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.

A household with curbside service gets one bulky waste pickup a month by request, at no additional charge, inside a six by six by six foot pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Waco household with curbside cart service, requesting the pickup in advance. The monthly pickup is included at no additional charge, and a pile larger than six by six by six feet is quoted at an extra charge.
When & how
Request the pickup through the city form or the Waco curbside app, then set the pile out for the scheduled day. Solid waste questions go to (254) 299-2489, and the bulky waste flyer prints the request line for the service.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at least five feet from trees, mailboxes, water meters, fences and other obstructions, never under overhanging branches and never on top of a sprinkler head or meter. Separate the bulk pile from the brush pile by at least two feet, and keep extra bags of trash, paint, tires, chemicals and construction material out of it. If the pile does not meet the requirements, the city notifies the household with the estimated fee.
Waco publishes no mattress line, only a household bulky pile with size limits and an exclusion list that does not mention bedding, so the piece has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the bulky waste size and exclusion rules rather than an item list, and a mattress is not named. Confirm the piece with the solid waste division at (254) 299-2489 before the monthly pickup, or take it to Cobbs inside the resident bulky allowance.
When & how
Ask before requesting the monthly pickup so the pile is not set out with an item the crew will refuse.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside the six by six by six foot limit with the pile clear of obstructions. A mattress that goes to Cobbs counts inside the four free bulky trips a year and the eight cubic yard per visit limit, and loose loads there must be tarped.
An appliance that holds no refrigerant is a household bulky item and goes out on the monthly pickup, while a Freon unit is refused and routed to Cobbs or the landfill for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Waco household with curbside cart service requesting the monthly bulky pickup. Appliances containing Freon are excluded from the pile and are handled at Cobbs or the landfill for a fee instead.
When & how
Request the monthly bulky pickup and put the appliance out with it, inside the six by six by six foot limit.
Get it ready
Empty the unit for the haul. Check whether the appliance holds refrigerant before it goes out, because a Freon unit will be left behind and has to be taken to Cobbs instead, where it needs a tag from a certified technician or pays the center's removal fee.
Exercise equipment is not named on the Waco bulky rules, so the machine has to be confirmed before the monthly pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the bulky waste size and exclusion rules rather than an item list and does not name exercise equipment. Confirm the machine and its size with the solid waste division at (254) 299-2489 before requesting the pickup.
When & how
Ask before the monthly pickup so a refused machine does not sit at the curb, and remember that anything left out can attract the city's published per event penalty.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when asking, break down what comes apart, and keep loose weights with the frame. Keep the machine inside the six by six by six foot pile limit and out of the brush pile.
A household with curbside service gets one bulky waste pickup each month, and it has to be requested in advance through the city form or the Waco curbside app. The pickup itself adds nothing to the bill, but a pile larger than six by six by six feet is quoted at an extra charge, and a pile that does not meet the requirements leaves the household with the estimated fee instead of a collection.
Keep the pile clear, separated and inside the size limit
Place the pile at least five feet from trees, mailboxes, water meters, fences and other obstructions, never under overhanging branches and never on top of a sprinkler head or water meter. Keep the bulk pile at least two feet from the brush pile, keep everything inside six by six by six feet, and remember that anything that fits in the gray cart should be bagged and tied for the regular trash instead.
Freon appliances, glass, tires, paint and chemicals stay out
The bulky pile refuses appliances containing Freon, basketball goals, glass such as tabletops and mirrors, tires, paint, chemicals, liquids and hazardous materials, and construction material containing bricks, concrete or tiles. Extra bags of trash never count as bulky waste either. Freon appliances, glass, tires and paint go to the Cobbs Recycling Center for a fee, and a household there is limited to four free bulky and brush trips a year at no more than eight cubic yards each.
From October 2026 yard waste may go in the gray cart with the weekly trash, in up to twenty paper bags collected by request up to twice a month, or be dropped at Cobbs or the landfill up to four times a year at no additional charge, and brush follows the same two options. Green yard waste carts may be kept until October 1, 2027 as an additional gray cart at no charge, and from October 1, 2026 a holiday week slides the pickup day one day later rather than earlier.
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.
