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.

Opelika defines trash as limbs, grass clippings, furniture and appliances, metal objects and other non-hazardous material, so a sofa, couch or upholstered chair is a trash item rather than a garbage-cart item. Trash rides the same weekly route as the yard waste on the same day as the garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential collection service billed through Opelika Power Services, which covers the weekly cart and the trash and yard waste route, with a limit of five cubic yards of trash and yard waste per address each week. The city publishes no per-item furniture charge for an ordinary set-out.
When & how
Put the piece out on your normal collection day. Trash and yard waste are normally collected the same day as the garbage cart, though the city warns that leaf season, holidays and severe weather can push a pickup later in the week or delay it for several weeks.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at least five feet from mailboxes, power poles, tree lines and parked vehicles, and keep it out from under power, cable and phone lines, because crews will not collect trash under them. Bag or box anything loose that could blow away or wash toward a storm drain.
Bagged household waste belongs in the 95-gallon cart, and everything else the city hauls is trash: limbs, grass clippings, furniture, appliances, metal objects and other non-hazardous material. Trash goes out on the same day as the garbage cart and is handled by the knuckle-boom trucks, so a couch or a mattress never belongs in the cart and garbage never belongs in the trash pile.
Trash needs at least five feet of clearance from mailboxes, power poles, tree lines and parked vehicles, and crews will not collect a pile that sits under power, cable or phone lines, behind a parking space or on a vacant lot. Anything loose enough to blow away or wash down a storm drain has to be bagged or boxed, and styrofoam always has to be bagged. The garbage cart itself goes out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day and comes back to the house the same day, or a 10 dollar service fee applies.
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 inside the city limits with a couch, an upholstered chair, a metal item, a bagged pile of clutter or another oversized non-hazardous item that is too big for the garbage cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the residential collection service billed through Opelika Power Services, which covers the weekly garbage cart and the trash and yard waste route, with five cubic yards of trash and yard waste per address each week.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the normal collection day, bagged or boxed where they could blow away. No appointment is published for ordinary furniture or clutter.
Five cubic yards a week, five feet of clearance from obstructions, and no paint, iron, rocks, concrete, dirt, tires, auto parts, construction material or batteries.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Opelika.
How much does furniture removal cost in Opelika?+
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 Opelika?+
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 or a sofa from the curb?+
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's own definition of trash, and trash is collected on the same day as the garbage cart with the yard waste. Keep the piece five feet clear of mailboxes, poles, tree lines and vehicles and out from under power and communications lines, and keep it inside the five cubic yard weekly limit.Official guidance

How much trash will the city take in one week?+
