How to get rid of patio furniture and yard items

Keep furniture, yard waste, and grills or tanks in separate groups. Count individual pieces and confirm acceptance before arranging a donation or municipal collection. For example, Twin Cities ReStore's patio-furniture and grill program is seasonal, while NYC311 uses different rules for metal or plastic furniture, nonrecyclable wood items, and gas cylinders.

An item being outdoors does not automatically make it accessible. Move accepted items to an accessible outdoor location before pickup, and clear locked gates or other barriers. Do not dismantle a deck or cut structures apart. You can book before moving items outside, but the items must be outside and accessible when pickup occurs.

Dropcurb fits accepted outdoor leftovers such as individual patio chairs, regular patio tables, patio umbrellas, and charcoal grills. For accepted leftovers already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transport and disposal. Arrange an outdoor staging location and access before pickup; indoor carry-out is not available. If you cannot move the items outside yourself, use a service that includes indoor carrying.
