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.

Furniture goes out with the monthly by request bulky item pickup as part of the six cubic yard allowance.
Refrigerators and appliances are expressly refused in the bulky item collection, and no city page publishes the appliance route.
Televisions and glass are refused in the bulky service and electronics are refused in the recycling cart, so the published route is the household hazardous waste collection event.
Exercise equipment is not named on the bulky refused list, so the rule is a confirmation call that keeps the machine inside the pile limits.
Tires are refused in the recycling cart and accepted at the household hazardous waste collection event, with the first four small tires free and larger or extra tires charged.
