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.

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.

Furniture is named on the acceptable list for the bulky item collection, and furniture and appliances are the two categories exempt from the 150 pound single item limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the two annual bulky item collections at no additional cost for single-family households, inside the four cubic yard limit.
When & how
Book the collection with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, then set the furniture out the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the carts and inside the four cubic yard pile. Furniture may exceed 150 pounds because it is exempt from the single item weight cap, but it still counts toward the volume limit, and nothing painted or made of construction material belongs in the pile.
A single-family household books one of its two free bulky item collections with Republic Services on 510.657.3500, and the collection is set within 21 days with a confirmation postcard mailed out. Items go to the curb the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day, because a pile set out early can collect extra or prohibited material and may then be refused. If the truck passes without collecting it, the household calls again to reschedule and moves the material out of public view in the meantime.
Four cubic yards, one major appliance, and the refused list
Each collection is capped at four cubic yards, described as six feet wide by six feet long by three feet high, and one major household appliance goes out per collection with doors or lids secured or removed. Loose items must be bagged or boxed, branches and prunings must be tied in bundles no longer than five feet or six inches across, and up to four passenger car tires are allowed. Items over 150 pounds are refused except furniture and appliances, and paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, car batteries, medical waste, painted wood, construction and demolition debris, rocks, bricks, dirt and concrete are all prohibited.
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.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Union City.
How much does furniture removal cost in Union City?+
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 Union City?+
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.

Call Republic Services on 510.657.3500 to schedule, then put the couch out the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, because a pile set out early may not be collected.Official guidance
