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.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.
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.
Count the furniture you want removed and empty drawers, shelves and cabinets. Add any other items to the booking instead of leaving an unlisted pile beside the furniture.

Couches and household furniture are bulk trash on the city's neighborhood schedule, and they are also household refuse at the district dumpsters.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee is published for the bulk trash route or the district dumpsters, and the landfill drop-off area states there is no fee for residential disposal.
When & how
Set furniture out by 6 a.m. on the neighborhood bulk trash date shown on the city calendar, or take it to a district dumpster Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove cushions and any loose parts, and keep the piece accessible from the street. Bag household garbage separately and leave it in the city cart, because loose bags on the ground are not collected.
Bulk trash runs separately from your weekly garbage day and follows the dated neighborhood calendar the city publishes. Put the pile out by 6 a.m. on your neighborhood's date, keep it reachable and clear of the roadway, and check the daily updates if you want to see when your area has been serviced.
Household garbage must be bagged inside the city-issued 96-gallon cart and placed in front of the home. Bags or loose material left on the ground beside the cart, on top of the cart, or in an alley are not collected, and clutter that will not fit the cart belongs in the bulk trash pile or at a district dumpster.
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.

Arrange it
Find your neighborhood on the city bulk trash calendar, set the pile out by 6 a.m. on that date, and check the daily updates to see when the area was serviced.
Holiday schedules can shift collection by a day, the pile must be reachable from the street, and hazardous material and commercial construction debris do not belong in it.

Use a city district dumpster
Mattresses, household refuse, trash and brush from a Birmingham residence.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city publishes no fee for the district dumpsters.
Arrange it
Use the Ensley location at 1044 Avenue West, Eastend at 301 96th Street North, North Birmingham at 2413 27th Street North, or Southside at 501 6th Avenue South, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. All four are closed Saturday and Sunday.
Hazardous items and commercial construction materials are not permitted at any of the four locations.
Birmingham residents have three municipal ways to move a large load: the neighborhood bulk trash route, the four district dumpsters, and the public unloading area at the Eastern Area Landfill. Household hazardous waste, appliances and electronics run through Jefferson County event days instead, with year-round electronics businesses listed for the rest of the year. Confirm each site's material list and hours before you load, and bring a driver's license if you use the landfill.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Birmingham.
How much does furniture removal cost in Birmingham?+
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 Birmingham?+
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.
Can a couch go out with bulk trash?+
Yes. Furniture rides the neighborhood bulk trash route and is also household refuse at the district dumpsters. Set it out by 6 a.m. on your neighborhood's bulk trash date, or take it to a district location during the week.Official guidance
How do the city collection days work?+
Each neighborhood has one dedicated day a week for household garbage and is marked as a week 1 or week 2 group, which decides the recycling week. Recycling runs every other week on the same day as garbage, and bulk trash follows its own dated neighborhood calendar.Official guidance
Who do I call about a missed pickup or illegal dumping?+
Contact 311 or call (205) 254-6314, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or submit the report through the MyBHAM311 app. The call center is closed on city holidays.Official guidance
