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 hauler runs a free curbside bulky waste pickup once a calendar year for up to five large items. Furniture, appliances, mattresses, exercise equipment, carpet and empty power yard equipment are eligible, while glass items, home improvement material and electronics are not.
The handoff matters
Large items do not go out on their own. Call University Place Refuse and Recycling at 253-564-3212, name every item you want collected, and take the date the office gives you. The hauler books only the current and following month, the account has to be in good standing, and nothing can be added once the pickup is scheduled. Items go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the assigned day and not before 5 p.m. the day before.

Leave three feet of clearance around every cart, at least five feet from parked vehicles and 18 feet of overhead clearance, and keep the load inside the cart's weight limit, which runs from 50 pounds in the smallest cart to 200 pounds in the 96 gallon cart.
