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 Covington residents choose Dropcurb for junk removal

Once per year means planning furniture disposal around a single annual opportunity. Dropcurb's same-day service eliminates the coordination delays and covers appliances the Waste Management service restricts.
