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.

You handle indoor carrying and any disassembly needed to get the furniture through your home. Plan for doorways, interior stairs and building access before pickup day.

Show exactly what goes.
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.
Furniture is named in the city's bulky item examples along with rugs and carpets, sinks and toilets, and shipping crates and containers, so a couch leaves on an on-call bulky pickup rather than in the carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the up to three no-charge bulky waste pickups a year for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. A pickup beyond the allowance carries a fee.
When & how
Book the pickup with Republic Services at 510.262.7100 at least 10 workdays ahead so the items are collected on the next scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep each piece at 200 pounds or less, and route a mattress or box spring to the free drop-off instead if that is easier, since the city publishes a separate no-cost mattress route.
Pick one of the five published options for the pickup
Each on-call bulky pickup uses one of five options: up to fifteen 35 gallon bags with a 50 pound per bag maximum, four 95 gallon bags with the same maximum, five e-waste items, up to 1.8 cubic yards of uncontainerized garbage or organic waste, or, a maximum of once a year, a large item pickup of up to three large items. The hauler's flyer caps each item at 200 pounds, requires small e-waste peripherals to be boxed, and warns that anything beyond three bulky items carries an extra charge.
The hauler publishes the material it never takes: liquids of any kind, cactus, ivy, palm and yucca, fluorescent bulbs, lamps and tubes, paint cans, tied boards, motor oil, fencing, solvents, pesticide containers, mirrors, metal parts, mercury containing thermostats and timers, broken or window glass, car parts, empty gas tanks, cement, rocks and dirt, household, car, rechargeable and button batteries, tree stumps, asbestos, medical sharps and hypodermic needles, and boxed or bundled debris.
Dumpster days run on a postcard and a fixed window
Every Richmond neighborhood receives a free dumpster day, running from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm or until the dumpsters fill, at one to four locations, with postcards mailed two to four weeks ahead and events in spring, summer and fall. Businesses are not eligible. Curbside pickup is only for seniors and residents with disabilities, requested from the Abatement Division before 12:00 pm on the Wednesday before the event for pickup on the Friday before, limited to one pickup truck load per household with identification checked.
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.

Book a pickup beyond the free allowance
A household that has already used its no-charge pickups for the year and still has material to clear.
Cost & conditions
Both the city page and the hauler flyer state that a pickup beyond the allowance and any additional item carry a fee, but neither publishes an amount, so confirm the price at 510.262.7100 when booking.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services at 510.262.7100 to schedule the extra pickup and confirm the charge at that point.
The same item limits apply, including the 200 pound cap on each item, the refusal of construction and demolition waste and hazardous waste, and the never-taken list.

Use the Neighborhood Dumpster Day
A household with mattresses, box springs, small appliances, glass, broken toys, household items, tables, clothing or bagged yard waste to dispose of close to home.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents of the neighborhood hosting the event, with postcards mailed two to four weeks ahead. Businesses are not eligible, and curbside pickup is limited to seniors and residents with disabilities.
Arrange it
Watch for the postcard and take the material to one of the one to four locations in the neighborhood between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm, or request the Friday curbside pickup through the Abatement Division before noon on the Wednesday before if the household qualifies.
Batteries, e-waste, refrigerators, oven cleaner, bug spray, fluorescent lights, paint, tires, concrete, oil, propane tanks and treated wood are prohibited at the dumpster days and go to the West County hazardous waste facility instead, and curbside pickup is capped at one pickup truck load per household.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Richmond.
How much does furniture removal cost in Richmond?+
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 Richmond?+
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 Richmond pick up a couch?+
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's bulky item examples, so a couch rides one of the up-to-three no-charge bulky pickups a single-family home, duplex, triplex or fourplex can schedule each calendar year. The pickup is booked with Republic Services at 510.262.7100 at least 10 workdays ahead.Official guidance

The City of Richmond Public Works side runs the Neighborhood Dumpster Days and publishes the household hazardous waste and mattress drop-off routes.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky pickup in Richmond?+
Call Republic Services at 510.262.7100 in advance, at least 10 workdays before the regular collection day, and the items go out for that day.
