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 single family household or a multi family dwelling with individual carts may request up to two free large item collections for a total of six items picked up per calendar year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two collections a calendar year with up to six large items in total are free for a single family dwelling and for a multi family dwelling with individual cart service. A refrigerator or freezer may incur a freon service fee, which the city does not publish, so ask Athens for the amount when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Submit the online request or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to put bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste or automotive parts in the carts, because doing so can interrupt service.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until a collection is scheduled, then set them out as the hauler directs. Reuse and donation come first for anything usable, and an item that needs a forklift or crane is outside the definition the city and hauler publish. Unincorporated addresses are told to contact the County of Ventura instead.
Furniture is named both in the city's large item definition and on the hauler's bulky item list, so a couch comes off the property on a scheduled free collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out inside the two free collections and six item yearly allowance for a single family dwelling or a multi family dwelling with individual carts.
When & how
Request the collection from Athens at 805-852-5264 or online, then set the furniture out as directed for the collection date.
Get it ready
Do not set furniture out on the curb without a scheduled pickup, and keep it out of the carts, because a bulky item in a cart can interrupt service. Athens asks residents to reuse or donate usable pieces first, and a small appliance or a device can be dropped at a Goodwill donation center in town, which takes small appliances and nearly all electronic waste whether it works or not.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and other large items are collected by request on one of the two free collections a calendar year, and the city asks residents not to put bulky items, electronics, construction debris or automotive parts in the carts. Request the collection from Athens first, then set the items 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 Thousand Oaks.
How much does furniture removal cost in Thousand Oaks?+
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 Thousand Oaks?+
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 many large items can a household put out each year?+
Two free collections a calendar year covering six large items in total. The allowance is written for single family dwellings and for multi family dwellings with individual cart service, and the city does not take more than those six items without another arrangement.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?+
Submit the online request form or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to set bulky items in the trash cart or at the curb without a request, and it asks unincorporated addresses to contact the County of Ventura rather than the city program.Official guidance
What cannot go on a bulky item pickup?+
Automobile parts; construction debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock; hazardous waste such as antifreeze, automotive fluids, cleaning products, compressed gas cylinders, pesticides, paint, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals and solvents; and loose or scattered building materials and lumber. Each of those has a separate route in Thousand Oaks.Official guidance
Will Thousand Oaks pick up a couch?+
Yes, on one of the two free large item collections a year. Furniture is named in the city's bulky item definition and on the hauler's list, so a couch, sofa or chair is collected by request rather than on the weekly route.Official guidance
Who handles trash and recycling collection in Thousand Oaks?+
Athens Services collects residential and commercial trash, recycling and organics under a franchise agreement with the city, and the rates are set by City Council. Athens customer care is at 805-852-5264, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, and the city Sustainability Division is at 805-449-7283 or gogreen@toaks.org.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
Yes. Holidays create a one day delay in collection. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service.Official guidance
What happens at the household hazardous waste facility?+
The city facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive in Newbury Park takes paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, used oil, antifreeze, propane cylinders, fluorescent bulbs and electronics from residents of Thousand Oaks and unincorporated Ventura County on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. An appointment is required, online registration closes at 5 p.m. the day before, a load is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds, and Clean Harbors schedules appointments at 800-356-8570.Official guidance
What is free landfill day and who can use it?+
The city opens the Calabasas Landfill at 5300 Lost Hills Road in Agoura Hills from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on published dates, which are March 28, June 20 and September 26 in 2026, for Thousand Oaks residents who are current Athens customers. A resident with identification may bring up to two loads of trash, green waste, concrete, dirt, asphalt, bulky items or construction material in a car or pickup, and up to five loose passenger tires, with no late entry and no commercial or landscaping loads.Official guidance
Do apartments and complexes with shared bins get the same service?+
Multi family dwellings with individual carts are covered by the single family rate sheet and by the same two collections and six item large item allowance, but a complex with centralized bin service is billed under a separate multi family and mixed use rate schedule. Call Athens at 805-852-5264 to confirm what a shared bin property receives before setting anything out.Official guidance
