Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

The city puts household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings in one curbside bulk category, and the refuse rules page states that this material may be placed between the sidewalk and curb on collection day. No appointment and no separate charge are published for that route because the refuse service is billed on the annual tax bill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential refuse fee that the property pays on its tax bill, with no separate charge published for bulk refuse placed out on the regular collection day. The city charges separately only for the on demand extra collection service, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.
When & how
Put the bulk material out with the container on the regular refuse collection day, at the curb by 6:30 a.m. and no earlier than the night before.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from refrigerators and other appliances with latches, tie loose wood, trees, bushes and hedges in bundles no longer than four feet, no thicker than 18 inches and no heavier than 60 pounds, and remove nails from discarded lumber or bend them over so no point is exposed. The city does not collect radioactive, volatile, highly flammable, explosive, biomedical, infectious, toxic or hazardous material, and it does not collect waste generated by a contractor.
Household furniture is the first item named in the city's curbside bulk category, so a couch or a sofa goes out with the weekly refuse on the regular collection day and needs no appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential refuse fee billed on the tax bill, with no separate charge published for a furniture piece placed out on the regular collection day.
When & how
Place the piece between the sidewalk and curb on the regular refuse collection day, at the curb by 6:30 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the wheeled container and put it at the curb as a bulk item, and keep it clear of the container so the collection crew can reach both. Furniture is not one of the items the city refuses, but contractor-generated waste, hazardous material and the prohibited waste categories are.
Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go between the sidewalk and curb on the regular collection day, with no appointment. Remove the door from a refrigerator or another appliance with a latch, tie long pieces in bundles within the published length, thickness and weight limits, and remove nails or bend them over. Contractor-generated waste and hazardous material are not part of this route.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Book the on demand refuse collection
A household with extra refuse from a move-out, a gathering or a small home improvement project that cannot wait for the next collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city describes payment at the time the collection agreement is signed but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with the Commercial Refuse Business Office at 428-6928, which also explains the other options available to property owners.
Arrange it
Contact the Commercial Refuse Business Office, describe what needs to be collected, meet the representative on site to sign a collection agreement, pay at that time, and the collection is scheduled for the next business day.
The service is a paid extra collection rather than part of the weekly route, payment is made at the agreement stage, and the same prohibited waste rules apply to what can be collected.
Rochester households can self haul to the Monroe County ecopark at 10 Avion Drive, open Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed on holidays. The site is for Monroe County residents only, an appointment is required only for household hazardous waste, and the recycling stations are self-serve apart from that stream. Electronics, appliances, scrap metal, rechargeable and button batteries, fluorescent and CFL bulbs, sharps and syringes, pharmaceuticals, paper for shredding and household hazardous waste by appointment are all taken there. Tires carry a fee that depends on whether they are on or off the rim with a limit of four tires per person, an appliance that still contains refrigerant carries its own fee, and mattresses, household garbage, building materials, alkaline and lead acid batteries, used motor oil, asbestos, PVC pipe, radioactive materials, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and Styrofoam food containers are refused.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rochester.
How much does furniture removal cost in Rochester?+
Choose the type and size of each piece to see its price. For example, a medium dresser is $79 as the first item or $29 as an additional item. Your total starts with the highest first-item price in your selection, then uses the additional-item price for every other item. Review the complete total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I get same-day furniture pickup in Rochester?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup and choose from the dates shown at checkout. Arrange to have the furniture outside according to your confirmation. You receive a text when your hauler is on the way and photos after collection.
Will you remove furniture from inside my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange indoor carrying, including any interior stairs or elevator trip. We load and take away the furniture from an accessible outdoor location. Check your building’s rules and plan the route out before booking.
Can you take several different furniture items in one pickup?+
Yes. Add each piece and its quantity to one booking. A dining table and four chairs are five items; a separate mirror is not included with a dresser. You can mix eligible items from different rooms and review their combined total before paying.
Do I need to take furniture apart before pickup?+
You arrange any disassembly needed to move the furniture out of your home and into an accessible outdoor pickup spot. Dropcurb does not provide indoor disassembly or carrying. If you are unsure which catalog choice matches a dismantled or unusual piece, send a photo and ask before booking.
Do I need an appointment for a bulk pickup in Rochester?+
No. Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go out on the regular refuse collection day between the sidewalk and curb, in the same weekly service the annual refuse fee pays for. There is a separate on demand service for an extra collection such as a move-out or a small home improvement project, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.Official guidance
Will Rochester take a couch at the curb?+
Yes. Household furniture is named in the city's curbside bulk category together with bedding, mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings, and all of it goes out on the regular refuse collection day rather than on a special appointment. Put the piece between the sidewalk and curb by 6:30 a.m., keep the wheeled container accessible, and remember that contractor-generated waste and hazardous material are not collected.Official guidance
What does Rochester charge for refuse and bulky items?+
Residential refuse is billed on the annual tax bill rather than per pickup, and the published annual table lists the fee for a one unit residential property with higher figures for two and three unit properties and a separate schedule for a property that is primarily residential but partly used for a non residential purpose. Bulk refuse on the regular collection day and home originated tires are part of that weekly service with no separate charge published. The extra on demand collection is a paid service arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office, and the county ecopark charges only for its fee-based categories, which are tires and appliances that still contain refrigerant.Official guidance
