Clear the boxes after a move, delivery or busy week. Book empty boxes individually, bundles of 10 flattened boxes, or securely bound cardboard bales with loading-dock access.
The new furniture is in place. The deliveries are opened. Choose the cardboard you have and get the space back, without turning a stack of boxes into a guessing game.
Pick the right unit.
A loose box, a ten-box bundle and a compacted bale have separate prices.
Only book what is there.
Add bundles, leftover boxes and other items to one order.
Get confirmation it is cleared.
Follow pickup updates and photos after collection.
Boxes, bundles and bales are three different things.
A bundle is ten flattened boxes. A bale is mechanically compacted cardboard, securely strapped together and staged at an accessible loading dock.
Loose empty boxes.
Count each empty box as one item. Remove contents, plastic packing and foam. This choice is for the cardboard box itself.
Bundles of 10.
Flatten ten empty boxes and tie them into one bundle. Twenty-three boxes? Choose two ten-box bundles and three loose boxes. Count each box once.
Compacted bales.
Choose small for 50–150 lb, medium for 151–300 lb or large for 301–500 lb. Every bale must be securely bound and accessible from a loading dock. Unknown weight, no dock or over 500 lb? Ask our team first.

The blue 65-gallon recycling cart takes cardboard and mixed paper along with cans, cartons and plastic containers. Corrugated boxes, cereal boxes and shipping cardboard belong in this cart rather than the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Recycling collection is part of the residential service inside the city limits, and the 65-gallon recycling cart is supplied at no additional cost.
When & how
Recycling runs once a week, on Thursday for the Monday and Thursday streets and on Friday for the Tuesday and Friday streets. The holiday schedule applies on weeks when the normal day falls on a holiday.
Get it ready
Flatten boxes so the cart lid closes. Accepted paper and containers should be clean and free of food residue. Keep plastic bags, styrofoam, window glass, mirrors, ceramics, light bulbs, wrapping paper, glass bottles and fabric out of the recycling cart.
Roll carts go in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb on a publicly maintained street, or in another spot the department has approved. Carts can go out no earlier than 7:00 p.m. the day before collection and must be off the curb before 7:00 p.m. on collection day. The rest of the week the cart stays within ten feet of the dwelling.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
If you would rather not wait for a collection day, Rockdale County runs the Recycling Center at 1200 Sigman Road, about a mile north of exit 82 off Interstate 20. The site takes garbage, bulky household items, mattresses, yard debris, scrap metal and tires, and the limits are set per household per week. Bring identification and proof of address, because the center serves Rockdale County and City of Conyers residents only and turns away commercial loads. Appliances that still contain a Freon compressor cannot be dropped there. Recycling Center

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Cardboard pickup, from choosing your item to pickup day in Conyers.
How much does cardboard pickup cost?+
One empty box is $59 first and $5 additional. A bundle of 10 flattened boxes is $79 first and $20 additional. Small, medium and large compacted bales have separate weight-based choices shown above.
What are the cardboard bale weight limits?+
Small is 50–150 lb, medium is 151–300 lb and large is 301–500 lb. Each bale must stay securely bound and be ready at an accessible loading dock. Contact our team about unknown weights, larger bales or a location without dock access.
Can the boxes still have things inside?+
Empty-cardboard pricing covers the cardboard itself. Use Filled household box for boxed household contents. Remove plastic, foam and other packing materials from empty boxes before collection.
Can I put cardboard in my regular recycling instead?+
Check your local provider’s cardboard rules, including flattening, container limits and collection days. EPA recommends keeping paper products clean and dry. Dropcurb provides a separately booked pickup; a specific recycling facility or recycling outcome is not guaranteed by this booking.
Can I arrange same-day pickup?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Checkout shows the available dates for your address. Your booking is for a pickup day, rather than an exact arrival window. We send updates and photos after collection.
Where should I put my items?+
Use an accessible outdoor spot you are allowed to use, and follow the instructions in your confirmation. Keep sidewalks, entrances and vehicle access clear. You arrange any indoor carrying. For a loading dock or a short building access window, confirm the setup with our team before booking.
What can go in the blue recycling cart?+
Cardboard, magazines, newspapers and mixed paper go in along with aluminium, steel and tin cans, cartons and plastic bottles and containers numbered 1 to 7. Keep food-soiled paper, plastic bags, styrofoam, ceramics, mirrors, window glass and glass bottles out of the cart.Official guidance
Can I put items out the night before collection?+
Yes, but not earlier than 7:00 p.m. the evening before your collection day, and everything should be off the curb before 7:00 p.m. on the collection day itself. When a collection day falls on a holiday, the city publishes a holiday schedule for garbage and recycling.Official guidance
