In with the new.

Your new furniture has a place to land. Choose a pickup day for the old piece once you’ve arranged to bring it outside.

On to your next place.

Take what you love. Leave less to deal with on moving day. Arrange a clear outdoor spot for the things that are going.

A corner that’s yours again.

That extra chair, unused dresser or pile of boxes doesn’t have to keep taking up space. One item or a few can go in the same pickup.
