Furniture Removal Service Near Me: Compare Prices & Options [2026]

Furniture removal costs vary dramatically depending on who picks it up and whether the item is inside your home or at the curb.

Curbside furniture removal is the cheapest option. Dropcurb charges $79 for the first item with additional pieces at $19 to $39 each. A couch and loveseat set costs about $118 total. You move furniture outside, a hauler loads it, and it is gone — often the same day.

Per-item marketplace services like LoadUp charge $80 to $200 per furniture item. A couch costs $80 to $200, a mattress runs about $100, and a dresser costs $70 to $130. Every order also includes a $50 to $80 service area fee.

Franchise full-service removal ranges from $150 to $400+ for furniture jobs. Companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College Hunks send a two-person crew to carry furniture from wherever it sits in your home. Pricing is volume-based — the more furniture, the higher the truck fraction and cost.

Free options exist but require patience. Donation pickup from Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army, or Goodwill is free for furniture in good condition. Scheduling takes 1 to 4 weeks. Municipal bulk pickup is free but takes 2 to 8 weeks and limits the number of items per pickup window.

Most furniture removal services accept every type of residential furniture.

• •Seating — couches, sectionals, recliners, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, office chairs, patio chairs

• •Bedroom — bed frames, headboards, footboards, nightstands, dressers, armoires, vanities

• •Living room — coffee tables, end tables, entertainment centers, TV stands, bookshelves

• •Dining — dining tables, buffets, china cabinets, bar stools

• •Office — desks, filing cabinets, cubicle panels, conference tables

• •Outdoor — patio sets, outdoor tables, lawn chairs, umbrellas, grills

Condition does not matter for removal services. Broken, stained, water-damaged, and bedbug-infested furniture is accepted. Donation pickups only accept furniture in good, resalable condition — no rips, stains, structural damage, or pest contamination.

The Junkluggers specifically markets eco-friendly furniture disposal, claiming to donate or recycle 60% or more of items collected. If responsible disposal matters to you, ask any service where your furniture will end up before booking.

The choice between curbside and full-service furniture removal depends on whether you can get furniture outside.

Curbside furniture removal costs $79 and works when you can move items to the curb, driveway, or sidewalk. Most furniture — couches, tables, chairs, dressers, bed frames — can be moved by one or two people using a furniture dolly or by sliding on moving blankets.

Full-service furniture removal costs $150 to $400+ and is necessary when furniture is too heavy to move alone (sleeper sofas, solid wood armoires), located on upper floors with narrow stairways, or when physical limitations prevent you from carrying heavy items.

The math is straightforward. A couch at the curb costs $79 through Dropcurb. The same couch carried from a second-floor apartment costs $150 to $250 through a franchise. That $70 to $170 difference pays for 10 to 30 minutes of labor from two people carrying a couch down stairs and out a door.

If you have five furniture items and can move three to the curb but need help with two heavy pieces, split the job. Pay $79 for curbside removal of the easy items and schedule full-service only for the pieces you physically cannot move.

Four ways to get furniture removed for free.

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist "free" listings move furniture fast. Post a photo with "free, must pick up" and furniture in decent condition typically gets claimed within hours. You do zero work beyond posting and unlocking the door.

Donation pickup from Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Salvation Army, and Goodwill is free for furniture in good condition. Scheduling takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on your location and demand. Not all locations offer pickup — some require you to drop off.

Municipal bulk pickup is free for residents in most cities. Call your public works department or check online scheduling. Wait times range from 2 to 8 weeks. Most cities limit pickups to 3 to 5 items per collection window.

Nextdoor "free" posts reach your immediate neighborhood. Neighbors with trucks often pick up free furniture the same day it is posted. This works especially well for items too large to fit in a standard car.
