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.

Furniture that cannot be donated is named on the city's bulk trash list, so a couch goes out during the every-other-month bulk week rather than with the weekly trash. Mattresses share that collection week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the every other month bulk trash collection for Tempe residential solid waste customers, inside the published 10 cubic yard limit.
When & how
Put the furniture out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled bulk week, no earlier than 10 days before, in the same location as the regular trash and recycling collection.
Get it ready
Curbside addresses put the pile on the property line in the street or at the front edge of the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, and alley addresses put it along the fence line without blocking the alley. Keep glass, mirrors and unbagged trash out of the pile, and consider donation first, since the city lists furniture that cannot be donated.
The bulk pile has a two week window and a hard limit
Bulk trash and green organics go out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled collection week and no earlier than 10 days before it, and a holiday in that week does not move the collection. The pile is limited to 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as the size of a small SUV, and the city moves each address on its own every-other-month schedule rather than every week.
Trash and green organics go into two distinct piles four feet apart, and every item stays four feet away from a solid waste container, fire hydrant, gas meter, telephone or utility box. Nothing goes over a manhole cover, curbside addresses keep the pile on the property line in the street or at the front edge of the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, and alley addresses keep it along the fence line without blocking the alley.
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 Tempe residential solid waste customer with a couch, a mattress, bagged household trash, a small appliance without Freon, a washer or a microwave to clear out.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the residential solid waste service for Tempe customers on the every other month bulk trash week, inside the published 10 cubic yard limit.
Arrange it
Put the material out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled week and no earlier than 10 days before, in the same spot the regular trash and recycling carts go.
Appliances containing Freon, tires, glass or mirrors, unbagged or uncontained trash, chemicals, dirt, concrete and construction or remodeling debris are all prohibited in the pile, and the pile may not exceed 10 cubic yards.

Cost & conditions
The city lists the special bulk trash or green organics pickup as a fee service and gives the price by phone through Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311.
Arrange it
Call Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311 for pricing and to schedule a pickup outside the regular bulk week.
The same prohibited material list applies, because a special pickup is still the city's bulk collection rather than a hazardous waste or construction service.
A household that would rather clear out electronics, furniture, clothing, scrap metal, hazardous products or usable building material in one drive-through trip.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tempe or Guadalupe residents with proof of residency, which the city accepts as a current driver's license, a lease or rental agreement, mail with a name and address, a recent Tempe water bill or a student ID from an institution in Tempe.
Arrange it
The published next event is Saturday, Nov. 7 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tempe Fire Training Center at 1340 East University Drive, with the same drive-through procedure as the collection center.
Mattresses are expressly refused at the event, as are bulk trash, car seats, small foam items and anything from a commercial or industrial business, and accepted items can change from event to event.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tempe.
How much does furniture removal cost in Tempe?+
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 Tempe?+
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.
When can a couch go out in Tempe?+
During the bulk trash week for the address, which comes every other month. The city lists furniture that cannot be donated on the accepted bulk trash list, and the pile goes out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of that week and no earlier than 10 days before, in the same place the regular trash and recycling carts go.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Tempe?+
The City of Tempe does, through the Solid Waste Services section of the Public Works Department, so this is a municipal service rather than a private subscription. Garbage and recycling run weekly, bulky trash and green organics run every other month, and program questions go to Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311.Official guidance
When is my bulk trash week in Tempe?+
Every other month, on the schedule published for each address, with the material out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of that week and no earlier than 10 days before. A holiday in the collection week does not change the schedule, and the city notes that a collection may occasionally be delayed.Official guidance
