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 Mechanicsburg: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Refuse goes out in no more than four thirty-two gallon containers behind the curb line and is collected Monday through Friday between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m., and a low volume household can choose the orange bag option instead, which costs less a year but puts a bag on every bulk item and appliance.
The hauler's Mechanicsburg service grid allows one large item a week on the regular collection, refuses anything too heavy for two people to lift and any construction debris, and asks to be called to schedule an appliance that holds Freon.
The handoff matters
Refuse goes out in no more than four thirty-two gallon containers behind the curb line, or beside the paved portion of the street or alley where there is no curbing, with each container no heavier than sixty pounds and the waste curbside by 6 a.m. Penn Waste collects the garbage route Monday through Thursday and recycling on the same day as the trash. Wood ashes, dead animals, tree trunks, leaves, stumps, roots, concrete, construction debris and dangerous material are not collected, and no refuse may be brought in from outside the borough.

Penn Waste collects it under the borough's contract, which the borough says runs from the start of 2026 to the end of 2030, and the hauler's customer service number is 717-767-4456. The borough office answers questions about billing and the orange bag option on 717-691-3310, and recycling is collected on the same day as the trash.Official guidance
It is a lower bill for a household that generates only a small amount of trash: one hundred fifty-six dollars a year for sixteen bags, against three hundred seventy-two dollars for the regular collection of two hundred and eight bags a year. Additional bags cost nine dollars and seventy-five cents at the borough office, recycling still goes out every week, and a bulk item or an appliance put out under this option needs a bag attached to be collected.Official guidance
The hauler's service grid allows one large item a week on the regular collection, with waste curbside by 6 a.m., and a household on the borough's orange bag option has to attach a bag to a bulk item or an appliance. Anything too heavy for two people to lift is refused, construction debris is not collected curbside, and an appliance that holds Freon has to be scheduled by calling Penn Waste on 717-767-4456.Official guidance
The borough bills the regular refuse collection at three hundred seventy-two dollars a year for two hundred and eight bags, and the orange bag option at one hundred fifty-six dollars a year for sixteen bags with each additional bag at nine dollars and seventy-five cents. The hauler publishes no per item charge for a large item, so that answer is confirmed with Penn Waste on 717-767-4456, and electronics are charged by the pound at the Cumberland County center rather than by the item.Official guidance
Wood ashes, dead animals, tree trunks, leaves, stumps, roots, concrete, construction debris and dangerous material are all excluded from the borough's refuse collection, and the hauler does not collect construction debris curbside or a large item too heavy for two people to lift. Televisions and computer devices cannot go in the waste stream at all because state law bans them, so they go to the Cumberland County electronics recycling center instead.Official guidance
Penn Waste collects curbside refuse and recycling under the borough's contract and answers service questions on 717-767-4456, from 36 West Allen Street in Mechanicsburg. The borough office at 717-691-3310 handles billing, the orange bag option and yard waste questions, and Cumberland County runs the electronics recycling center on 717.240.6489.Official guidance
Call Penn Waste on 717-767-4456 to schedule removal of an appliance that holds Freon, and put the unit out as the large item for that week because the hauler allows one large item a week. The unit has to be light enough for two people to lift, construction debris is not part of this route, and a household on the orange bag option needs a bag attached to the appliance before it is collected.Official guidance
