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.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Cerritos: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Household appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous bulky material are collected free on the regular trash day when the pickup is scheduled ahead and kept to five items.
Household appliances are named in the bulky item definition, so they go out on a free scheduled pickup like other large household items.
Computers, monitors, televisions and cell phones are scheduled as electronic waste for curbside pickup, and batteries and bulbs drop off nearby at no additional charge.
Construction material is not eligible for the bulky pickup, so a project load moves through a city container rate or an arranged haul instead.
The handoff matters
A bulky item or electronic waste pickup is a reservation, made with the hauler at least 24 hours before the regular trash day, and the items go to the curb by 7 a.m. on that day. Tell the hauler what the items are and keep the pickup to five items.
Bulky item and electronic waste pickup rules, item limits, scheduling and ineligible materialMetal pipes, wood and carpet go out as bulky items only when they are cut to four feet in length, bundled with string and kept under 50 pounds. Construction material, tires, car and boat parts and hazardous waste are not eligible at all.
