The clear-out can be finished.
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.
You want to know it is handled.
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 few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
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 and containers
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.
Furniture and other larger items
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.

When & how
The SOCRRA Transfer Station accepts trash without an appointment during limited hours, Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for hand unloading and Saturday 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Please bag all trash and close bags securely, and put them inside a can rather than loose. Refuse that is not in a container must be properly packaged and placed neatly at the street curb, not dumped or scattered.
In 2026 the Memorial Day and Labor Day weeks each delay collection by a day, to Thursday, while New Year's week runs on the normal schedule. All other holidays do not affect the collection date.
