One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.
Add each furniture item and its quantity. See the combined price before you pay, with loading, transportation and disposal included.
Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

Furniture and sofas are named bulky waste at the Meriden Transfer Station and they are also eligible for the paid curbside pickup, so a couch leaves on one of those two routes. The station charges by the vehicle and the curbside program charges a flat appointment fee.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per vehicle per visit at the Meriden Transfer Station, where a car pays 10.00, a minivan or SUV 20.00, a pickup truck at level, full size van or single axle trailer 40.00 and a modified pickup, dump truck, double axle trailer or U-Haul 80.00, or a flat 50.00 for a curbside bulky waste appointment.

Everything brought to the Meriden Transfer Station has to come from the residential user, commercial and industrial waste is not accepted, and contractors are not granted access. Department of Public Works personnel are not permitted to help unload, so residents bring their own help, and proof of residency is required.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Meriden.
How much does furniture removal cost in Meriden?+
Choose the type and size of each piece to see its price. For example, a medium dresser is $79 as the first item or $29 as an additional item. Your total starts with the highest first-item price in your selection, then uses the additional-item price for every other item. Review the complete total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I get same-day furniture pickup in Meriden?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup and choose from the dates shown at checkout. Arrange to have the furniture outside according to your confirmation. You receive a text when your hauler is on the way and photos after collection.
Will you remove furniture from inside my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange indoor carrying, including any interior stairs or elevator trip. We load and take away the furniture from an accessible outdoor location. Check your building’s rules and plan the route out before booking.
Can you take several different furniture items in one pickup?+
Yes. Add each piece and its quantity to one booking. A dining table and four chairs are five items; a separate mirror is not included with a dresser. You can mix eligible items from different rooms and review their combined total before paying.
Do I need to take furniture apart before pickup?+
You arrange any disassembly needed to move the furniture out of your home and into an accessible outdoor pickup spot. Dropcurb does not provide indoor disassembly or carrying. If you are unsure which catalog choice matches a dismantled or unusual piece, send a photo and ask before booking.
How does a Meriden household get rid of a couch?+
Either through the paid curbside bulky waste pickup, which runs on Wednesdays by appointment for a flat fee and takes up to eight listed items, or by taking it to the Meriden Transfer Station on Evansville Avenue, where furniture and sofas are bulky waste charged by the vehicle. The station is open Mondays 10:00AM to 2:00PM, Wednesdays 7:00AM to 12:00PM and the first and third Saturdays 7:00AM to 12:00PM, and staff do not help unload.Official guidance
