Attic cleanout, one trip down the ladder at a time
Attics are mostly boxes and bags, and that's the cheapest thing we haul. Bring it down, stage it at the curb or driveway, and a local hauler takes it same-day with a photo text when it's gone.

An attic cleanout with Dropcurb typically costs $100–$250, since attics are mostly bagged and boxed junk at $19–$39 per bag. Larger finds like a dresser or old TV add $29 each as add-on items. You see the exact total before paying, and pickup is same-day when booked by 2 PM.
Your options, compared
| Option | Timeline | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dropcurb curbside pickup | Same day (book by 2 PM), or by 8 AM tomorrow | $100–$250 typical, exact total before you pay | You carry items down the ladder and stage them at the curb or driveway |
| 1-800-GOT-JUNK | Scheduled window, often next day | No published prices; third-party guides report a $100–$150 minimum even for the smallest load | The exact price is set only after the crew looks at your items in person, in one-eighth-truck increments |
| Charity donation pickup (e.g. Salvation Army) | Scheduled in advance, not same-day | Free | Items must be gently used and sellable — everything is accepted at the driver's discretion, and worn or unusable items are refused |
| City bulk pickup | Every other month to once a year, depending on city | Free | Built for bulky items, not bags — Houston's accepted junk-waste list covers furniture, mattresses, and appliances, and a pile mixed with unauthorized items can be refused entirely |
What it costs
The first item carries the trip cost — starting at $79 — and every bag or item after it is an add-on price. Exact total before you pay.

How it works
Bag it and count it
Attic junk is mostly bags and boxes — the cheapest thing on the price list at $19–$39 each.
Stage it at the curb
Curb, driveway, or alley. Haulers never enter homes — no ladder duty for them, no in-home crew markup for you.
Same-day pickup
Booked by 2 PM, it's usually gone within about 3 hours of being out, with a photo confirmation text.
How to clear an attic without losing a weekend
Up in the attic
- ✓Sort into keep, donate, toss before anything comes down the ladder — carry each box once
- ✓Rebag anything in crumbling boxes; tied bags travel better than 20-year-old cardboard
- ✓Old holiday decor, kids' clothes, and mystery boxes: if you haven't opened it in 5 years, it's probably a toss
Staging
- ✓Stack everything at the curb or driveway in one tidy pile
- ✓Count your bags and any furniture pieces as you stack
- ✓Set aside paint cans or anything hazardous — those go to your city's drop-off, not the curb
Booking
- ✓Enter your bag count and items — the exact total shows before you pay
- ✓Book by 2 PM for same-day pickup, or pick a weekend date up to 30 days out
- ✓You don't need to be home; a photo text confirms the pickup
