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 highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The handoff matters
Galveston splits its collection week by area: Monday serves the west end of the island to 7 1/2 Mile Road, Tuesday runs from 7 1/2 Mile Road to the east side of 51st Street, Wednesday covers the west side of 51st Street to the east side of 31st Street, and Thursday runs from the west side of 31st Street to the East End. Carts and materials need to be at the curb no later than 7 AM on the collection day, the cart may go out no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, and it comes back to its storage space by 10 p.m. on the day of pickup. Questions and cart requests go to Sanitation on 409-797-3630.
City sanitation page with the collection day map, the cart rules, the weekly bulk pickup and the freon tagging requirementHeavy items such as appliances, furniture and large piles of tree limbs and brush are collected on the regularly scheduled trash day, set at the curb or in the alley next to the trash cart, and a litter truck is sent through for them rather than a separate appointment. Freon appliances are the exception that stops the truck: the city requires the freon to be removed and tagged by a certified technician and the appliance to be red-tagged before Sanitation will remove it, so the work has to be arranged first and the tag has to be on the unit when it goes out.

It runs Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:45 AM, and it refuses combustible materials, compressed aerosol cans that are not empty, concrete, freon, gasoline, kerosene, paint and tires. The recycle center at 702 61st Street takes recyclables around the clock with staff from 8 AM to 4:45 PM, and it takes tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency along with cooking oils and grease. Each April the city adds free bulk pickup by area, free transfer station access from April 15 to 30, a shred day on April 18 and an oil and tire drop-off on April 18 and April 25 with up to five tires per household.

It goes on the regular trash day. The city now collects heavy items such as appliances, furniture and large piles of tree limbs and brush on the regularly scheduled collection day, with the material set at the curb or in the alley next to the trash cart and a litter truck sent through for it. Everything has to be out by 7 AM, and the cart itself may not go out before 5 p.m. the previous day.Official guidance
On the weekly bulk route with the trash. The city's cleanup page names mattresses among the large items it collects, and the sanitation page says heavy items such as appliances and furniture now ride the regular collection day with a litter truck, set at the curb or in the alley beside the cart and out by 7 AM. The April citywide cleanup also takes mattresses free on the published date for each section of the island.Official guidance
Yes, on the regular trash day. The city says bulk pickup now covers heavy items such as appliances and furniture, with the piece set at the curb or in the alley next to the cart and a litter truck sent through on the regularly scheduled day. Everything has to be out by 7 AM, and any appliance that holds freon needs the gas removed and tagged by a certified technician with a red tag before Sanitation can take it.Official guidance
The freon has to come out first, and the appliance has to be red-tagged. Galveston states that any appliance holding freon must have the freon removed and tagged by a certified technician and red-tagged before Sanitation can remove it. Once the tag is on, the unit rides the weekly bulk route with the rest of the heavy items on the regular collection day, out by 7 AM.Official guidance
That has to be confirmed, because no city page names televisions and Galveston publishes no electronics programme. The transfer station on Harborside Drive accepts items that will not fit in the garbage cart, which is where a large set would fall, but it refuses freon, paint, gasoline, kerosene, concrete, tires and combustible material. Call Sanitation on 409-797-3630 or the transfer station on 409-741-1258 before the set leaves the house.Official guidance
That has to be confirmed, because the city publishes no route for computers, printers or electronics. The recycle center on 61st Street takes recyclables, cooking oil and grease, and tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency, while the transfer station takes building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit the garbage cart. Call Sanitation on 409-797-3630 to find out which route applies to a device.Official guidance
Yes, building materials and roofing materials are on the accepted list. Residents may make one trip a month and leave up to 1,000 pounds at 5515 Harborside Drive, Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM or Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:45 AM, with a current water bill and proper identification and a hard hat and vest on site. Concrete is refused, so masonry has to find another route, and the station publishes no fee of its own, so confirm the cost at the gate.Official guidance
No page names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so it has to be confirmed. The city does collect heavy items such as appliances and furniture on the regular trash day with the litter truck, and the transfer station takes items that will not fit in the garbage cart, but that station is limited to one trip a month and 1,000 pounds. Call Sanitation on 409-797-3630 and describe the machine before setting it out.Official guidance
No. Bulk pickup now runs on the regularly scheduled trash day, so heavy items such as appliances, furniture and large piles of tree limbs and brush go at the curb or in the alley next to the trash cart and a litter truck is sent through for them. Everything has to be out by 7 AM, and the city also holds a free citywide cleanup each April with bulk pickup by area, free transfer station access and a shred and tire drop-off.Official guidance
The city does, through the Public Works Sanitation Division. Every residential account has to be signed up for trash service when the water service is opened, collection runs on one of four route days depending on the part of the island, and the division answers questions and cart requests on 409-797-3630. Carts and materials go out by 7 AM, the cart may go out no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before and returns to storage by 10 p.m. on the collection day.Official guidance
Yes. Galveston requires any appliance holding freon to have the freon removed and tagged by a certified technician and the appliance to be red-tagged before Sanitation can remove it. Once the tag is on, the unit goes out with the weekly bulk material on the regular collection day, at the curb or in the alley next to the cart and out by 7 AM, and the city publishes no price for the certified removal work.Official guidance
Building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit in the garbage cart, which covers most of what a cleanout produces. The limits are one trip per month and up to 1,000 pounds, with a current water bill and proper identification, and a hard hat and vest are required on site and sold at the BFI landfill if you do not have them. Concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon, tires, combustible material and non-empty aerosol cans are refused.Official guidance
Each April the city adds free bulk item pickup for large items such as furniture, mattresses, couches and bagged yard debris, on published dates by section of the island, along with free transfer station access from April 15 to 30 for residents who bring a current utility bill and photo ID. The recycle center hosts a shred day on April 18 from 10 AM to 2 PM and an oil and tire drop-off on April 18 and April 25 taking up to five tires with used motor oil, antifreeze or cooking oil in sealed containers, and questions go to 409-797-3630.Official guidance
To the recycle center at 702 61st Street rather than the transfer station, which refuses tires. The center accepts tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency such as a driver's licence, along with cooking oils and grease, and it is open 24 hours a day with staff from 8 AM to 4:45 PM on 409-797-3958. During the spring cleanup the oil and tire drop-off takes up to five tires per household with used motor oil, antifreeze or cooking oil in sealed containers.Official guidance
