How much does bulk junk removal cost in Lake Oswego?

Bulk pickup starts at $79. Price depends on the number and size of items. Add each item individually to see your exact price — no surprises.

Can you pick up construction debris?

We pick up small amounts of construction debris (drywall pieces, lumber scraps, tiles) that fit in bags or small piles. Large renovation projects may need a dumpster rental instead.

How do I prepare a bulk pickup?

Stack or pile items neatly at the curb. Use bags or boxes for small loose items. The neater the pile, the faster the pickup.

Is there a limit on how much you'll take?

No hard limit — add items to your cart and see the price. For very large cleanouts (10+ items), contact us for a bulk quote.

Is Dropcurb cheaper than renting a dumpster?

For most cleanouts, yes. A dumpster rental runs $250–500 for 3–7 days, plus you do all the loading yourself. A typical Dropcurb bulk pickup (5–8 items) costs $150–250, and our hauler loads it for you from the curb. Dumpsters only make sense for very large projects like full renovations.

Can I mix different types of junk in one pickup?

Absolutely. Add furniture, electronics, appliances, bags of junk — whatever you need gone. Each item is priced individually by type and size. The only restriction: no hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, propane tanks).

What happens to your junk after pickup

Bulk junk is sorted at the facility into recyclable, donatable, and disposable categories. Metals, wood, cardboard, and plastics are separated for recycling. Usable items (furniture, working electronics, household goods) are donated to local charities when possible. Construction debris like drywall, lumber, and concrete is processed at specialized construction & demolition recycling facilities. Items that can't be recycled or donated are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities. Our haulers make every effort to minimize landfill waste.

Why Lake Oswego residents choose Dropcurb for junk removal

Dropcurb's $79 pickup beats total self-haul costs ($95-135 with truck rental) and 1-800-GOT-JUNK's $150 minimum. Same-day service eliminates the 24-mile round trip to Oregon City and heavy lifting. No home visits or estimates required like traditional junk removal companies.
