Who Will Pick Up Old Furniture? 8 Options [2026]

Four types of organizations pick up old furniture at no charge:

• •Habitat for Humanity ReStore: Accepts gently used furniture, appliances, and home goods. Free pickup available in most metro areas. Schedule at habitat.org/restores. Your donation is tax-deductible.
• •Salvation Army: Picks up working furniture in good condition for free. Schedule at satruck.org or call your local branch. Items must be free of stains, tears, and structural damage.
• •Goodwill (via ReSupply): Some Goodwill locations partner with ReSupply for home pickups, often within 48 hours. ReSupply retrieves items from anywhere in your home.
• •Local charities and churches: Veterans thrift stores, Faith Farm, homeless shelters, and religious organizations often accept furniture donations with free pickup.

The key requirement: furniture must be in resellable or usable condition. Broken, stained, ripped, or structurally damaged pieces are not accepted by any charity.

Broken, stained, or worn-out furniture that charities won't accept still needs to go somewhere. Your options:

• •Dropcurb curbside pickup ($79): Place the furniture at your curb and book online. A hauler picks it up same day, any condition. No need to be home.
• •City bulk pickup (free, slow): Schedule through your city's waste department. Wait times: 2-8 weeks. Some cities limit you to 2-4 items per pickup.
• •Full-service junk removal ($100-$300+): Companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and LoadUp will come inside your home to remove furniture. Costs more because they send a two-person crew.
• •Self-haul to dump ($20-$60): If you have a truck, haul it to your local landfill or transfer station. Tipping fees vary by weight and location.

Some furniture retailers offer haul-away when delivering a new purchase:

• •IKEA: Does not offer haul-away or furniture disposal in most locations.
• •Ashley Furniture: Select locations offer haul-away with delivery for an additional fee ($25-$50). Call your local store.
• •Rooms To Go: Offers haul-away in some markets with new delivery. Fee varies.
• •Mattress Firm: Removes old mattresses and box springs with new purchase (fees vary by state due to recycling laws).
• •Bob's Discount Furniture: Does not offer furniture removal in most areas.

Retailer haul-away is only available when buying a replacement. If you're just getting rid of old furniture without a new purchase, you'll need a separate removal service.

Furniture pickup pricing depends on the service and number of items:

• •Single piece: $79-$175
• •2-3 pieces: $100-$300
• •Full room of furniture: $200-$500
• •Whole house cleanout: $400-$800+

Dropcurb charges $79 for the first piece, plus $29-$39 for each additional large piece. A couch, loveseat, and coffee table = $79 + $39 + $29 = $147 total. No on-site estimates, no surprise fees — you see the exact price before booking.

Same-day furniture pickup is available through curbside junk removal services. Charities and city programs require advance scheduling — usually 3 days to 8 weeks out. For today:

• •Move the furniture to your curb or driveway
• •Book Dropcurb online (60 seconds, instant pricing)
• •A local hauler picks it up the same day

No need to wait around for a pickup window. The hauler grabs it from the curb whenever they arrive in your area.
