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.

Household furniture is named first on the acceptable list for the annual Bulky and Reuse Pick-Up, so a couch is collected at the curb on a scheduled day rather than left out with the carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One Bulky and Reuse Pick-Up a year at no charge for a single-family address of four units or less and for multi-family complexes of five units or more. Additional pickups can be arranged for a fee.
When & how
Call Alameda County Industries on (510) 483-1400 to book the pickup. Appointments are not available during the first two full weeks in January or the first full week of June and October, so schedule in advance.
Get it ready
Put the furniture within three feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 24 hours early, and keep it clear of the street and sidewalk. Furniture is exempt from the item weight limit, but it still has to be handled safely by two people, and the whole single-family load is capped at seven cubic yards.
Place items within three feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day and never more than 24 hours in advance. Do not block the street or sidewalk. A single-family collection is limited to seven cubic yards and anything beyond that is charged, so keep the pile inside the limit and stack it so that removing one item cannot topple the rest.
Watch the weight limit on everything except furniture and appliances
Items must weigh less than 75 pounds and be manageable by two people, with furniture and appliances exempt. Loose material should be bagged, boxed or bundled, yard trimmings and unpainted wood go in bundles no longer than four feet with pieces under six inches across, and tires must have the rims separated. Canyonlands residents coordinate a collection location with Alameda County Industries instead of the standard curb.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Castro Valley.
How much does furniture removal cost in Castro Valley?+
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 Castro Valley?+
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.
