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

Furniture that will not fit in the carts is a bulky item under the city guide, collected from the curb by CR&R on call and priced per pickup of up to four items.
The guide states that white goods, and appliances containing Freon, are picked up like a bulky item and that CR&R collects bulky items and white goods from the curbside.
Televisions, monitors and other electronic waste are universal waste that cannot go to the landfill or recycling center, so they are separated from the carts and collected through CR&R or the county centers.
Every construction project in Aliso Viejo is covered by Municipal Code chapter 7.15, which requires at least 65 per cent diversion of construction and demolition waste with permits, deposits and receipts.
Exercise equipment is named in no city or county list, and it is not universal waste, so the item has to be confirmed with the hauler before it leaves the property.
Anything that will not fit in the automated carts is a bulky item under the city guide, collected from the curb on call, and larger containers from three yards to forty yards are available for bigger loads.
