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 highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Aurora: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Aurora residential trash customers get one bulky item a month collected at no cost, and the item has to be pre-approved: the resident calls the Community Development Office on 417-678-5121 extension 300 to schedule no later than 4 p.m. on the third Wednesday, the office places a sticker tag on the item, and the tagged item is picked up on the third Friday. The city names an old television, a mattress and box springs and a couch as examples.
Aurora publishes a restricted materials sheet listing the items the hauler cannot collect because they cannot go into the landfill, and leaving one in the trash means the whole load is not picked up.
The handoff matters
The monthly bulky pickup is arranged through the city rather than the hauler. Call the Community Development Office on 417-678-5121 extension 300 to schedule the item no later than 4 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month, the office then places a sticker tag on the approved item, and the pickup happens on the third Friday of each month for one item at no cost. Keep the tagged item off the curb until within 48 hours of the pickup day.

Wednesday covers residences east of Washington Street, except E. Kirkwood, Robinson St, E. Glendale, S. Oak Avenue, Union Street and Cedar Glen Trailer Park, and those areas along with everything west of Washington Street are collected on Thursday.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Aurora.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Call the Community Development Office on 417-678-5121 extension 300 to schedule the item no later than 4:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month, and the office then places a sticker tag on the approved item for the third Friday pickup, with the occupant responsible for putting it curbside. Residential trash customers get one bulky item a month at no cost, the city names an old television, a mattress and box springs and a couch among the common items, a mattress or box spring has to be wrapped in plastic, and the item must not be placed curbside more than 48 hours before pickup day.Official guidance
The load is not collected. The city's restricted materials sheet lists yard waste, hazardous waste, oils, car batteries, tires, asbestos, dead animal carcasses and paint among the items that cannot be accepted because they cannot go into the landfill, and it names pesticides, insect sprays, herbicides and lawn chemicals, rust removers, pool chemicals, batteries, auto chemicals and lubricants, used motor oil or transmission fluid, paint thinner and solvents, corrosive chemicals, wood stain or preservatives and chlorine bleach as hazardous waste items, with the caveat that the list is not exhaustive. The hauler tells the city billing department and the city tries to reach the resident, and the item has to be corrected before collection resumes, so call 417-678-5121 and describe anything questionable first.Official guidance
Doty Services holds the City of Aurora's residential trash contract, and the city lists it on 417-678-1350 among the local trash companies on its utilities page. Collection runs Wednesday and Thursday by route, and bulky items are arranged through the city rather than through the hauler. The city answers general questions on 417-678-5121.Official guidance

Most likely because it contained something the city will not take. Aurora states that items which cannot go into the landfill are refused, and that a load containing them will not be picked up. The hauler reports it to the city billing department and the city tries to reach the resident about the problem items, so the item has to be corrected before collection resumes. The published list of restricted material is not exhaustive, so call 417-678-5121 to check a specific item.Official guidance
