One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.
Add each furniture item and its quantity. See the combined price before you pay, with loading, transportation and disposal included.
Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
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.

Furniture is collected on the city's Friday bulky route, one item per household per week, by appointment only.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city publishes no per-item fee for the Friday bulky and furniture collection. The fees it does publish are the mattress charge per piece and the recycling sticker for appliances and metal items, so the bulky appointment itself carries no published price.
When & how
Call 401-435-7701 to book the appointment by noon on Thursday, then leave the piece at the curb after 3 p.m. the same day for the Friday collection.
Get it ready
One item per household per week, at the curb the night before collection and clear of the rubbish cart, recycling cart and yard waste barrels. Cut rugs and carpeting to four-foot lengths and roll and tie them so they count as a bulky item rather than loose material.
Curb by 6 a.m., never before 3 p.m. the day before
Rubbish, recycling and yard debris go at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day and may not be out before 3 p.m. the day before. Everything goes inside the city cart, and anything left outside the cart is not collected and can draw a daily fine. Carts sit with the wheels and handle toward the curb and about three feet from yard waste barrels and recycling carts.
Book the Thursday deadline, then set out for Friday
The Friday bulky collection runs for the whole city by appointment, one item per household per week. Schedule it on 401-435-7701 before noon on Thursday and put the item at the curb after 3 p.m. that afternoon. A bulky item set out without an appointment, or rubbish piled at the curb, can lead to a daily fine.
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.
City of East Providence Refuse and Recycling Division with Rhode Island Resource Recovery
Book the Friday bulky collection
An East Providence household with a piece of furniture or another large item that will not fit in the city cart and is not on the mattress or appliance route.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city publishes no per-item fee for the Friday bulky collection, which is limited to one item per household per week. Its priced routes are the mattress schedule and the recycling sticker for appliances and metal items.
Arrange it
Call 401-435-7701, option 2, before noon on Thursday, then put the item at the curb after 3 p.m. that day.
One item per household each week, appointment only, and construction, demolition and remodelling material is never accepted. An unscheduled item at the curb can draw a daily fine, so the appointment comes first.
A household with a couch, chair or other piece that is still in usable condition.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city points residents at donation rather than disposal for furniture that is still usable and names the Furniture Bank of Rhode Island on 401-831-5511 along with other charitable organisations, so the route is a donation rather than a paid service.
Arrange it
Call the Furniture Bank of Rhode Island or another charity to ask whether it will take the piece, and arrange the handover before the Friday bulky appointment is booked.
These are independent charities rather than city services, and each sets its own condition standards and pickup arrangements, so confirm acceptance before the item leaves the house.
The self-haul routes for an East Providence address are the city yard and the state campus. At 60 Commercial Way the Department of Public Works takes e-waste, scrap metal, propane tanks, auto batteries, antifreeze, used motor oil, cooking oil, rigid plastic and used books Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the city publishes no rate for those drop-offs. The Resource Recovery campus in Johnston is where a mattress that is not torn or damaged goes free year-round, and its residential recycling area and small vehicle transfer station handle special and bulky drop-offs, while household hazardous waste is a free appointment-only Eco-Depot service. The campus brings material in Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to noon, and the operator publishes a separate accepted-materials and pricing list, so confirm the gate price before a load of anything other than bedding leaves the house. Construction and demolition debris has no municipal route at all and goes to the Johnston landfill or a private collector.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in East Providence.
How much does furniture removal cost in East Providence?+
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 East Providence?+
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.
Will the city take a couch from the curb?+
Yes, through the Friday bulky collection, which runs for the whole city by appointment only. One item per household per week is allowed, the appointment has to be booked by noon on Thursday, and the piece goes out after 3 p.m. that afternoon. The city asks residents to donate furniture that is still usable rather than setting it out.Official guidance
Who do I call about rubbish and recycling in East Providence?+
