refrigerant tag. Hazardous waste, electronics, tires, paint and cooking oil are excluded and have their own routes.
Galveston County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 with AmeriWaste Solutions
Arrange a special pickup with AmeriWaste
A Dickinson household with debris that does not meet the cart, bundle, green waste or heavy trash requirements, or with construction material the district does not address.
Cost & conditions
No special pickup rate is published. Call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 and confirm the acceptance and the price before the material goes out.
Arrange it
Call AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200 to schedule the special pickup, and keep the material off the street until it is confirmed.
The district publishes the special pickup instruction for debris that does not meet the collection requirements, and it does not publish a construction debris allowance at all, so acceptance is never automatic.
Dickinson's curbside system covers the routine clean-out. AmeriWaste, under the water district's contract, collects twice a week from a 96-gallon cart that is the only container serviced, and any four items mixed from bundles, green waste and heavy trash go out with it. Heavy trash means anything too big for the cart, including appliances and furniture, with a refrigerant tag required on a refrigerator or freezer. Bundles stay under five feet, 18 inches and 50 pounds and green waste is bagged under the same weight. Everything hazardous is off the street: televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, paint, tires, motor oil, pool chemicals and cooking oil are excluded, and the district routes household hazardous waste free of charge to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center in Pearland with a call ahead and proof of a WCID1 account. Cooking oil has its own free station on 45th Street, and the Texas City Biosphere 1 Recycling Center at 3301 Loop 197 North takes used motor oil, paper, cardboard, aluminium, steel, glass and plastics numbered 1 and 2 at no charge. Debris that does not meet the collection requirements needs a special pickup booked with AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
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.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
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.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
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.
