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.
First item / additional item
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Reviewed · Sources below
No city bulky program is published, so a large item goes through the hauler or a city event.
Furniture is accepted at the city's multi-family event when it is clean wood or metal, and otherwise goes through the hauler.
Mattresses are accepted at the city's apartment recycling event, and otherwise the route is confirmed.
Small appliances and metal are accepted at the multi-family event, while refrigerant units are refused there.
Electronics are not named on the city pages, so the route comes from the county list or the city contact.
Clean wood is accepted at the city event, and construction material otherwise has no published city route.
Exercise machines are not named on any city page, so the piece is confirmed before it goes out.
The handoff matters
Waste Management provides curbside garbage, recycling and yard and food waste collection for single-family and multi-family customers under the city contract. Commercial addresses get garbage and limited free recycling from the hauler, and other recycling and yard and food service is available for purchase from WM or other businesses. The city provides support, the service day map and the community programs around it.
City solid waste and recycling hub with the Waste Management curbside contract for residential, multi-family and commercial service, the city support role, the community events, the free cooking oil, battery and styrofoam drop-offs, the weather delay note and the service map, and the environmental services contactBatteries go to any of nine free locations around the city, including City Hall, the Community Center and the South King Tool Library, or to Call2Recycle retail sites. Styrofoam and plastic film go in the City Hall lobby, taking styrofoam blocks, bagged packing peanuts, grocery bags, film and packaging material. Used cooking oil goes into the black container at French Lake Dog Park, and oily jugs go home or in the trash rather than into the container.

Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
The city does not publish a bulky collection program of its own, so the route is confirmed with the hauler or the city on 253-835-2770. Apartment residents have the drive-thru recycling event as one published option for mattresses, furniture and metal.Official guidance
Yes. The city points residents to its Recycle Coach tool for tips and drop-off locations and to the recycling resources page for the free drop-offs it runs for batteries, styrofoam, plastic film and cooking oil.Official guidance
Yes, for apartment complex residents with a voucher: the event accepts clean wood including furniture and pallets and metal including furniture and metal cabinets, along with appliances, mattresses, styrofoam, soft plastics and metal items.Official guidance
The event is scoped to multi-family residents, and no city page publishes a curbside furniture service, so a single-family household confirms the route with the hauler or the city on 253-835-2770.Official guidance
The city's drive-thru recycling event lists mattresses among the accepted items for Federal Way apartment residents who bring their postcard voucher, and residents outside that scope confirm the route with the city or the hauler.Official guidance
The city asks eligible multi-family residents who did not receive the postcard voucher to email the recycling line for one, since the voucher is the proof of residence at the event.Official guidance
Small appliances such as microwaves and toasters, along with mattresses, styrofoam, soft plastics, clean wood and metal items. Refrigerants and hazardous waste are explicitly not accepted.Official guidance
Not to the city event, which refuses refrigerants. The route for a cooling unit is confirmed with the city on 253-835-2770 or the hauler, since no published page lists one.Official guidance
The city does not publish an electronics route, and the event list does not include them, so the city and the King County page it links are the confirmation points, and batteries can be dropped at the city's free battery locations in the meantime.Official guidance
Batteries should not go in the trash and can be dropped free at Federal Way City Hall, the Community Center, Dumas Bay Centre, El Centro de la Raza, the South King Tool Library, the Multiservice Center, Northshore Ace Hardware, Marlene's Market and Poverty Bay Cafe, or at Call2Recycle retail locations.Official guidance
Yes, at the drive-thru recycling event for apartment residents, which accepts clean wood including furniture and pallets along with metal items and appliances, while refusing refrigerants and hazardous waste.Official guidance
Federal Way publishes no construction collection or rate, so a project load goes to a private hauler or container, confirmed with the city on 253-835-2770 if the route is unclear.Official guidance
The city pages name appliances, mattresses, styrofoam, soft plastics, clean wood and metal for the event and describe the hauler's curbside service, but none of them names an exercise machine, so confirm the piece first.Official guidance
The event includes metal items such as furniture, cabinets, bikes and pots, so a broken down machine with its metal frame separated is worth asking about, but the city is the confirmation point before anything is loaded.Official guidance
The city supports recycling events, green living workshops, repair cafes, shredding events and the free drive-thru recycling event for apartment complexes, and the recycling resources page lists the year round free drop-offs in between.Official guidance
The city's environmental services manager on 253-835-2770, or the recycling line by email and on 253-835-2771 for event and drop-off questions.Official guidance
Yes. The city points residents to its Recycle Coach tool for tips and drop-off locations and to the recycling resources page for the free drop-offs it runs, which is how an item outside the curbside carts gets matched to a site.Official guidance
