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.

Furniture has two routes in Walnut Creek depending on its condition. Gently used working furniture can go out on the twice-yearly Reuse Day for donation, while non-working furniture goes out on Cleanup Day when it is small or on an on-call pickup for an added fee when it is large.
City cost & eligibility
Reuse Day and Cleanup Day are published as available at no additional cost for single family homes, while a large item of furniture is collected on-call for an added fee that the guide does not price. Confirm the route and any charge with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711 before the piece goes out.
When & how
Use the Reuse Day and Cleanup Day dates mailed to the address about two weeks in advance, or call (925) 685-4711 to arrange an on-call collection on a regular service day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the Cleanup Day limits of two cubic yards or fourteen 32-gallon bags, no longer than four feet, no wider than 24 inches and no heavier than 50 pounds, and do not put out unassembled, broken, stained or ripped furniture on Reuse Day, because those pieces are refused there.
Reuse and Cleanup Days are mailed to each address about two weeks ahead and they run twice a year. On Reuse Day, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects gently used household items and donates them, which is the route for working furniture, appliances and electronics. Cleanup Day follows the next day and Republic Services takes what does not meet the Reuse Day rules to landfill, with a volume cap of two cubic yards or fourteen 32-gallon bags, no item longer than four feet or wider than 24 inches, and nothing heavier than 50 pounds, with charges possible above those limits.
A household that cannot wait for the next scheduled week has three published on-call options. One landfill clean-up a year covers up to fourteen 32-gallon bags of trash or the equivalent, and recycling or organics clean-ups are available up to four times a year when there is more material than the carts hold. Separately, items such as mattresses, non-working televisions, non-working refrigerators and large furniture are collected on-call for an added fee. All of it is booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711, and no single bag or item may weigh more than 50 pounds or run longer than four feet.
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 Walnut Creek.
How much does furniture removal cost in Walnut Creek?+
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 Walnut Creek?+
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 does Walnut Creek collect a couch or other furniture?+
It depends on the condition. Gently used working furniture goes out on Reuse Day, one of the pre-scheduled days that come twice a year at no additional cost and that are mailed to the address about two weeks ahead. Non-working furniture can go out on Cleanup Day, which follows Reuse Day, when it is small enough for the two cubic yard or fourteen bag limit, and a large piece needs an on-call pickup for an added fee booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711.Official guidance
Who runs trash and bulky collection in Walnut Creek?+
RecycleSmart, the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority, manages solid waste for Walnut Creek and holds the franchise with Republic Services for collection and with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery for processing and Reuse Day. Republic Services answers service, billing and on-call requests at (925) 685-4711, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery handles Reuse Day questions at 925-692-2286, and RecycleSmart is at (925) 906-1801.Official guidance
What are the size limits on a Walnut Creek clean-up day?+
Cleanup Day takes a maximum of two cubic yards, or fourteen 32-gallon bags, with no item longer than four feet or larger than 24 inches in diameter, and nothing weighing more than 50 pounds. Anything over those limits may be charged. Reuse Day the day before takes gently used working items for donation and refuses unassembled, broken, stained or ripped furniture and cribs.Official guidance
When are Walnut Creek's Reuse and Cleanup Days?+
Twice a year, in spring and fall, on pre-scheduled dates that are mailed to each address about two weeks in advance, with Walnut Creek appearing in the February and September lists for a portion of the city. RecycleSmart publishes a lookup tool for the exact days, and Reuse Day is followed the next day by Cleanup Day.Official guidance
