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.

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.

Old furniture is named as a bulky item in the weekly trash pile, which runs once a week on the same day as garbage and recycling for active city garbage customers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Active City of Tuscaloosa garbage collection customers inside the corporate city limits. The city states that residential customers are not charged for trash and recycling collection.
When & how
Put the furniture at the curb before 6 a.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day and before 7 a.m. from Labor Day through Memorial Day. Trash may not be placed in the street, and when a city holiday interrupts the week, routes resume on the next scheduled work day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile more than 3 feet from mailboxes, cars, fences, other carts and fire hydrants and out from under utility lines. Bag small loose pieces, and keep household garbage, recyclables, tires, hazardous waste, electronics and anything a paid contractor generated out of the pile.
Carts and the trash pile go out by 6 a.m. in summer and 7 a.m. in winter
Garbage, trash and recycling all come once a week on the same day. Carts and the trash pile have to be at the curb before 6 a.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day and before 7 a.m. from Labor Day through Memorial Day, carts come out of the city right of way by 8 a.m. the following day, and trash may not be placed in the street. Keep everything more than 3 feet from other carts, recycling bins, trash piles, parked cars, mailboxes, fences and fire hydrants, with the 5 feet the city FAQ asks for around a trash pile, and out from under utility lines.
All garbage is bagged inside the cart, carts are not overfilled and no extra bags are left on the ground. In the trash pile, all leaves and small items have to be bagged, and loose glass is only collected when it is broken into small pieces and placed inside a box that is taped shut.
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.

How much does furniture removal cost in Tuscaloosa?+

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.
