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

Melissa and Community Waste Disposal collect bulk items once a month with no call needed, beginning on the Friday that falls in the first full week of the month. The day depends on the trash route: the first Friday for Monday and Tuesday routes, the second for Wednesday, the third for Thursday and the fourth for Friday. Items go to the curb by 7 a.m., the load is limited to four cubic yards, and single pieces over 150 pounds are refused. Furniture, appliances, bagged leaves and bundled brush are all acceptable, while construction debris and household hazardous waste are not.Official guidance
Brush and bagged leaves go out with the free monthly bulk and brush collection on the Friday that follows the trash day in the first full week of the month, with the material at the curb by 7 a.m. Every bundle of brush has to be tied with string or twine and measure no more than four by two feet and forty pounds, and there is no limit on the number of bundles. Loose brush is refused, and leaves should be bagged because yard material is not recyclable and does not belong in the blue cart.Official guidance
The monthly bulk and brush collection is free for residential solid waste customers and includes up to four cubic yards on each collection. A load beyond that limit, or extra and non-compliant items, goes through a special pickup that the hauler prices by estimate, and estimates are free. The door-side household hazardous waste and used electronics collection is included in the regular monthly trash and recycling charge rather than billed separately.Official guidance
Melissa contracts residential garbage and recycling to Community Waste Disposal, which services city residents weekly Monday through Friday for both carts and runs the complimentary monthly bulk and brush pickup on the same contract. CWD customer service answers on 972-392-9300 option 2, new residential service and extra carts are handled by the City Utility Billing Department on 972-838-2035, and the city offers a senior citizen discount for residents aged 65 and over.Official guidance
The city publishes collection routes rather than a drop-off site. A load the monthly bulk day will not take, such as a quantity beyond four cubic yards, goes through a special pickup priced by estimate from CWD on 972-392-9300 option 2, and paint, aerosols, used motor oil, automotive batteries, fluorescent tubes and flat screen televisions go out at the door on the monthly hazardous waste and electronics collection instead of to a facility.Official guidance
