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 Torrance address with City trash collection gets one free large item pickup a calendar year of up to twenty items, including furniture and mattresses, booked in advance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free large item collection a calendar year per address for residents with City trash collection, up to twenty items per pickup. An additional collection is priced from the published rate table by item count.
When & how
Call the City sanitation customer service line at 855-354-5623, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The pickup happens on your scheduled refuse collection day, and it is not available while the Christmas tree recycling programme is running, so book at least three weeks before that programme starts.
Get it ready
The pickup is booked, not set out on demand: materials cannot be placed out earlier than 12 hours before the scheduled pickup, items go where recycling is collected and at least five feet from the trash and recycling containers, and anything left on private property is not collected. Small items have to be tied together or bagged, and a cancellation has to be made at least one day ahead.

The City publishes the same two additional collection prices for each year of its five year schedule.
Arrange it
Book the additional collection on the same sanitation line at 855-354-5623 and tell the office the item count so the right rate applies.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Torrance.
How much does furniture removal cost in Torrance?+
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 Torrance?+
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 item pickups does an address get?+
One free pickup a calendar year per address, on call rather than on a fixed week, with up to twenty items collected. The City also sells additional collections, priced from its rate table by how many items are collected.Official guidance
How do I book the large item pickup?+
Call 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The pickup is scheduled on your regular refuse collection day, at least twenty items is the cap, small items must be tied or bagged, and the load goes where recycling is picked up and at least five feet from the carts.Official guidance
What will not be taken on the large item pickup?+
Construction debris such as wood, concrete, bricks, drywall, wall-to-wall carpeting, dirt, tree trunks and plumbing fixtures such as water heaters; auto parts such as batteries, doors, fenders, motors, gas tanks and tires; household hazardous waste such as paint, medicine, sharps, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, mercury equipment and electronic waste; and anything two people cannot safely handle, such as a spa, hot tub, piano or organ.Official guidance
Will Torrance take a mattress?+
Yes, and it is one of the items the City recycles rather than landfilling. Mattresses are accepted on the large item pickup and recycled through the Mattress Recycling Council, and the City also points out that California law requires a mattress retailer to take back the old mattress when a new one is delivered.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Torrance?+
The City's own Public Works Sanitation Division, which runs weekly trash, recycling and organics collection for about 29,500 single family homes, duplexes and select three and four unit properties. Customer service is 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and commercial and multi-family property service runs through private haulers instead.Official guidance
What does weekly collection cost a household?+
The monthly rate depends only on the size of the trash container, and the City publishes a five year schedule of increases through July 1, 2027. Recycling and organics containers carry no monthly charge, up to two extra recycling or organics carts are free apart from the delivery fee, and an additional refuse container carries its own published monthly rate.Official guidance
Is there a discount for a senior or disabled resident?+
Yes. The low income senior and disabled rate requires a 64-gallon refuse cart, a resident who is 62 or older or permanently disabled, and a household income inside the programme limits. Applications go through the Finance Department utility billing line at 310-618-5830.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to a transfer station?+
The City publishes a reference list of local transfer stations open to the public, in Gardena, Long Beach, Compton, Wilmington, Downey, Signal Hill and Carson. The City marks the list as reference only and subject to change, asks residents to call ahead about prices, hours and accepted materials, and notes that Torrance residents can receive discounted City rates with proof of residency.Official guidance
