FAQ
How do I prepare items for curbside pickup?
Place items at the curb or end of your driveway. No wrapping or bagging needed for furniture. Use bags or boxes for small loose items.
Preparing items for Dropcurb pickup is simple. Here's what to do and what to know.
Where to place items:
- At the curb in front of your home
- End of your driveway
- Alley (if your neighborhood uses alley pickup)
- Anywhere easily accessible from the street
How to prepare different items:
Large furniture (couches, dressers, tables): No preparation needed. Place them as-is at the curb.
Mattresses: No wrapping or bagging required. Just lean it against something or lay it flat.
Small items and loose junk: Use trash bags or boxes. Haulers can't pick up loose items scattered on the ground.
Appliances: Remove any remaining food from refrigerators. Disconnect and cap any water lines for washers.
Electronics: No special prep needed.
Disassembled items (play sets, trampolines): Bundle or bag hardware (screws, bolts) so it doesn't scatter.
HOA considerations:
If your HOA has rules about curbside placement, put items in the most accessible spot that complies with your HOA guidelines. Many customers place items out the night before for early morning pickup. If you're unsure about timing, book a same-day order before noon and set items out that morning.
What NOT to do:
- Don't put items in your backyard or garage — haulers only pick up from the curb
- Don't mix hazardous materials (paint, chemicals) with regular items
- Don't leave items blocking the sidewalk or street
