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.

Larger household items are collected once a week on the first garbage day of the week, and the published list covers appliances, furniture, mattresses, water heaters, computers and reasonably sized televisions.
City cost & eligibility
Heavy pick up is part of the residential collection service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax, and no separate per-item charge is published. Confirm the item and the pickup day with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Put the item out on the first garbage day of the week. Garbage runs twice a week, so the heavy day is the earlier of the household's two collection days.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the published conditions: carpet cut to five feet or less, rolled and under 50 pounds and dry before it goes out; swing sets pulled apart and cut down to five feet or less with a total of 300 pounds or less; doors cut in half. Projection televisions, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron, chemicals and construction material are refused.
Furniture is named in the city's heavy pick up list and goes out on the first garbage day of the week.
City cost & eligibility
No per-piece furniture charge is published; the item rides the residential service that is billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. Confirm the piece with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Put the furniture out on the first garbage day of the week, curbside before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece light enough for a two-person crew to handle by hand, because the trucks have no lifters, and keep it clear of the garbage cans and the recycling bin. A cabinet or other piece that counts as construction material is refused.
Mattresses are named in the city's heavy pick up list, so a mattress goes out on the first garbage day of the week.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress charge is published; the piece rides the residential service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. Confirm the item and the day with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Place the mattress at the curb on the first garbage day of the week, before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat, and keep it clear of the garbage cans so the crew can reach it. A bed frame or headboard is not named on the list, so ask about it when you confirm the pickup.
Appliances ride the weekly heavy pick up, and a water heater is accepted once the water has been removed. A refrigerator or freezer needs its Freon removed and tagged first.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance charge is published for the heavy pick up, which is part of the residential service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax. A technician's charge for removing Freon from a cooling appliance is separate and is not published by the city.
When & how
Put the appliance at the curb on the first garbage day of the week, before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove the water from a water heater before it goes out. For a refrigerator or freezer, have a licensed technician remove the Freon and place a tag or sticker on the unit, because the city will only collect a tagged appliance.
A refrigerator or freezer is collected with heavy garbage only after a licensed technician has removed the Freon and tagged the appliance.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection charge for a cooling appliance, but the technician who removes the Freon may charge for that work, and the city does not publish that amount, so arrange and confirm the tag before the unit goes out.
When & how
Have the appliance tagged first, then set it out on the first garbage day of the week before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it upright outside, and do not put it at the curb until the Freon has been removed and the sticker is on the appliance, because an untagged unit will not be collected.
A reasonably sized television and a computer ride the heavy pick up, projection televisions do not, and the city points at the two Texas recycling programmes and a paid per-pound drop-off for everything else.
City cost & eligibility
Televisions within a reasonable size and computers are part of the heavy pick up with no separate charge published, while the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland charges Friendswood residents a fee per pound for electronics-type items such as keyboards, monitors and hard drives. Confirm the fee on 281-489-2795 before loading.
When & how
Put a television or computer out on the first garbage day of the week, or take electronics-type material to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, whose hours the city does not publish.
Get it ready
Keep a projection television off the curb because the city refuses it, wipe personal data from a computer before handover, and treat the drop-off as a paid route rather than a free one because the city states there is a fee per pound there.
No Friendswood page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out with the heavy pick up.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine charge and does not name one on the heavy pick up list, so confirm the machine and any conditions with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810 first.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it out on the first garbage day of the week if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable by hand, keep the machine clear of the cans and the bin, and keep it out of the construction material pile because that material is refused.
Heavy pick up rides the first garbage day of the week
Friendswood collects larger items once a week on the first garbage day of the household's two collection days. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters with the water removed, computers and reasonably sized televisions are all on the list, while carpet, swing sets and doors have their own cutting and weight conditions, and construction material, tires, chemicals and projection televisions are refused.
The collection trucks have no lifters, so every bag, can and heavy item is handled by the crew. Garbage bags and cans have to stay at 50 pounds or less and containers at 32 gallons or less, the recycling bin holds only what fits with extra material in a clear bag, and a heavy item that cannot be managed by hand has to be cut down or taken another route.
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.
