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 East Providence: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
East Providence collects a mattress, a box spring or one set per household on scheduled Saturdays by appointment, priced per piece, and the season runs from March through December.
Furniture is collected on the city's Friday bulky route, one item per household per week, by appointment only.
Appliances come off the curb once a month on a Tuesday, but only with a recycling sticker bought from the city beforehand.
Electronics are a city drop-off rather than a curbside item, taken at the Public Works complex on Commercial Way.
Construction, demolition and remodelling debris is the resident's own responsibility, and the city does not collect it.
Exercise equipment is on the city's recycling sticker list, so it is collected with the monthly appliance and metal route rather than with the Friday bulky items.
The city runs a Friday bulky collection for the whole city, but it is appointment-only and limited to one item per household each week.
The handoff matters
Rubbish, recycling and yard debris go at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day and may not be out before 3 p.m. the day before. Everything goes inside the city cart, and anything left outside the cart is not collected and can draw a daily fine. Carts sit with the wheels and handle toward the curb and about three feet from yard waste barrels and recycling carts.
Curbside collection and drop-offsThe Friday bulky collection runs for the whole city by appointment, one item per household per week. Schedule it on 401-435-7701 before noon on Thursday and put the item at the curb after 3 p.m. that afternoon. A bulky item set out without an appointment, or rubbish piled at the curb, can lead to a daily fine.
Curbside collection and drop-offsHow to dispose of yard waste, appliances and other itemsUse a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

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.
Book a Saturday collection with the Recycling Office at 401-435-7701. One mattress, one box spring or one set per household is collected, the charge applies to each piece, and collections run from March through December with nothing scheduled in January or February. The city also offers free mattress and box spring drop-offs in season, and a mattress that is not torn or damaged can be taken to the Resource Recovery campus in Johnston free at any time of year.Official guidance
Yes, through the Friday bulky collection, which runs for the whole city by appointment only. One item per household per week is allowed, the appointment has to be booked by noon on Thursday, and the piece goes out after 3 p.m. that afternoon. The city asks residents to donate furniture that is still usable rather than setting it out.Official guidance
Household appliances including washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, hot water tanks, air conditioners and gas grills are collected on the second Tuesday of each month. Residents buy a recycling sticker at the Public Works office at 60 Commercial Way by 10 a.m. on the preceding Thursday, then put the appliance at the curb not more than twenty-four hours in advance. The same appliances can be dropped at the Public Works yard.Official guidance
They are dropped off, not set out. The Department of Public Works complex at 60 Commercial Way takes e-waste Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the accepted list covers televisions, monitors, computers, printers, cartridges, wire and cable, VHS and DVD players and anything with a plug. Nothing in the city's pages prices that drop-off.Official guidance
The city is not responsible for it. Residents handle all material from household construction, demolition and renovation regardless of who did the work, and the city points to the landfill in Johnston or to a private collector, with fees applying. Construction debris is also outside the Friday bulky collection.Official guidance
Yes, but through the sticker route rather than the Friday bulky collection, because exercise equipment is named on the city's list of items that need a recycling sticker. Buy the sticker at the Public Works office at 60 Commercial Way by 10 a.m. on the Thursday before the monthly collection, then put the machine at the curb no more than twenty-four hours ahead.Official guidance
Bulky items and furniture are collected every Friday for the whole city, one item per household per week, and only by appointment. Call 401-435-7701 to book before noon on Thursday and leave the item at the curb after 3 p.m. that day. Setting out an unscheduled bulky item, or piling rubbish at the curb, can lead to a daily fine.Official guidance
The Refuse and Recycling Division at the Department of Public Works, on 401-435-7701, which routes to missed collections on option 1, bulky appointments on option 2 and appliance, metal and recycling cart questions on option 7. The office at the Public Works complex at 60 Commercial Way is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.Official guidance
The Department of Public Works yard on Commercial Way takes e-waste including televisions and computers, scrap metal, propane tanks, auto batteries, antifreeze, used motor oil and filters, cooking oil, rigid plastic such as old barrels and lawn furniture, used books, and paint through the state PaintCare programme. The window is Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
Household hazardous waste is a state programme rather than a city one, because East Providence is not permitted to collect or store it under state regulations. Residents book a Resource Recovery Eco-Depot appointment, which is free for Rhode Island households and takes anything labelled toxic, poison, flammable or combustible. Leftover paint goes to a PaintCare drop-off, with the programme funded by a state fee on each paint container sold, and only hardened paint goes in the trash.Official guidance
