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.

Madera runs one citywide curbside cleanup a year for excess trash, rubbish and bulky items that normal weekly service will not take, and single-family homes inside the city limits are the households that qualify.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The cleanup is an event rather than a per item charge, and it is open to single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. Unincorporated Madera County addresses, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses are excluded by name.
When & how
The cleanup takes place annually in the spring and moves through two zones on published dates. The 2026 window ran from February 16 to 27 in Zone 1 and March 2 to 13 in Zone 2, the city says the detail arrives in the utility bill, and zone maps are posted at least one week before service starts in an area. Debris may go out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, about one truckload, and set it at least six inches away from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear. Sort debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash into separate groups, and bag or box all loose debris. Anything on the ineligible list is left behind and has to be removed within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date.
Furniture is part of the annual curbside cleanup and it is also named in the hauler's bulky item service list, so a couch or sofa leaves on the cleanup pile or on an ordered pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out with the annual curbside cleanup at no extra charge for a single-family home inside the city limits. Outside that window, Mid Valley Disposal collects it as a temporary bulky item service and prices the pickup when a representative contacts the customer.
When & how
Put furniture out with the cleanup pile up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, or order a bulky item pickup through Mid Valley Disposal at 559-237-9425 and wait for the job order to be confirmed before setting anything out.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the cleanup pile limit and off the sidewalk, and keep furniture out of the three carts, because the hauler asks that bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste and automotive parts never go into a container.
The annual curbside cleanup takes one pile per single-family home inside the city limits, no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet and roughly one truckload. Put it out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, at least six inches back from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear, and bag or box anything loose.
The city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash rather than mixing them into one heap. Sorting is what lets the crew and the recycling routes handle each group, and it is also why a mattress and an appliance should not end up buried under loose rubbish.
Tires, batteries and items containing batteries, paint and liquids, propane tanks, needles, dirt and rock, 50-gallon drums, items over four feet long and items over 150 pounds are all refused in the cleanup. Anything refused is left at the curb and has to be removed by the resident within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date, so keep those out of the pile in the first place.
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 Madera.
How much does furniture removal cost in Madera?+
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 Madera?+
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 is the Madera curbside cleanup?+
It is an annual spring event that moves through two zones. The 2026 window ran from February 16 to 27 in Zone 1 and March 2 to 13 in Zone 2. The city says a flyer with the scheduled day for each area arrives in the utility bill, and zone maps go up at least one week before service starts in an area.Official guidance
Who can use the citywide curbside cleanup?+
Single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. The city excludes unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses, so an apartment resident has to ask the property manager or order a pickup from the hauler instead.Official guidance
How big can the cleanup pile be?+
No larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, roughly one truckload, and it goes at least six inches away from the curb so it does not block sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes or fire hydrants. Loose debris has to be bagged or boxed, and the city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash.Official guidance
What will the cleanup leave behind?+
Lawnmowers and two-stroke motors, auto parts, construction and demolition material, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, flammable or hazardous material, pool chemicals, pesticides, propane tanks and compressed cylinders, needles and medical waste, paint and paint products, liquids, all batteries and anything containing a battery, dirt, rock, sod and asphalt, 50-gallon drums, tires, and anything over four feet long or 150 pounds. The city leaves ineligible items at the curb and the resident has to remove them within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date.Official guidance
Will a couch be taken in the Madera cleanup?+
Yes. The cleanup is for excess trash, rubbish and bulky items that weekly service will not take, and it covers single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. Set the couch out with the rest of the pile, keep the pile within 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, and separate it from the appliances, mattresses and electronics.Official guidance
Can I order a furniture pickup outside the cleanup window?+
Yes. Mid Valley Disposal offers bulky item collection as a temporary service for appliances, couches, mattresses, electronic waste, tires and bagged trash. Submit the bulky pick-up request and a representative contacts you during business hours Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and submits a job order, so the amount is quoted at that point.Official guidance
