$79 Flat Rate for Single Items
Getting rid of furniture comes down to five options: city bulk pickup (free but restricted), donation (if pieces are in good condition), self-haul to the dump ($30–80 per trip), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($79 for the first item, same day), or traditional junk removal companies ($150–600+). The fastest option depends on how many pieces you have and whether they're in donatable condition.

What happens to your furniture after pickup
Furniture in usable condition — structurally sound, clean, no major damage — is donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. Our haulers prioritize donation whenever possible. Wood furniture that can't be donated may be recycled or repurposed. Metal frames and hardware are sent to scrap processors. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities.
