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.
Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from an accessible outdoor spot. A little preparation makes it clear which pieces are going and how to reach them.
Book before moving items outside, then follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Contact us before booking if your building only allows a short pickup window; the booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.

Athens removes bulky items including furniture and major appliances on request, and the City's on call program gives each residence four free pickups a year of up to three items.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential and multi-family premises in Whittier, four free pickups per year with up to three items per pickup under the City's on call bulky waste and e-waste program.
When & how
Call Athens Services at (888) 336-6100 to schedule, or submit a bulky item request online. Athens encourages donating or reusing furniture before requesting a pickup.
Get it ready
Do not set furniture out before the pickup is scheduled, because the automated collection truck cannot take it and Athens asks residents not to put bulky items in a container.
Carts out by 6 a.m., never before 6 p.m. the day before
All containers go out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day and no sooner than 6:00 p.m. the day before, because the City's designated collection day is the 24-hour period from 6:00 p.m. the day before to 6:00 p.m. the day of collection under WMC 8.12.140. Containers are placed in the street with lids closed or in the alley, wheels against the curb, about a foot apart and at least three feet from parked vehicles.
Empty carts come off the street and out of public view
Remove every refuse and recycling container from the curb or alley once it is emptied. Except for the large 300-gallon alley containers, containers have to leave the public right-of-way and be stored on private property where they are not visible from the front or sides of the property.
A weekday holiday shifts collection one day for the rest of the week
Trash, recycling and green waste are collected as regularly scheduled except on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Whenever one of those holidays falls on a weekday, the schedule is delayed one day for the remainder of that week.
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.

How much does furniture removal cost in Whittier?+
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.

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.
