How to get rid of a dresser (fast, cheap, or free)
A solid dresser can be donated or sold; a wobbly particle-board one mostly can't. Dropcurb takes either from the curb for $79 — same-day when you book by 2 PM, drawers and all.

Every way to get rid of a dresser, compared
| Option | Timeline | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dropcurb curbside pickup | Same-day (book by 2 PM) | $79 | Set it at the curb, driveway, or alley with the drawers in — solid wood, laminate, or missing a drawer, all the same price. |
| Charity donation pickup | 1–2 weeks | Free | Goodwill and Habitat ReStore take furniture that's clean and structurally sound — pieces that are broken, water-damaged, or missing parts get refused, and the driver makes the final call at your door. |
| Sell or give away online | Days to a week | Free, maybe earn | Solid-wood dressers genuinely sell — but only photographed, listed, messaged about, and carried out for a stranger, and flat-pack ones barely move even free. |
| City bulk trash pickup | Trash day to 8 weeks, city-dependent | Free | Fast in some cities, slow in others: Los Angeles collects bulky items free on your regular trash day, Phoenix books appointments capped at four per year, and Houston collects furniture only in even-numbered months. |
| Retailer haul-away | With new furniture delivery only | Free–$159, retailer-dependent | Most chains only remove old mattresses with a delivery — Living Spaces won't take a dresser — and where Ashley stores offer haul-away, reported pricing runs around $159 per item. |

How dresser pickup works
Book in 60 seconds
Select the dresser, add the rest of the bedroom set if it's all going, and see the exact total. Book by 2 PM for same-day.
Set it at the curb
Curb, driveway, or alley. Empty the drawers, leave them in — pulling drawers actually makes a dresser lighter to carry if you need it.
Get the photo confirmation
A local hauler picks it up, usually within about 3 hours, and texts you a photo the moment it's gone.
