First item from $79 · Additional items from $19 each

Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Your old appliances

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.

New York City's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

DSNY eliminated bulk pickup appointments — residents now place up to 6 large items at the curb on their regular collection day at no charge. The catch: mattresses and box springs must be sealed in a plastic bag or encasement (available at hardware stores for $5-15). CFC appliances (fridges, freezers, window ACs) still require a separate 311 request for Freon recovery. NYC bans all e-waste from curbside trash — TVs, computers, and monitors must go to SAFE Disposal events (scheduled by borough, check nyc.gov/safedisposal) or permanent drop-off sites. Full-truck junk removal in NYC runs $500-$1,000 from traditional services. Flat Rate Junk Removal charges $0.85 per cubic foot. 1-800-GOT-JUNK serves all five boroughs at $150-$600+ with mandatory in-person estimates. LoadUp starts at $79/item plus service area fee. Junkluggers NYC uses volume-based pricing. The real cost of DIY disposal: a U-Haul rental ($89) plus 4 hours of your time at NYC's effective wage ($28/hour) totals $201 in opportunity cost. NYC Sanitation Convenience Centers accept furniture and bulk items for free but require self-transport — most are in outer boroughs with limited hours.
