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.

Household sofas are named in the county oversized item exception and ride the garbage stream at the transfer station in Mountlake Terrace, while a couch that is easier to leave at the curb is collected by Waste Management by special arrangement for a fee.
Household junk rides the garbage stream at the county transfer station inside Mountlake Terrace, tires are limited to five per customer per day at regular garbage rates, and clean scrap metal of 85 percent metal or more recycles free.
The handoff matters
Waste Management collects garbage every week, and recycling with food and yard waste every other week, with carts at the curb by 7 a.m. Bag all garbage, keep recycling empty, clean and loose, and put food scraps and yard trimmings in the green cart. Extra garbage, extra recycling and extra yard waste that will not fit in the container with the lid closed all carry a charge.

County facilities refuse electronics, cooling appliances and dangerous waste as well, so each of those items needs the route named on its own page.

A weekday holiday delays collection by one day for the rest of that week, so a Thursday holiday moves Thursday customers to Friday and Friday customers to Saturday. Garbage is not collected on Independence Day, while recycling and yard debris run as scheduled, and the county transfer station closes on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mountlake Terrace.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
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.
Yes, by either route. The Snohomish County transfer station at 21311 61st Place West accepts household sofas as garbage, and sofas are named in the county exception to the six foot limit that applies to other oversized items, so the fee is the standard per vehicle garbage fee. Waste Management will instead collect a bulky item from your address by special arrangement for a fee on 1-800-592-9995 if you would rather not haul it.Official guidance
Household garbage, sofas, appliances without refrigerant, mattresses and covered springs, clean scrap metal that is 85 percent metal or more, up to five passenger car or pickup tires per customer per day, lead acid batteries, motor oil and antifreeze in limited quantities, propane tanks of barbecue size, glass bottles and jars, flattened cardboard and paper, lawn mowers with the fluids drained, and cooking oil. Dangerous waste, yard and clean wood debris, electronics and cooling appliances are refused, and the recycling area is for residential customers only.Official guidance
The county station charges one garbage fee per vehicle rather than a price per item, so a couch, mattress or load of household junk costs the same light-load minimum as any other garbage trip, with a heavier vehicle charged by the ton on top of that. Appliances without refrigerant, lawn mowers with the fluids drained, clean scrap metal and the other listed recyclables cost nothing for residential customers. If you would rather have Waste Management collect the item from your address, that is a special arrangement with its own fee, so confirm the price on the phone first.Official guidance
