Does Lincoln pick up furniture?
Lincoln Transportation and Utilities Bulk Waste charges $30 per collection with 7-14 day waits, serving nearly 300,000 residents on an as-requested basis. The city won't take appliances, electronics, or tires that Dropcurb handles daily. Self-hauling to Bluff Road Landfill costs $25-50 per load plus your time and truck rental.
City program details: Lincoln Transportation and Utilities Bulk Waste. Frequency: as requested. Wait: 7-14 days. Fees: $30 per collection
University Place and Downtown Lincoln residents have limited options beyond the city's $30 program. The Bluff Road Landfill requires a pickup truck and charges by load weight, making costs unpredictable. 1-800-GOT-JUNK quotes $150-600+ after in-home estimates, while local haulers range $100-350 with varying quality and no insurance protection.
Dropcurb picks up furniture same-day in Lincoln for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
$30 sounds cheap until you wait two weeks and can't include your fridge.
Lincoln Transportation and Utilities leaves you hanging for up to 14 days, then won't even take that broken refrigerator. You end up paying $30 for partial service, then scrambling to find someone who actually handles appliances. That's two separate headaches for one cleanup job.

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.
