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.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Modesto single family residential solid waste customers, with two bulky item pickups per calendar year and two haul-it-yourself vouchers per calendar year.
When & how
Contact Gilton Solid Waste or Bertolotti Disposal to book the curbside appointment, and set the furniture out no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before. Nothing is collected in the alley.
Get it ready
Put the items in the street against the curb in front of your own home without blocking sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants, storm drains or garbage cans, and put small items in the garbage container instead of the pile.
Bulky items go in the street against the curb in front of the resident's own home, never in the alley. The pile must not block sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants, storm drains or garbage cans, small items belong in the garbage container rather than the pile, and nothing is set out before 6:00 PM the evening before the scheduled appointment.
A single family residential customer may have two bulky item pickups per calendar year, booked with Gilton Solid Waste or Bertolotti Disposal. The same customer may also use two haul-it-yourself vouchers a calendar year, each covering one truck or trailer load no larger than four feet by four feet by eight feet taken to the provider's transfer station, with the voucher held at the station and valid for seven days. Multi-family residents arrange both through the property manager.
The acceptable list covers air conditioners, doors and ladders, exercise equipment and bicycles, plastic or fake Christmas trees, large appliances with all doors removed, mattresses, couches and chairs, patio furniture and barbecues with the propane tank removed, tables and desks, toilets, sinks, tubs and hot tubs, and water heaters and water softeners. The unacceptable list covers concrete and asphalt, construction and demolition debris, wood and yard waste, dead animals, hazardous waste, chemicals and toxic materials, household garbage, business items, liquids, paints and solvents, plate glass, televisions and computer monitors, and tires and automobile parts.
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.

Use a haul-it-yourself voucher

Cost & conditions
No charge. Modesto single family residential solid waste customers, with two haul-it-yourself vouchers per calendar year.
Arrange it
Request the voucher from your solid waste company, collect it at the transfer station, and use it within seven days. Multi-family residents request the voucher through the property manager or owner.
One load per voucher, no larger than four feet by four feet by eight feet, two vouchers a calendar year, and the same acceptable and unacceptable item lists apply, so construction debris, liquids, paints, tires and televisions stay out.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Modesto.
How much does furniture removal cost in Modesto?+
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 Modesto?+
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.
Can a couch go out with the Modesto carts?+
It goes on a bulky item pickup instead. Couches, chairs, tables and desks are on the acceptable list, each single family household may book two pickups a calendar year, and the pile goes in the street against the curb in front of the home no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before the appointment. Small items belong in the garbage container.Official guidance
How often is each Modesto cart collected?+
The organics or green cart is serviced every week on the regular collection day, and the blue recycling cart is serviced every other week based on the address number: odd addresses started the week of July 31 to August 4 and even addresses the following week. Collection is provided by Bertolotti Disposal Services and Gilton Solid Waste, and questions go to the Solid Waste Division at 209-577-5494.Official guidance
