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.
Count the furniture you want removed and empty drawers, shelves and cabinets. Add any other items to the booking instead of leaving an unlisted pile beside the furniture.

Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear route to the furniture. Add a location photo and access notes. Keep the pickup items separate from furniture and belongings that are staying.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Chairs, sofas, mattresses and rugs are all named in the furniture example on the district's accepted list, so furniture leaves through a large item pickup rather than with the weekly trash.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. CMSD solid waste customers, inside the three complimentary pickups a year and the ten item limit, with each piece inside the 8 by 4 foot and 150 pound caps.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with CR&R at (949) 646-4617 and name each piece, because the crew is told what to collect from the appointment.
Get it ready
Consider donating a usable piece first, since the district asks residents to think about thrift stores before disposal, and keep the refused material out of the same pile.
A large item pickup is made by a separate truck from the weekly trash collection, and CR&R collects only the items the resident listed when the appointment was booked. The resident calls (949) 646-4617 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or files an online request, names each item, and receives a date that may be a week or more out.
The size caps and the refused list decide what can go out
No item may exceed 8 by 4 feet or 150 pounds, which the district describes as the limit of what two people can lift, and asphalt, building materials, car bodies, chemicals and hazardous waste, concrete, sand or sandbags, soil and tires are all refused. Glass is accepted only when tape is applied in a star shape so it does not break, and yard debris has to be contained and limited to one cubic yard.
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 CMSD solid waste household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, scrap metal or up to ten large items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. CMSD solid waste customers, three complimentary pickups a year with ten items at each pickup, with every item inside the 8 by 4 foot and 150 pound limits. Dumpster-service households are not eligible.
Arrange it
Call CR&R at (949) 646-4617 Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or submit an online request, and list every item at that point.
The program refuses building materials, concrete, asphalt, soil, sand, tires, chemicals and anything over the size or weight cap, and it will not collect an item that was not listed when the pickup was booked.
The district's household programs are collection based rather than drop-off based. A CMSD solid waste customer books a large item pickup for a couch, a mattress, an appliance, scrap metal, glass, clothing or a small amount of contained yard debris, with three complimentary pickups a year and ten items at each one, none larger than 8 by 4 feet or heavier than 150 pounds, scheduled through CR&R at (949) 646-4617. Household hazardous waste, which for this program includes televisions, computers, printers, cell phones, stereos, scanners and other small appliances along with paints, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and sharps, is collected free at the front of the house up to three times a year with a maximum of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per pickup. Construction material, concrete, asphalt, soil, sand and tires have no district route at all: the large item program refuses them outright and the district tells a household in that position to call a contracted hauler. An address that is not a district solid waste customer, including a property served by dumpsters, cannot use either pickup program and is pointed to the four Orange County household hazardous waste collection facilities.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Costa Mesa.
How much does furniture removal cost in Costa Mesa?+
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 Costa Mesa?+
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 Costa Mesa pick up a couch?+
Yes. Chairs, sofas, mattresses and rugs are the furniture example on the district's accepted large item list, and the piece leaves on one of the three complimentary pickups a household gets each year, as long as it is within 8 by 4 feet and 150 pounds.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Costa Mesa?+
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District administers residential and multi-family collection for the city and CR&R is the hauler, which the city's own residential waste page confirms. The district handles both large item pickups and household hazardous waste, and CR&R customer service at (949) 646-4617 books them.Official guidance
How do I book a large item pickup in Costa Mesa?+
