Same-Day Curbside Junk Removal in Livonia

Mattresses count against Livonia DPW's two-large-items-per-week cap and tie up the slot every time. We grab any size mattress or box spring same-day — common request from families in the Rosedale Gardens Historic District and Burton Hollow upgrading bedrooms.

Sectionals, recliners, sleeper sofas from Livonia living rooms. Leave it at the curb on any street from Five Mile to Schoolcraft. Flat-rate, same-day, no disassembly needed.

Desks, dressers, dining tables, entertainment centers. Livonia families replacing furniture after a Laurel Park Place shopping run can clear the old stuff immediately instead of storing it for months.

Appliance removal in Livonia runs $134 with Dropcurb for a refrigerator, freezer, washer, or window AC unit — the $25 refrigerant recycling fee already baked into the per-item price, so the receipt never shows a separate disposal surcharge. Dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, and water heaters slot in under the standard $79-and-up per-item rate. Curb it before noon and the local hauler clears it same-day; book after the 12:00 PM cutoff and the unit is gone by tonight or first run the next morning, with photo confirmation by text when the truck pulls away. The catch with Livonia's setup — actually unusually generous by metro Detroit standards — is the cap, not the cost. The City of Livonia Department of Public Works runs a free large-item curbside program on top of the Priority Waste cart-trash contract: per livonia.gov / Large Item Pick Up, 'Household furnishings and appliances will be picked up routinely, without charge, by a separate truck on the regular collection day. Large item collection service does not need to be requested. (Limit of two large items per week) These items should be set out the evening before (after 6 p.m.) or prior to 7 a.m. of the collection day.' That two-large-items-per-week cap is the #1 friction point on the program. A kitchen remodel that pulls a fridge, range, and dishwasher in one weekend overshoots immediately — one piece waits the full week, or you self-haul, or you book a private hauler. The second wrinkle is appliance-specific: 'Doors must be removed from refrigerators or freezers before they are placed at the curb' (per livonia.gov). DPW trucks enforce it; a fridge with the doors still on regularly gets left at the curb and the resident gets a call to fix the set-out. The city does not require a refrigerant-evacuation tag at the curb, but EPA Section 608 still legally requires certified refrigerant recovery before a fridge, freezer, or window AC is shredded or landfilled (per epa.gov / Section 608), and Priority Waste's contractor handles that downstream. Beyond curbside, the city-run Refuse Disposal Site at the DPW yard is open Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round with resident ID required (per prioritywaste.com / Livonia); miss the two-day window and the unit sits another week. ERG Environmental Services sits inside Livonia city limits at 13040 Merriman Road, (734) 437-9650, and accepts refrigerant-containing appliances on the commercial side — but the free drop-off lane is RRRASOC-residents-only (Farmington, Farmington Hills, Milford, Milford Township, Novi, South Lyon, Southfield, Walled Lake, and Wixom — per rrrasoc.org). Livonia is Wayne County, not Oakland County / RRRASOC, so Livonia residents pay commercial rates at ERG or route to a Wayne County HHW event. Priority Waste's own transfer points are Pontiac Transfer Station at 501 Collier Rd, Auburn Hills (~21 miles NE) and J. Fons Co. Transfer Station at 6451 E McNichols Rd, Detroit (~18 miles east); Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road, Riverview, (734) 281-4290 is the closer Wayne County publicly-owned landfill at ~22 miles SE. None of those are sub-roll-off DIY-friendly for a single fridge unless you already own a pickup. The full-service nationals overshoot a single appliance every time. 1-800-GOT-JUNK runs a Detroit-metro franchise covering Livonia at (313) 356-7916 — the appliance landing page is explicit: 'Book your free onsite estimate online' against a $150+ minimum, volume-based, no online cart (per 1800gotjunk.com / appliance removal). College Hunks Hauling Junk lists a Livonia franchise on the corporate locator at $150–$800+ volume-based, no online quote, in-home walkthrough required (per collegehunkshaulingjunk.com / Michigan locations). Junk King's Detroit-metro coverage carries a $389+ minimum, ranges only published, on-site estimate. Junkluggers Detroit MI covers Livonia at $200–$600+ volume-based, donation-routed, no online pricing (per junkluggers.com / Detroit MI). Stand Up Guys does not operate in Michigan. Two Men and a Junk Truck® of Livonia at (734) 999-4846 prices by volume off a free on-site estimate — 'We primarily price by volume, based on how much space your items take up in our truck' — with no flat per-item online rate (per twomenandajunktruck.com / Livonia). The local jobber tier — C & R Junk Removal at 15561 Auburndale, Livonia 48154, (313) 549-3891, plus Appliance Hauling Pros' Livonia service page and the broader Yelp and Thumbtack roster — typically lands a single fridge or washer at roughly $80–$200, negotiable, on a phone quote with no online booking, no insurance trail, and no photo confirmation when the curb is clear. Dropcurb closes the gap. $134 flat for a curbside fridge, freezer, or window AC with the $25 refrigerant fee already baked in — no separate surcharge at checkout, no HVAC tech booking on the resident's calendar, no two-item-per-week cap to dance around, no door-removal-or-the-truck-leaves trip wire from the resident's side. $134 for a curbside washer in the same booking — no refrigerant issue, scrap routed through certified downstream. The canonical ladder fills in around an appliance pull when the cleanout is a whole-kitchen or whole-house reset rather than a single piece — common across the Rosedale Gardens Historic District anchor and the Coventry Gardens, Kimberly Oaks, Quakertown, Stark / Mid-Six, and Pinetree subdivisions, and especially across the 21.5% age-65-plus cohort aging in place in single-family ranches off the Five Mile through Eight Mile arterials between Plymouth Road and Schoolcraft. $79 for the couch in the living room, $79 for the dresser in the bedroom, $94 for the mattress, $99 for the TV with the $20 e-waste recycling fee already baked in, $134 for the washer in the laundry room, $134 for the fridge with the $25 refrigerant fee baked in — one booking, one ticket, one photo confirmation by text — across the 48150, 48151, 48152, 48153, and 48154 ZIPs from the I-96 / I-275 interchange in the northwest down to the M-39 / Southfield Freeway eastern edge. Dropcurb doesn't take hot tubs, pianos, construction debris like drywall, concrete, or rebar, hazardous chemicals, paint, batteries, oil, tires, or full-size safes — those still route through ERG on Merriman, the city Refuse Disposal Site Friday-Saturday window, or a specialty hauler. Most online junk-removal services start around $79; Dropcurb keeps that floor while skipping the in-home estimate.

Same-day TV pickup and certified recycling from $99.

Construction debris in Livonia runs into a wall the rest of the curbside route never sees. The City of Livonia contracts Priority Waste for curbside refuse, recycling, bulk, and yard-waste collection (per prioritywaste.com / Livonia), and the bulk lane is unusually generous for metro Detroit — appliances and household furnishings included on the regular collection day. But the line on the city bulk page is explicit: 'Household furnishings and appliances' only, capped at 'Limit of two large items per week' (per livonia.gov / Large Item Pick Up). Drywall scraps from a Rosedale Gardens kitchen refresh, the broken vanity slab from a Coventry Gardens bathroom redo, the lumber stack out of a Burton Hollow deck rebuild, the asphalt-shingle tear-off from a Quakertown re-roof, the concrete from a Kimberly Oaks driveway pour — set any of it next to the Priority Waste cart on collection day and the truck rolls past. The Department of Public Works at (734) 466-2200 does not run a separate municipal C&D lane on the regular route either. The one curbside-adjacent path for small construction loads is the city-run Refuse Disposal Site at 32300 Glendale Avenue, east of Farmington Road between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads. The accepted-items line is specific: 'Small amounts of building materials (up to a wheelbarrow full) including shingles and concrete' (per livonia.gov / Refuse Disposal Site). The wheelbarrow ceiling is the binding constraint for any real remodel. Hours are Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April 3 through December 19, 2026, then Saturday only 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through the winter — Livonia residents only with ID required. Gate fees are cash, by vehicle: $3 for an auto or wagon, $5 for a passenger van, $16 for a pickup, cargo van, or trailer up to 8 feet, and $16 plus $3 per foot for a trailer over 8 feet (same source). A pickup of drywall and 2x4s clears the gate at $16 — but only if the resident is willing to drive past the clerk who enforces the wheelbarrow line on building materials at the lane. The Refuse Disposal Site does not accept paint, gasoline, pesticides, fungicides, chemicals, or animal waste either (same source). For anything bigger than a wheelbarrow, the DIY route is a regional landfill drive. Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road, Riverview 48193, (734) 281-4263 is the closest commercial Type-II MSW landfill accepting C&D loads — about 22 miles southeast via I-275 to I-75. Solid-waste hours are Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Saturday and Sunday on the landfill side (per cityofriverview.com / Land Preserve). Per-ton tipping is quoted at the scale house. Carleton Farms Landfill (Republic Services) at 28800 Clark Road, Sumpter Township 48164 is the next-nearest large MSW and C&D landfill, roughly 25 miles southwest via I-275 (per michigan.gov / EGLE Site ID 390701). Per-load gate fees there are quoted at the scale house as well. For a full-room demo the in-market roll-off lane is Priority Waste's own dumpster rental program, ordered via the city's Bulk Order Form (per prioritywaste.com / Livonia), plus Bin There Dump That – Detroit West and Premier Disposal in the broader metro footprint. Dumpster pricing runs by load size and weight with a per-ton overage on construction loads — typically a 10-yard container for a single-room demo, scaled to whole-house gut jobs, sitting on the apron for three to seven days. The national full-service haulers do not fix the problem here. 1-800-GOT-JUNK's Detroit-area franchise covers Livonia, but the model is on-site estimate against a $150-plus minimum with no online price, and C&D prices as a loaded-truck line item, so a half-truck of drywall pushes that floor well above $300 (per 1800gotjunk.com). College Hunks Hauling Junk — Detroit West routes Livonia at $150 to $800-plus volume-based with an in-yard walkthrough required, no online quote (per collegehunkshaulingjunk.com). Junk King's Detroit-metro coverage carries a $389-plus minimum with ranges-only pricing, on-site estimate, and Light Construction listed as a stated vertical (per junk-king.com). Junkluggers Detroit covers Livonia at $200 to $600-plus volume-based, donation-routed, with no online pricing — donation routing makes C&D a marginal fit (per junkluggers.com). Stand Up Guys does not operate a Michigan service area at all (per standupguys.biz). Two Men and a Junk Truck of Livonia at (734) 999-4846 publishes online booking and same-day capacity, but the single-load construction rate is not posted at the cart — every quote sizes on arrival (per twomenandajunktruck.com / Livonia). The Yelp and Thumbtack independent bucket — C & R Junk Removal at 15561 Auburndale, Livonia 48154, (313) 549-3891 (per yelp.com), plus 3 Bears Junk Removal, Crew Junk Removal, Local Junk Removal and Dumpster Rentals, and Appliance Hauling Pros in the 48154 SERP — quotes light-C&D loads roughly $70 to $350 by phone, sometimes the cheapest single line in western Wayne County, but with no online booking flow, no insurance trail, and no photo confirmation when the curb is clear. Dropcurb does not haul drywall, concrete, rebar, brick, tile, or true construction or demolition debris — those still route to the Refuse Disposal Site within the wheelbarrow cap and Friday-Saturday window, a Priority Waste roll-off, or a Riverview Land Preserve self-haul run. Where Dropcurb fits a Livonia remodel cleanout is the soft fraction the dumpster did not need: the old kitchen cabinets pulled off the wall and staged at the curb in the Rosedale Gardens Historic District or Coventry Gardens, the vanity carcass from a Pinetree bathroom redo, the dead fridge ($134, with the $25 refrigerant recycling fee already baked into the per-item price), the washer the contractor pulled out ($134), the dresser from the bedroom being repainted ($79), the mattress from the guest room ($94), the TV pulled off the wall mount ($99, with the $20 e-waste recycling fee baked in), and the couch the contractor was using as a drop cloth ($79). One booking, one ticket, one photo confirmation by text when the curb is clear, across the 48150, 48151, 48152, 48153, and 48154 ZIPs from the I-96 / I-275 interchange in the northwest down to the M-39 / Southfield Freeway eastern edge. The pressure stacks where Livonia's housing stock did. The city is 95,535 residents at the 2020 Census, Wayne County's third-largest after Detroit and Dearborn (per Wikipedia / Livonia, Michigan), with an 87.2 percent homeownership rate — among the highest in Wayne County — across 35.85 square miles of mostly post-WWII single-family detached housing now hitting 60-to-80-year-old kitchen, bath, roof, and siding replacement cycles (per datausa.io / Livonia, MI). Curb it before the 12:00 PM same-day cutoff and the soft-demo pickup lands by tonight — locked online at checkout, no in-home walkthrough, no on-site re-quote, no phone call to Priority Waste, no waiting on the Friday-or-Saturday Refuse Disposal Site window. Book after the cutoff and the next-day slot is shown online at checkout, not after the truck rolls. The hauler texts an ETA before arrival and a photo confirmation when the soft fraction is gone — receipt evidence that matters when a neighbor on a Berwick or Auburndale block in the Rosedale Gardens Historic District is watching the apron between Priority Waste runs. Most online junk-removal services start around $79; Dropcurb keeps that floor while skipping the in-home estimate.

TV and electronics removal in Livonia runs into a structural gap every household in the 48150, 48151, 48152, 48153, and 48154 ZIPs hits the moment the new flat-screen arrives and the old set ends up on the patio. The City of Livonia contracts curbside refuse, recycling, yard waste, and bulk pickup with Priority Waste — customer service (586) 228-1200 or 1-855-927-8365 (per prioritywaste.com / Livonia) — and the routine large-item lane is unusually generous for a metro Detroit suburb. DPW publishes the line 'Household furnishings and appliances will be picked up routinely, without charge, by a separate truck on the regular collection day. Large item collection service does not need to be requested. (Limit of two large items per week)' (per livonia.gov / Large Item Pick Up). The catch on a dead TV: the city's Large Item Pick Up page enumerates 'household furnishings and appliances' but does not list televisions or computer monitors, and Priority Waste's curbside recycling stream does not absorb electronics either (per prioritywaste.com / Livonia). Set a 55-inch flat panel at the curb with the rest of the bulk on collection morning and the routine route has no documented bucket for it. The city's own backup is the Refuse Disposal Site at 32300 Glendale Avenue, east of Farmington Road between Schoolcraft and Plymouth — open Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April 3 through December 19, 2026, Saturday-only 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in winter, Livonia residents only with ID required, per-vehicle cash fee of $3 for a car, $5 for a van, and $16 for a pickup or trailer up to 8 feet plus $3 per foot over (per livonia.gov / Refuse Disposal Site). The site absorbs the predictable household stream — ashes, automobile parts, carpeting, furniture, attic, basement, and garage clutter, small amounts of building materials, plus up to 10 tires at $5 per tire — but it sits in the same Friday-and-Saturday-only window for a city of 95,535 residents (2020 Census per Wikipedia / Livonia, Michigan). Miss the two-day window and the TV waits another week, with the Public Works office at (734) 466-2200 as the routing call for anything off the standard cart stream. The non-curbside electronics ladder splits across lanes, none of them Livonia-DPW-curbside. ERG Environmental Services sits inside Livonia city limits at 13040 Merriman Road, (734) 437-9650, and runs the contractor drop-off for RRRASOC (the Resource Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County) — free Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. drop is restricted to RRRASOC member residents: Farmington, Farmington Hills, Milford, Milford Township, Novi, South Lyon, Southfield, Walled Lake, and Wixom (per rrrasoc.org). Livonia sits in Wayne County, not Oakland County / RRRASOC, so a Livonia resident standing in the ERG lot with a dead flat-panel pays commercial rates or routes back to a Wayne County household-hazardous-waste event. PADNOS publishes a Livonia recycling-center entry on its locations index and pays per pound on circuit boards, computers, smartphones, cables, wires, hard drives, printers, keyboards, tablets, and speakers (per padnos.com / Locations) — a paid scrap lane for the long-tail electronics, not a free residential TV drop-off. STS Electronic Recycling at (844) 699-2913 publishes a Livonia service-area page, but the program scope is explicit: 'Businesses, medical facilities, and schools in Livonia, MI' — commercial and institutional only, not a residential single-TV solution (per stselectronicrecyclinginc.com / Livonia). Big-box take-back is the de-facto free residential channel for everything except the TV itself. Staples accepts free residential electronics at the Livonia store within published per-day limits but does not take televisions (per staples.com / Recycling Services). Best Buy accepts up to three e-waste items per household per day at the customer-service desk and is the main retail lane for residents trying to recycle a TV at all — Michigan stores charge a per-unit recycling fee on televisions at the counter (per bestbuy.com / Recycling), priced into a flat schedule residents do not see until the set is at the register. Stack the cost-and-time math on a single dead TV out of Livonia and the curbside option is missing on the routine route, the city Refuse Disposal Site is a Friday-or-Saturday cash run with the gate open two days a week April through December and Saturday-only in winter, ERG is closed to non-RRRASOC residents on the free lane, PADNOS pays per pound on circuit boards and scrap but is not a free TV drop, STS is commercial-only, Staples skips TVs, and Best Buy charges at the counter. The full-service nationals all overshoot a single TV. 1-800-GOT-JUNK runs the Detroit-metro franchise covering Livonia on volume-based truck pricing with a $150-plus minimum and a free on-site estimate required before the truck books — no online cart on a per-item TV (per 1800gotjunk.com). College Hunks Hauling Junk routes a Detroit-metro franchise into Livonia at $150 to $800-plus volume-based, in-home walkthrough required, no online quote (per collegehunkshaulingjunk.com / pricing). Junk King's Detroit-metro coverage carries a $389-plus minimum, ranges-only published pricing, on-site estimate (per junk-king.com). Junkluggers Detroit covers Livonia on volume-based donation-routed quotes at $200 to $600-plus with no online pricing (per junkluggers.com). Stand Up Guys is Southeast-US regional only and does not operate in Michigan. Two Men and a Junk Truck of Livonia at (734) 999-4846 publishes online booking and same-day capacity, but the single-TV rate is not posted at the cart — every quote sizes on arrival (per twomenandajunktruck.com / Livonia). The Yelp and Thumbtack independent bucket — C & R Junk Removal at 15561 Auburndale, Livonia 48154, (313) 549-3891, open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week (per yelp.com), plus Appliance Hauling Pros' Livonia service page (per appliancehaulingpros.com) and the broader metro-Detroit roster — quotes single-TV jobs by phone, sometimes the cheapest single line in Wayne County, but the price is negotiated, with no online booking flow, no insurance trail, and no photo confirmation when the curb is clear. Dropcurb closes the gap. $99 flat for a TV with the $20 e-waste recycling fee already baked into the per-item price — no separate disposal surcharge on the receipt, no on-site re-quote, no phone call before the price locks, no Friday-or-Saturday drive across town to the DPW yard. Stack a second TV, a monitor, an old laptop, a printer, a DVD or VHS player, a stereo head unit, a game console, or the dead cable box onto the same ticket and add-on prices stay visible at online checkout before the booking confirms. Curb it before the 12:00 p.m. local same-day cutoff and the pickup lands by tonight; book after the cutoff and the next-day slot locks at checkout. The hauler texts an ETA before arrival and a photo confirmation by text when the curb is clear — receipt evidence that matters across the Rosedale Gardens Historic District off Plymouth Road at Berwick and Auburndale (the NRHP-listed 1920s plat), Coventry Gardens, Burton Hollow, Castle Gardens, and the Greenmead Historical Park area around Eight Mile and Newburgh, where exterior covenants and DPW set-out timing both apply. The volume problem stacks where Livonia's housing stock did. The city is 95,535 residents in the 2020 Census, $98,460 median household income (2024 ACS), $281,100 median property value (+5.96% year over year), 87.2% owner-occupied — well above the 65.2% national rate — with a median age of 45.6 and 21.5% of residents age 65 or older, across 35.86 square miles at roughly 2,676 residents per square mile (per Wikipedia / Livonia, Michigan; per DataUSA / Livonia, MI). The TV-upgrade pockets are predictable: the Rosedale Gardens Historic District and the surrounding mature owner-occupied plats in late-cycle electronics turnover, Coventry Gardens and Burton Hollow on the basement-clean-out cycle, Castle Gardens, and the Greenmead-area blocks around Eight Mile and Newburgh — all heavy on single-family stock in the first or second flat-panel replacement cycle. The mile-road grid does the geographic work: Five Mile, Six Mile, Seven Mile, and Eight Mile Roads east-west; Middlebelt, Inkster, Merriman, Farmington, Newburgh, and Haggerty Roads north-south; I-96 (the Jeffries Freeway) cutting east-west across the city center; I-275 along the western edge at the Plymouth Road interchange; and the M-14 / Plymouth Road corridor in the south. The civic anchors that drive household-electronics turnover — Ford Motor Company's Livonia Transmission Plant, Trinity Health St. Mary Mercy Hospital, Roush Performance, Schoolcraft College, Mastronardi Produce, the Livonia Marketplace (former Livonia Mall site, anchored by Walmart and Aldi), and Wonderland Village (former Wonderland Mall, anchored by Walmart and Target) — feed mature owner-occupied households cycling home-office monitors, gaming-console upgrades, post-remodel flat-panels, and aging-in-place entertainment-center clears across the 21.5% age-65-plus cohort in single-family ranches between Plymouth Road and Schoolcraft. Curb it on the apron — the busted flat-panel out of a Rosedale Gardens basement clear, the CRT stack out of a Burton Hollow estate cleanout, the monitor pile from a Civic Center District home-office downsize, the dead cable-box and DVD-player graveyard from a Castle Gardens entertainment-room redo, the printer-and-fax stack from a Coventry Gardens home refresh — and stage the rest of the cleanout on the same booking. The canonical ladder fills in around the TV: $79 for a couch or dresser, $94 for a mattress or box spring, $99 for the TV with the $20 e-waste recycling fee already baked into the per-item price, $134 for a fridge with the $25 refrigerant recycling fee baked in, $134 for a washer. One booking, photo-confirmed, no separate trip against the DPW two-large-items-per-week cap, no Friday-or-Saturday Refuse Disposal Site drive, no ERG counter argument over Wayne-versus-Oakland residency, no business-hour PADNOS scrap-yard run for the long-tail pieces. Dropcurb does not haul hot tubs, pianos, full-size safes, true construction debris like drywall, concrete, or rebar, or loose hazardous waste like paint, solvents, fluorescent tubes, batteries, oil, or tires — those still route through ERG on Merriman, the city Refuse Disposal Site Friday-Saturday window, PADNOS for paid scrap, or a Wayne County household-hazardous-waste event. Most online junk-removal services start around $79; Dropcurb keeps that floor while skipping the in-home estimate.

Treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches from Livonia basement gyms. Get it curbside and we handle the rest — common request along the Five Mile Corridor.

Garage cleanouts, move-out loads, post-renovation debris. Add items to your order, see the total upfront. Way faster than splitting a multi-item load across DPW's two-large-items-per-week cap or self-hauling to the Friday-Saturday Refuse Disposal Site.
