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.

The furniture goes outside. We take it from there.
Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from an accessible outdoor spot. A little preparation makes it clear which pieces are going and how to reach them.
Book before moving items outside, then follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Contact us before booking if your building only allows a short pickup window; the booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.

A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

The city's knowledge base answer to what bulk items the city picks up names four groups: furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, all collected by the Refuse Department. That single sentence is the whole published bulky route for Charleston.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city lists furniture, appliances, televisions and tires as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky item fee, so the draft does not assert one. Confirm the arrangement with the department before set-out.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement rather than a published bulky day, which the city does not print.
Get it ready
Keep the items out of the recycling container and separate from bagged household garbage, and contact the department to arrange the pickup because the city publishes no appointment rule, item limit or fee. Anything outside the four named groups should be confirmed before it is set out.
Furniture is the first item named in the city's bulk answer, so a couch or another household furnishing goes through the Refuse Department rather than the recycling container.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is named in the city's bulk answer with no published fee, so the draft states the acceptance and leaves the arrangement to the department.
When & how
Through the Refuse Department on its own arrangement, since the city publishes no bulky day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the recycling container and away from the bags, and contact the department to arrange the pickup. Donate anything still usable first, because the city's route is disposal rather than reuse.
Call for furniture, appliances, televisions and tires
The city's published bulky route is a sentence rather than a schedule: the Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires. No fee, item limit or appointment rule is printed, so contact the department to arrange the collection and confirm anything outside those four groups before it goes to the curb.
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 Charleston Public Works and Refuse Department, with the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority
Ask the Refuse Department for a bulky pickup
A city household with furniture, an appliance, a television or a tire to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city names those four groups as items the Refuse Department picks up and publishes no bulky fee, so the acceptance is stated without a price.
Arrange it
Contact the Refuse Department, describe the items and arrange the collection, then set them out as directed rather than on a fixed bulky day.
Only the four published groups, no printed item limit or fee, and anything else has to be confirmed first or routed through the county recycling directory.
Self-hauling in Charleston runs through the city first and the county second. The city Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires, and the same weekly trash day carries the recycling, with cardboard, mixed paper, aluminium and steel cans and plastics numbered one and two accepted while glass and the higher numbered plastics are refused. Leaves are bagged for the trash day or raked to the street edge for the supplemental loose leaf collection that starts in early November. For anything outside those routes, the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority keeps a directory of drop-off locations, naming its own Charleston facility and West Virginia Cashin Recyclables in Nitro for common recyclables and a metals business for metal, and the authority warns that the options change often, so a call before loading is the practical step.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Charleston.
How much does furniture removal cost in Charleston?+
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 Charleston?+
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.
What bulk items does Charleston pick up?+
The city's own answer is short: the Refuse Department picks up furniture, appliances, televisions and tires. No fee, appointment rule or item limit is published alongside it, so contact the department to arrange the collection, and confirm anything outside those four groups before setting it out.Official guidance
Will Charleston collect a couch?+
Furniture is the first item the city names when it answers what the Refuse Department picks up, so a couch goes through that department rather than the recycling container. No fee or bulky day is published, so contact the department to arrange the collection.Official guidance
What will the City of Charleston pick up?+
The city's own bulk answer names furniture, appliances, televisions and tires for the Refuse Department, and the weekly refuse route carries bagged household garbage with recyclables on the same day. Leaves go out bagged on the trash day or raked to the street edge for the supplemental collection, and anything else, scrap metal above all, goes through the Kanawha County recycling directory.Official guidance
