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 named on the bulky material list the loader truck handles, and the truck collects at the same location where the carts are serviced, on a route that runs separately from the weekly garbage pass.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city residential garbage account used by the address, which is billed monthly by the utility; no separate bulky item fee is published for furniture.
When & how
Set the piece out and let the loader truck come to it, which is an unscheduled service that can arrive on any weekday and take about two weeks. It does not run at the same time as the garbage cart route, and in areas where the carts are served from the street the loader truck may also work in the alley.
Get it ready
Place the furniture neatly behind the curb, or where the carts are serviced when the address has alley collection, and keep it away from fences, mailboxes, buildings and utility poles. Never fill the carts with furniture and never leave paints, solvents, oils or other liquids with a furniture pile.
Put bulky material where the carts are serviced, and keep it neat
Place large items neatly away from fences, mailboxes, buildings and utility poles, and behind the curb when the address has no alley pickup, without blocking an alleyway. Limbs should be cut under twelve feet long and under twelve inches in diameter, and the loader truck route does not serve both the street and the alley at one address.
Have the carts out by 6:00 A.M. on the collection day with the directional arrows pointing to the street or alley, behind the curb or on the shoulder rather than in the gutter or the street, and roll them back to a safe place near the house by 7:00 P.M. Bag household garbage, keep lids closed with nothing protruding, and keep carts away from buildings, fences, mailboxes and utility poles.
Liquids, ashes and building material stay out of the carts
Never place paints, solvents, flammable or other liquids, ashes, dead animals, oils or medical waste in a cart, and never fill a cart with building materials such as lumber, dirt, concrete or rocks. Those streams have their own route: the monthly household chemical collection takes paint, oil, cleaners, fuels, pool chemicals, pesticides and batteries, and the landfill refuses liquid and hazardous waste outright.
A holiday moves collection back a day, and Friday pickups move to Monday
When a holiday falls on a scheduled garbage day, the collection is generally rescheduled for the following day, except for Friday pickups which move to the following Monday. The 2026 calendar marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day with no changes and lists the shifted routes for New Year's Day, Juneteenth, the observed July 4th holiday, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Cover the load and bring a card, not a check, to the landfill
Every vehicle entering the Morgan County Regional Landfill has to be properly covered and secured, tailgates closed and tarp used as needed. Payment at the gate is cash, Visa, Discover or MasterCard, and checks are no longer accepted, with a minimum charge on small loads and a separate rate for tires and for approved asbestos.
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.

A household that would rather drive its own load than wait for the loader truck, or that has construction and demolition material, limbs or stumps to move.
Cost & conditions
From $30 per ton for garbage, trash, wood materials, construction and demolition, industrial waste and animals, with a minimum charge based on the first 740 pounds and higher published rates for state-approved asbestos and for tractor, trailer and heavy equipment tires.

Arrange it

A Decatur household that hauls its own load drives to the Morgan County Regional Landfill at 500 Landfill Drive in Trinity, open Monday to Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M., with hand-unloaders required through the gate 30 minutes before closing. The gate charges by the ton for garbage, trash, wood materials, construction and demolition, industrial waste and animals, with a minimum based on the first 740 pounds and separate rates for heavy equipment tires, passenger car and truck tires, and state-approved asbestos, and payment is by cash, Visa, Discover or MasterCard because checks are no longer accepted. Loads must be covered and secured, and the landfill refuses liquid waste and hazardous or toxic waste such as oil, paint, insecticides and batteries. The same site runs a recycling facility where loads under 500 pounds are free and larger loads are charged by the ton, and a mulch yard that gives compost away free to residents who load it themselves, while the city's monthly household chemical collection on the second Saturday at 1802 Central Parkway takes the paint, oil, cleaners, fuels and batteries the landfill will not bury.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Decatur.
How much does furniture removal cost in Decatur?+
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 Decatur?+
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.
Does Decatur collect a couch at the curb?+
Yes, furniture is on the acceptable list for the loader truck, which picks it up at the same location where the carts are serviced and runs separately from the weekly cart route. The service is unscheduled and can take about two weeks, so place the couch neatly behind the curb, away from poles, fences and mailboxes.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Decatur?+
The City of Decatur Solid Waste Department, part of Environmental Services, collects household garbage once a week in City-issued carts, up to two 95-gallon carts for an address, and runs the loader truck that takes bulky material, limbs and yard debris. The account is billed monthly on the Decatur Utilities bill, extra carts carry an extra monthly charge, and questions go to (256) 341-4740.Official guidance
Why is my bulky pile still at the curb?+
Because the loader truck is a separate, unscheduled route rather than an appointment: it can reach an address on any weekday and may take about two weeks, and it does not run at the same time as the garbage carts. A pile left somewhere other than where the carts are serviced, or a load the city refuses, such as contractor debris, will keep waiting until the department is called.Official guidance
Will the city take debris left by my contractor?+
No. Decatur refuses contractor debris by ordinance, and every contractor is required to haul away the material generated at a work site rather than leaving it for the city. The loader truck takes only small amounts of debris the homeowner generated, such as a few fencing panels, cabinets, carpet, a toilet or a minor shingle pile.Official guidance
