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

Furniture and sofas are named bulky waste at the Meriden Transfer Station and they are also eligible for the paid curbside pickup, so a couch leaves on one of those two routes. The station charges by the vehicle and the curbside program charges a flat appointment fee.
Bulky waste, carpeting, tires and yard material all have a route in Meriden. The paid curbside program takes up to eight listed items on a Wednesday appointment with a mattress and box spring counting as two items and four tires counting as four, while the Transfer Station charges by the vehicle for furniture, sofas, carpeting, lawn equipment with the fluids drained and up to four passenger tires without rims, and takes brush and leaves free within the published limits.
The handoff matters
Everything brought to the Meriden Transfer Station has to come from the residential user, commercial and industrial waste is not accepted, and contractors are not granted access. Department of Public Works personnel are not permitted to help unload, so residents bring their own help, and proof of residency is required. Fees are charged per vehicle per visit and the station takes cash or a check payable to the City of Meriden.
