How DIY Drop-Off Works
Four steps, start to finish — book online, get your code, carry your item over, and drop it during your window.
Book & Pay
Verify your community’s property code, choose DIY, and pay securely online. Takes about two minutes — no calls needed.
Pick Your 30-Minute Window
Choose a day and time that works for you. Your access code is emailed right after booking, but it’s only valid during your selected window.
Carry It to the Zone
Bring your item to the Drop Zone during your window. Hand trucks and dollies are available on-site if you need a hand.
Enter Your Code & Drop It
Use your access code to open the zone, place your item inside, and you’re done. Stack items safely so the zone stays clear for your neighbors.

What You Can Drop Off
DIY works best for anything you’re comfortable carrying on your own — mattresses, furniture, boxes, and other bulk household items.
- Break it down where you can. Flatten boxes and disassemble furniture if possible — it keeps the zone organized for everyone.
- Use the hand trucks and dollies on-site. They’re there for you if your item is heavy or awkward to carry alone.
- Stack items safely and use the space efficiently. The Drop Zone is shared with your neighbors, so a little care goes a long way.
- Arrive during your scheduled window. Your access code only works for the 30 minutes you booked, so plan to get there on time.
Not accepted, without exception:
Paint & chemicals
Tires
Refrigerant-containing appliances
Items with known or suspected bed bugs

DIY Saves You the Most
A single-item junk removal pickup commonly runs around $150, and most haulers quote on site rather than online — so you find out the price after the truck arrives. DIY Drop-Off starts at $10 per item plus a $4.50 service fee, and you see the total before you book.

Comparison based on publicly reported average single-item junk removal pricing (2026). Actual competitor quotes vary by location and volume — the national haulers price on site, not online.
What Happens After You Drop It Off
Every item is sorted, not just hauled away. When you book, you tell us the item’s condition: good condition (clean, functional — eligible for donation), recyclable materials (mostly metal, wood, or other recyclable components), or not usable (goes to standard disposal). Good-condition items are routed to local donation partners, and recyclable materials are processed accordingly — keeping as much out of the landfill as possible.
DIY Drop-Off — Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between DIY and Outside-Door drop-off?
DIY is our most affordable option — carry your item to the Drop Zone yourself, enter your access code, and place it inside. Outside-Door is the step up: leave your item just outside your unit door and our crew picks it up and moves it to the zone for you — no lifting, no trip to the zone required.
How is DIY pricing determined?
DIY drop-off starts at $10 per item, plus a $4.50 service fee on every booking. The total you see when you book is exactly what you pay — no hidden fees.
What are the zone access hours?
DIY drop-offs are scheduled in 30-minute windows so the Drop Zone stays clear for everyone. You’ll pick your window when you book, and your access code is only valid during that time.
I booked DIY — what happens if I cancel?
Cancel before your scheduled Drop Window begins and you’re only out the $4.50 service fee. If you cancel after your window has already started, a $10 service disruption fee applies on top of that. The service fee isn’t refunded if you cancel — but it is refunded in full if we cancel or can’t complete your booking. Full details are in our
Cancellation and Refund Policy.
If I cancel my DIY booking, does my access code still work?
No. Your access code is only valid for the specific window it was issued for — cancelling or missing that window means the code stops working, even if it hasn’t technically expired by time yet.
What if I have multiple items to drop off?
No problem — each item is priced and booked individually, so you can drop off as many as you need during your window.
What items aren’t allowed in the zone?
No hazardous materials — that means no paint, chemicals, tires, or appliances containing refrigerants. We also can’t accept any item with a known or suspected bed bug infestation, without exception, for the safety of our crew and community.
How far in advance should I book?
Our schedule fills up quickly, especially on weekends. We recommend booking as soon as you know your date — but we often have next-day availability for DIY drop-offs.
