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.

Up to twelve special pick-ups a service year are free, with the pile capped at twelve cubic yards and an advance charge for anything larger.
City cost & eligibility
$100 for in advance for a special pick-up pile larger than the twelve cubic yard limit, with up to twelve special pick-ups a service year provided free of charge and any payment required at least forty eight hours before the regular refuse collection day. City of Suffolk residential addresses receiving refuse collection, for the service year running from July 1 through June 30; the free allowance covers the twelve standard piles, and the charge applies only to an oversized pile.
When & how
Special pick-ups need no appointment: the pile goes out no earlier than twenty four hours before the regular collection day and the weekly crew collects it. A pile larger than twelve cubic yards has to be paid for in advance through the Sanitation Office on 514-7630.
Get it ready
Keep each pile within twelve cubic yards, keep household trash bags out of the pile because they are not collected as special pick-up, cut tree limbs to under six feet and no more than twenty four inches in diameter, and use the missed pick-up form or call 757-514-7630 when a pile is still out twenty four hours after the scheduled day.
Refuse is collected weekly and residents place disposable material in the city issued curbside can. Under the SPSA SORT system that began on July 1, 2026, trash and recyclable material may go together in either the green trash can or the blue recycling can, and the sorting happens at the authority's regional facility. The service is billed twice each year on the real estate tax bill, can repairs and missed collections are reported through the city forms or on 757-514-7630, and the refuse holiday calendar shows Veterans Day as the day with no trash collection.
Special pick-up is a pile beside the can, not an appointment
Bulky material does not need to be scheduled. Everything goes beside the can no earlier than twenty four hours before the regular collection day, any item placed outside the can counts as a special collection, and household trash bags are not collected as special pick-up. Piles are capped at twelve cubic yards, about six feet by six feet by nine feet, tree limbs have to be under six feet long and no more than twenty four inches in diameter, and a household gets up to twelve special pick-ups a service year at no charge from July 1 to June 30.
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.
