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.

Anything too large for the gray cart leaves by appointment, up to twelve collections a year for a household inside the city limits, with the request made before noon on the business day before the collection day. The load is limited by volume, extra trash bags are not part of it, and the restricted items list is firm.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to 12 bulky item collections a calendar year are included at no charge for residents inside the McKinney city limits with a water account in good standing, with one request allowed per week; rental property is treated as commercial and cannot use the service, and a disposal fee may apply for an excessive number of items or for more than 12 collections, quoted by Frontier on 469-444-1555.
When & how
Submit the bulky item request before noon on the business day before the collection day, and put the items out on the appointment day, which can be up to two weeks after the request.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside an area no larger than three and a half feet tall by three feet deep by nine feet long, or limit it to two large household pieces, and keep extra trash bags, bagged yard waste, construction debris, treated wood, pallets, tires, automotive parts and hazardous waste out of it because those are restricted.
Yard waste runs automatically every week on the trash collection day on a separate truck, with no appointment, as long as the limbs and bags are prepared the way the city requires.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly yard waste collection is part of the residential service the household already pays for through the water and trash account, with no separate charge and no scheduling published; water district drop offs accept yard waste with the first two visits per household each month free.
When & how
Put the bags and bundles three feet from the cart on the regular collection day; the separate yard waste truck runs the same day. Yard waste can also be taken to the Custer Road Transfer Station or to Living Earth in Celina.
Get it ready
Cut limbs to four foot lengths with a branch diameter of six inches or less, tie them with string or twine and no tape or wire, keep each bundle to 50 pounds or less, put grass clippings and leaves in brown paper bags, and keep the whole set out to ten bags, ten bundles or ten items in combination. Limbs cut by anyone other than the resident are not eligible, pumpkins are not collected as yard waste, and mulch, dirt, concrete, stones and plastic bags are refused.
Trash, recycling and yard waste go out on the same weekly collection day. Carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. and may be set out from 6 p.m. the day before, at least three feet from the other containers and from bulky material, mailboxes, vehicles, meters, poles and fences, with the serial number facing the street and the handle toward the house. Recycling stays loose and clean with the lid closed and cardboard broken down, and an overloaded cart is not collected.
Bulky items are collected by appointment only, with the request submitted before noon on the business day before the collection day, and the household can book up to twelve collections a year inside the city limits. The load fits inside three and a half feet tall by three feet deep by nine feet long or is limited to two large household pieces, extra trash bags are not part of the service, and a cooling appliance needs proof of freon evacuation before the collection date.
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.
