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.

Large household items are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup instead of the curb, and the city's page describes four bulky items across two pickups a year at no charge while the hauler's page describes four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The City of Ventura states that residential customers may arrange four bulky items during two pickups a year without charge. E.J. Harrison's own page words the same benefit as four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period at no charge, so confirm the allowance that applies to the address when booking at 805-647-1414 or through the hauler's request form.
When & how
Call 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the hauler's online request form. Nothing is collected at the curb on the regular trash day, and the city asks residents not to set a mattress, an appliance or furniture out with the trash carts while a pickup is pending.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you an appointment date, then set them out as directed for that date. Ask the hauler how early to set the pile out, because no citywide bulky set out clock is published. Disposing of it is the whole point of the appointment, so do not include anything you want returned.
Furniture is a named bulky item, so a couch or a table leaves the property on a scheduled bulky item pickup, and the city points usable pieces at local second hand stores first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out on the city's bulky item allowance at no charge, and the count is confirmed with the hauler at booking because the city's page and the hauler's page describe the annual allowance differently.
When & how
Book the pickup at 805-647-1414 or online, then set the piece out as the hauler directs for the appointment date.
Get it ready
Never set a couch or a table at the curb with the trash carts. The city lists Goodwill, the Coalition Thrift Store, the ARC Foundation and Thrift Store, the Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store and the SPARC Second Chance Store as local donation options for gently used furniture, so offer a usable piece there before booking a pickup.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup, and the city asks residents not to set any of it out on the curb with the trash bins. Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you a pickup date, then set them out as directed.
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 San Buenaventura.
How much does furniture removal cost in San Buenaventura?+
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 San Buenaventura?+
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 do I schedule a bulky item pickup in Ventura?+
Call E.J. Harrison and Sons at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the request form on the hauler's website. Bulky items are not collected on the regular trash route, so the pickup has to be arranged first, and the city asks residents to confirm the allowance that applies when they book.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item in Ventura?+
The city defines bulky items as discarded large household appliances, furniture, tires, carpets, mattresses and similar large items that need special handling because of their size. The hauler's page lists broken or old furniture, water heaters, mattresses, old bathroom and kitchen fixtures and household appliances among the common bulky items it collects.Official guidance
Can furniture go out with the trash carts?+
No. The city states that old furniture and appliances cannot be set out on the curb with the trash bins, and that a bulky item pickup has to be scheduled instead. Setting the piece out early also risks a report to the city's Safe and Clean Hotline at 805-677-3900.Official guidance
Will Ventura take a couch or sofa?+
Yes, on a scheduled bulky item pickup. Furniture is named in the city's definition of a bulky item, so a couch, sofa or table is collected from the address on an appointment rather than on the regular trash day.Official guidance
Can I donate furniture instead of throwing it away?+
Yes. The city lists Goodwill, the Coalition Thrift Store, the ARC Foundation and Thrift Store, the Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store and the SPARC Second Chance Store as places that take gently used furniture, and it frames donation as the first option before a bulky item pickup.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Ventura?+
E.J. Harrison and Sons is the city's exclusive franchise hauler and handles the weekly curbside collection of trash, recycling and yard waste, with residential pricing, billing and cart changes at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH. The city's Environmental Sustainability division runs the bulky item and household hazardous waste programs and can be reached at 805-652-4525.Official guidance
Do apartments and shared buildings get the same service?+
The city's bulky item program is written for residential customers and the hauler's page addresses residential customers without saying how a multi family property is treated. If you live in an apartment or a shared building, call 805-647-1414 to confirm what the property is eligible for before setting anything out.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
It can. Pickup may be delayed by one day in a holiday week, and the hauler publishes a holiday schedule lookup on its Ventura page. Carts still go out by 7 a.m. on whichever day the route runs.Official guidance
What happens at the monthly household hazardous waste event?+
The events run on the third Saturday of each month except December, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Gold Coast Recycling on Colt Street. An appointment is required through 805-652-4525, the events are for City of Ventura residents only, and each visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of material. Fireworks, smoke detectors, radioactive and medical waste, explosive material, compressed gas cylinders, tires and trash are refused.Official guidance
