You want to know it is handled.
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 few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
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 and containers
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.
Furniture and other larger items
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.

Mount Vernon has no routine bulky pickup. The city's one free route is the Fall Clean-up on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at the City Shop Complex on Shop Lane, where a qualifying home brings one average load each of garbage, recycling and yard waste.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free for a single family residence or an owner occupied duplex, tri-plex or four-plex inside the city limits, with one average load of each kind and proof of residency. Other loads need a rented dumpster from the city or the hauler's special pickup service, both priced separately.
When & how
The event runs only on Saturday October 10, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1010 Shop Lane. At home, carts go out before 6 a.m. on the collection day, with three feet of clearance from other carts, mailboxes, posts, hydrants, vehicles and street placed basketball hoops.
Get it ready
Bring the physical September or October city utility bill and identification showing the city address, separate the loads because mixed loads are refused, bag all trash and never bring a loose garbage load, and do not use a U-Haul van or an extremely large trailer because they are refused at the gate.
Furniture is accepted at the city's free Fall Clean-up, which lists furniture items such as couches, chairs, tables and mattresses among the material it takes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Fall Clean-up for a single family residence or an owner occupied duplex, tri-plex or four-plex inside the city limits, as part of the one average load of garbage the property is allowed. There is no routine curbside furniture collection.
When & how
The event runs on Saturday October 10, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City Shop Complex, 1010 Shop Lane. Outside that day, furniture has to go through a rented dumpster or a special pickup arranged with Waste Management.
Get it ready
Hold the furniture until the event day, keep it out of the yard waste load and the recycling load because the three loads must stay separate, and bring the utility bill and identification to the gate. Do not bring a U-Haul van or an extremely large trailer, because neither is accepted.
Mattresses are named in the furniture line of the city's Fall Clean-up sheet, so a mattress leaves with the free garbage load on the one event day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Fall Clean-up for a qualifying residence inside the city limits, within the one average load of garbage allowed per property. No routine mattress collection is offered.
When & how
The single event day is Saturday October 10, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1010 Shop Lane. Keep the mattress out of the recycling and yard waste loads so the three loads stay separate.
Get it ready
Bring the mattress on the event day with the utility bill and identification, keep it dry and separate from the other loads, and leave it out of the yard waste facility at the same address, which takes only organic material.
The Fall Clean-up is one day with a bill and an ID
The free clean-up runs only on Saturday October 10, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City Shop Complex, 1010 Shop Lane. Bring a physical copy of the September or October city utility bill and identification that verifies the city address, because no other utility bill is accepted. One average load each of garbage, recycling and yard waste is allowed, loads must be kept separate, all trash must be bagged, and staff may refuse anything that is not bagged or that is messy, wet or too large.
Place garbage, recycling and yard waste carts out before 6 a.m. on the collection day at the curb or the alley. Leave three feet between carts and three feet from any mailbox, light post, fire hydrant, parked vehicle or street placed basketball hoop, and never paint the cart, put hot ashes in it or take it off the property. A return trip charge can apply when a cart is not out on time or is not accessible.
Use 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.

Rent a temporary dumpster for a project
A household or project inside the city limits with more debris than a cart or the clean-up day can take.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes a container rate schedule, so the price depends on the container size and the term: permanent bins from 1 to 8 yards run 103.21 to 584.59 dollars a month, roll-off and compactor service runs 85 to 103 dollars a month for a 10, 20 or 30 yard container plus a 227 dollar haul fee and 134 dollars a ton, and temporary bin rentals charge a daily rental fee of 6 dollars for 1 to 8 yards or 11 to 16 dollars for a 10 to 30 yard container plus the published delivery, haul and per ton fees.

Arrange it
Arrange the container with the city Solid Waste Division on 360-336-6218, then have it collected when the work is finished.
The program serves projects inside the city limits, and the city does not describe an appliance, tire or refrigerant route through the dumpster, so those items still follow the referrals on the clean-up sheet.
