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.

Large household items that will not fit the cart leave on a bulky collection the township provides as a courtesy at no additional cost, booked with Waste Management at least two business days before the normal service day. The accepted and refused lists are firm, and the service is not offered on selected Mondays and Fridays because of the bulky cardboard schedule.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The township states the bulky oversized collection is provided as a courtesy to residents at no additional cost; it has to be scheduled in advance with Waste Management on 1-800-800-5804 or cssatex@wm.com, it is not offered on select Mondays and Fridays, and items on the refused list or an unbooked pile are not collected.
When & how
Call Waste Management at least two business days before the household's normal service day to book the collection, then set the items at the curb for that day.
Get it ready
Break basketball goals down into the goal, main tube and base with the pole cut into four foot sections, cut long items such as poles and playground equipment into four foot sections, bundle carpet into four foot bundles with a limit of two, tie fencing or decking into up to two bundles of five boards no longer than six feet, box and tape a toilet shut, and tag a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner as certified freon free.
Yard trimmings are collected weekly on the same service day as the trash, with no tags or scheduling needed, as long as the bags, containers and bundles meet the township rules. Brush is refused on the bulky collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Weekly yard trimming collection is part of the courtesy residential service the township provides at no charge, with no additional service tags required; the township recycling center takes the same material free from residents, and a non-compliant load is not collected.
When & how
Put the trimmings at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day, at least four feet from the 96-gallon carts, and the hauler collects them the same day.
Get it ready
Bag grass clippings, leaves and prunings only in certified compostable bags meeting ASTM-6400 or in Kraft paper bags, never in petroleum-based plastic bags, or leave them loose in an open container no heavier than 40 pounds. Cut branches and limbs to four feet or less with a diameter no greater than four inches, tie them in bundles no more than four feet high and no heavier than 40 pounds, and put plain non-glossy shredded paper with the leaves in a compostable bag.
Trash, recycling and yard trimmings all go out by 7 a.m. on the weekly service day, with clear access for the trucks and the trimmings at least four feet from the carts. Trash stays in the green-lidded cart and recycling in the yellow-lidded cart, clean, dry, empty and loose with cardboard flattened, and Waste Management answers a green tag violation on the next service day rather than returning.
Bulky oversized collection is a courtesy service at no additional cost, but it has to be booked with Waste Management on 1-800-800-5804 or cssatex@wm.com at least two business days before the normal service day, and it is not offered on selected Mondays and Fridays because of the bulky cardboard schedule. Long items are cut into four foot sections, carpet is bundled in four foot lengths with a limit of two, toilets are boxed and taped, glass is taped into a tarp, and a cooling unit needs a certified freon free tag.
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.
