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.

A load too big for the carts goes to a county transfer station at a per vehicle garbage rate or to a drop box at a per cubic yard rate, and residents unload their own vehicles.
Sofas and other household furniture travel as garbage at the county facilities, and the hauler also takes a special pickup request for a household that cannot self haul.
Mattresses and covered springs are accepted as garbage only at the county facilities, with two named recyclers as an alternative.
Washers, dryers, stoves, hot water tanks, microwaves and metal housing dishwashers recycle free for residents, while a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, heat pump or dehumidifier is refused there.
The county routes every electronic item, including televisions, computers and monitors, to the state E-Cycle Washington programme because its own facilities refuse them.
Project material self hauled by the resident or the contractor has to go to a county solid waste facility under the county's flow control rule, at the garbage rate.
Exercise equipment is named on no page, so the machine is confirmed before it is hauled, and the county's metal stream is the likely route.
The handoff matters
Waste Management collects garbage every week and recycling every other week for Lake Stevens, with yard and food waste weekly for households that subscribe. Collection runs as usual on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day, but no garbage is collected on Independence Day and a double garbage load is taken the following week. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day push collection one day later for the rest of the week, and a household that cannot self haul can ask for a special pickup through the hauler's service page.

Loads must be covered and secured, because an unsecured load carries the county's published unsecured load charge, and payment is by cash, check with identification, or Visa, Mastercard and Discover only.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Stevens.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.
At a county transfer station a load of 360 pounds or less is charged the published minimum including tax, and anything above that is charged at the published rate per ton plus tax. At a county drop box the published rate applies to the first cubic yard and to each additional cubic yard, with a maximum of five cubic yards per customer per load, and an unsecured load carries the published unsecured load charge.Official guidance
A couch is household garbage in Snohomish County, so it goes to a county transfer station in a self hauled load at the per vehicle garbage rate, and household sofas are specifically exempt from the drop box size limit. Waste Management also takes a special pickup request for households that cannot self haul, on 1-800-592-9995.Official guidance
Yes, but as garbage rather than recycling. Snohomish County lists mattresses and covered springs as accepted as garbage only, so they travel with a self hauled load to a county transfer station at the per vehicle garbage rate. A mattress is also exempt from the drop box size limit, and the county names Arlington Recycle Warehouse in Everett on 425-931-3670 and MCS Recycle Maltby on 206-556-3199 as alternatives.Official guidance
Not through the county recycling area, which takes appliances without refrigerant or CFCs but refuses refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners and heat pumps. Those units go to a private appliance recycler, and the county names Ace Metal in Mukilteo on 425-493-6802 and Appliance Service and Parts in Granite Falls on 360-386-8503 among the options. The county hazardous waste station refuses refrigerators and freezers too.Official guidance
To E-Cycle Washington on 1-800-732-9253, which the county names for cell phones, circuit boards, computers and computer monitors, e-readers, PDAs and televisions. Snohomish County lists electronics as prohibited from its recycling areas, and the county household hazardous waste station refuses electronics too, so the state programme is the route.Official guidance
To a Snohomish County solid waste facility. County code requires that solid waste generated in Snohomish County is disposed of at a county facility, and the county states that contractors may self haul construction waste for disposal, so a project load goes to a transfer station at the garbage rate. Separating recyclable material into its own labelled container is allowed, and recyclables can go to a processor.Official guidance
Exercise equipment is not named in any Snohomish County list, and the free recyclable scrap metal stream only takes loads that are 85 percent metal or more and 8 feet or less. Call Snohomish County Solid Waste on 425-388-3425 or Waste Management on 1-800-592-9995 and confirm the machine, and expect a partly plastic machine to travel as garbage instead.Official guidance
Waste Management, which the county's service provider table lists for Lake Stevens and the city names as its garbage and recycling provider. Garbage is collected weekly, recycling every other week, and yard and food waste weekly for subscribers. Questions go to the hauler on 1-800-592-9995, and the county itself does not collect at the curb.Official guidance
Go to a transfer station between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. with the load covered and secured, and expect to unload the vehicle yourself. A load of 360 pounds or less is charged the published minimum including tax, heavier loads at the published rate per ton plus tax, an unsecured load carries the published unsecured load charge, and payment is by cash, check with identification, or Visa, Mastercard and Discover only.Official guidance
