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

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Glen Ellyn: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Large items such as furniture, carpet rolls and white goods are collected on the weekly route with refuse stickers affixed to them, one sticker per item under fifty pounds, while appliances are scheduled with the hauler for a separate collection.
The handoff matters
Refuse, recycling and yard waste are collected every Monday, or Tuesday when Monday is a holiday. Village ordinance prohibits putting garbage, recycling or yard waste at the curb before 4:30 p.m. on the day before collection, items have to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and carts come back in within twenty four hours. The hauler's own page asks for 6 a.m., so follow the earlier time when in doubt.

A couch or another bulky item goes out with the Monday refuse collection once a refuse sticker is affixed to it, with one sticker for an item under fifty pounds, and a king size mattress has to be folded in half and tied. Carpet, a swing set and project material have to be broken into sections and bundled or containerised, with bundles no longer than four feet and construction material no bigger than two feet in diameter.
