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.

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.

Couches, sleeper couches, chairs, desks, tables and shelves are named bulky items, and the yearly donation pickup also takes furniture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three free bulky item pickups a calendar year, each covering up to ten large items, for a residential customer whose items a two-person crew can handle. The yearly reusable donation pickup is also free and takes furniture such as sofas, tables, chairs and dressers.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with CR&R for your regular collection day, or book the year's donation pickup when the piece is still good enough to resell.
Get it ready
Keep the pieces inside the ten item limit and manageable for a two-person crew, and keep glassware, mattresses, automotive parts and hazardous waste out of a donation pile because those are refused.
Keep each bulky pickup to ten large items a two-person crew can handle
A bulky pickup may include up to ten large items, and every item has to be something a two-person crew can handle and transport. Items that cannot fit in the carts are the ones that qualify, and residents of an HOA or a community with shared trash enclosures book through the HOA or property manager instead.
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 Lake Forest.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lake Forest?+
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 Lake Forest?+
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.
How many furniture pieces can a Lake Forest household put out?+
Up to ten large items in each of the three free bulky pickups a calendar year, provided a two-person crew can handle them. Couches, sleeper couches, chairs, desks, tables and shelves are named bulky items, and one free reusable donation pickup a year also takes furniture that Goodwill can resell.Official guidance
