Furniture Removal in Nashville, TN: Best Options, Costs & Donation Centers [2026]

Nashville offers more furniture removal options than most mid-size cities, partly because the city's growth has created a competitive market for hauling services. Here is how each option stacks up for removing a typical piece of furniture like a sofa, dresser, or dining table.

If your furniture is still usable, donation is the most responsible option — and it is free. Several Nashville organizations offer pickup services for qualifying items.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore Nashville operates two locations: 908 Division Street in Nashville and 85 Elon Drive in Bell Buckle. The Division Street location is most convenient for Davidson County residents. They accept gently used furniture including sofas, tables, dressers, bed frames, and office furniture. They do not accept mattresses, upholstered items with stains or tears, or particle board furniture that is damaged. Schedule a free pickup through their website or call (615) 254-6815. Pickups typically happen within 3–7 days.

The Salvation Army Nashville Family Store at 140 North First Street accepts furniture donations with free pickup for larger items. They take sofas, tables, chairs, bedroom sets, and most household furniture in usable condition. Call (615) 259-2348 to schedule. Allow 3–10 business days for pickup.

Nashville Rescue Mission at 639 Lafayette Street accepts furniture donations for their residential programs. They are selective — items must be clean, functional, and in good repair.

The Room in the Inn at 705 Drexel Street accepts bed frames, dressers, and small tables for their transitional housing program.

For items that do not qualify for donation, professional removal is your next best option. Dropcurb picks up furniture curbside starting at $79 with no condition requirements — broken, stained, or otherwise undonatable furniture is no problem.

Metro Nashville Public Works provides free bulk item collection for residents of single-family homes and duplexes within Davidson County. Furniture is one of the most commonly collected item categories. To schedule, call 311 or use the Nashville Hub app. Place furniture curbside by 5:00 AM on your collection day. The program accepts up to 10 items per pickup request. Wait times fluctuate seasonally — expect 2–3 weeks in winter and 3–5 weeks in summer when move-outs spike. The service does not cover apartments, condominiums, or commercial properties. If your HOA restricts how long items can sit curbside, coordinate your placement timing carefully — some Nashville HOAs fine residents for furniture left at the curb more than 24 hours before scheduled collection.

When furniture cannot be donated and you want to haul it yourself, Davidson County operates two convenience centers. The Omohundro Convenience Center at 1414 Omohundro Place Nashville TN 37210 is the primary facility. Furniture disposal fees are based on vehicle size: $5 for a car or SUV, $24 for a small truck or trailer, and $48 for a full-size truck load. The East Nashville Convenience Center at 943 Doctor Richard G. Adams Drive Nashville TN 37207 offers the same services and pricing. Both facilities accept cash and checks only and operate Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Neither facility accepts mattresses with bed bug evidence — those must go to a licensed pest control disposal service. Standard mattresses without infestation are accepted at normal rates.

Not all furniture costs the same to remove. Here is what Nashville residents typically pay by item type across professional services.

Sofas and sectionals: $79–$250. Standard sofas fall at the low end with curbside services. Sectionals with 4+ pieces or sleeper sofas with internal mattress mechanisms cost more with full-service companies due to weight and disassembly time.

Mattresses and box springs: $79–$150. Most services charge per piece, so a mattress plus box spring is two items. Dropcurb charges $79 per piece. Some companies offer mattress-specific discounts.

Dressers and desks: $79–$200. Weight is the primary cost driver — solid wood dressers and executive desks cost more with full-service haulers who charge heavy item premiums.

Dining tables and chairs: $79–$175 for the table, often $25–$50 per chair with full-service companies. Dropcurb charges per item regardless of type.

Patio furniture: $79–$150 per item. Metal patio sets are heavy but straightforward. Wicker and plastic sets are light but bulky.

For a typical living room set (sofa, loveseat, coffee table, end tables), expect $316–$400 with Dropcurb curbside service versus $500–$900 with a full-service hauler.

Remove cushions and drawers before curbside pickup — it makes items lighter and easier to load, which means faster service. If you are donating, clean fabric surfaces and tighten any loose hardware. Take photos of items for donation organizations before scheduling pickup so they can confirm acceptance. For curbside services, place furniture as close to the street as possible without blocking sidewalks — Nashville Metro Code 17.20.120 prohibits obstructing pedestrian right-of-way. If you live in a neighborhood without curbside access (some downtown Nashville condos), you will need a full-service company that handles interior removal.
