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

Bulk junk removal in McAllen: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
McAllen runs a curbside brush and bulky waste collection every month, with the city divided into four map sections and each section collected during its own full week of the month: North East in the first full week, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth.
Furniture is named in the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center, with sofas and mattresses given as the examples, and carpet is on the same accepted list. The curbside brush and bulky week takes the same kind of material.
A mattress is named in the bulky waste drop-off list at the Recycling Center, in the same line as sofas and other furniture. The curbside brush and bulky week handles the same bulky household group.
Appliances are on the bulky waste drop-off list at the Recycling Center, with refrigerators, stoves and ovens named as the examples, and the residential page describes the drop-off site as the place for old appliances. A unit that holds refrigerant needs a technician's tag first.
A refrigerator is accepted at the McAllen bulky waste drop-off only when it is tagged by a technician confirming the refrigerant was removed. Without that tag the unit does not meet the drop-off condition.
Electronic devices are accepted for drop-off at the McAllen Recycling Center, and the city page offers that service to residents and non-residents rather than limiting it to city accounts. Electronics do not go in the garbage or recycling carts.
Construction debris is refused at the McAllen drop-off site, which the residential page explains was dropped because of the weight and the possibility of hazardous material, and it is not part of the curbside brush and bulky week either. The city sells roll-off containers for projects instead.
Exercise equipment is not named on the McAllen bulky waste list, which covers furniture, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires and appliances. The closest named group is bulky toys, so a treadmill is an unlisted item rather than a settled one.
The handoff matters
McAllen splits the city into four sections for brush and bulky waste: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of the collection week, and the schedule sheet carries the dated week for every month of 2026.
2026 Brush and Bulky Waste Collection Schedule with the resident do and do not sheetKeep three feet of empty space all around the brush and bulky pile, place it at the curbside or in the alleyway rather than in the street, and keep it away from mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters, walls and fences. City Ordinance Sec. 90-42 makes it unlawful to place brush where it blocks a mailbox or covers a water meter box, telephone pedestal, gas meter or cable wire.
2026 Brush and Bulky Waste Collection Schedule with the resident do and do not sheetUse 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.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in McAllen.
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.
The city is split into four sections and each one has its own full week of the month: North East in the first full week, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, with three feet of clear space around the pile and nothing placed near a mailbox, fire hydrant or water meter.Official guidance
Two city routes take it. The monthly brush and bulky week for your section collects it from the curbside or alleyway with three feet of clear space around the pile, and the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen takes furniture including sofas at its bulky waste drop-off for city residents, where a water bill serves as proof of address.Official guidance
Yes, on two routes. The bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road names mattresses alongside sofas and other furniture and is open to city residents with a water bill, and the monthly brush and bulky week for your section takes a mattress from the curbside or alleyway pile. A mattress never goes in the black garbage cart.Official guidance
To the Recycling Center drop-off at 4101 N. Bentsen, which the city lists for old appliances and where refrigerators, stoves and ovens are named on the bulky waste list. City residents bring a water bill as proof of address. A refrigerator is only taken when a technician has tagged it to confirm the refrigerant was removed.Official guidance
Yes. The bulky waste drop-off list accepts refrigerators, stoves and ovens, but a refrigerator must be tagged by a technician confirming that the refrigerant was removed before the city will take it. Have the refrigerant removed and the tag fitted first, then bring the unit to the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road with a water bill.Official guidance
Electronic devices are accepted for drop-off at the McAllen Recycling Center on Bentsen Road, and the city offers that service to residents and non-residents instead of limiting it to city accounts. Erase personal data before handover, keep the device out of the garbage and recycling carts, and call 956-681-4050 with any question about what the center takes.Official guidance
Not to the drop-off site, which stopped taking construction debris because of the weight and the possibility of hazardous material, and not into the curbside bulky week. The city sells roll-off container service for new building, renovation, land clearing and demos, arranged through Public Works with the service agreement submitted at City Hall, and no car tires, chemicals or hazardous waste may go into the container.Official guidance
Exercise equipment is not named on the bulky waste drop-off list or in the brush and bulky programme, so it is treated as an unlisted item. Call the Recycling Center on 956-681-4050, describe the machine and its size, and confirm whether it can be dropped at 4101 N. Bentsen before loading it, because the named groups stop at furniture, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires and appliances.Official guidance
The city publishes a 2026 brush and bulky schedule with the map split into four sections: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, and the schedule lists the dated week for every month of the year.Official guidance
A water bill, because the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road is offered for residential use only. The site takes furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires within the five a month resident limit and appliances, and it accepts electronic devices from residents and non-residents. Construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused there.Official guidance
Yes. The BAG IT programme gives residents free compostable brown paper bags for grass clippings and leaves, twenty a month from the Recycling Center and five a month from each of the other listed city facilities, which include City Hall and the main library. Paper bags are used because plastic contaminates the city's composting process.Official guidance
