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.

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.

Boulder has no citywide bulky item pickup. An oversized household item goes to the hard-to-recycle site, to a reuse donation, or onto a large item collection arranged with the hauler on the account for a fee the hauler sets.
City cost & eligibility
There is no municipal bulky program and no published municipal rate. The Eco-Cycle hard-to-recycle site publishes per item charges for the materials it takes, and a hauler's own large item collection is priced by that hauler, so ask the hauler and the facility before anything is set out.
When & how
Ask the hauler how it handles a large item and when it would collect, or plan a trip to the hard-to-recycle site or the reuse center during their open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the item on the property until a collection is arranged, and check the material rules first: the hard-to-recycle site refuses pressurized vessels such as propane and helium tanks, requires gas powered equipment to be drained of oil and gas, and refuses bedding that is moldy or has bed bugs. Usable furniture and appliances are better donated for reuse than sent for recycling.
Usable furniture is a donation item at Resource Central next to the hard-to-recycle site, and nothing collects furniture at the curb in Boulder without an arrangement with the hauler on the account.
City cost & eligibility
Resource Central accepts furniture donations for resale and can also haul material, with the pickup quoted by the organization, and a hauler's own large item collection is priced by that hauler. There is no municipal rate, so ask both before booking.
When & how
Drop furniture at 6400 Arapahoe Rd. Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or ask Resource Central whether it will collect from the property.
Get it ready
Donate only items in good condition, because the reuse facility takes new and used household materials that are fit for resale. A worn out piece that no reuse center will take is the case to price with the hauler as a large item.
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.
A household with furniture, a working appliance, cabinets, doors, fixtures, flooring, windows, tile, roofing tile or salvageable building material in good condition.
Cost & conditions
No charge. There is no charge to donate material that is in good condition for resale. The reuse center can also collect material from a property, and the county directory notes that a pickup may be free or may carry a charge, so ask when the pickup is arranged.
Arrange it
Drop the items at 6400 Arapahoe Rd. Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and ask about a property pickup at 303-419-5418.
The reuse center takes new and used building and household materials that are in good condition, so a worn out piece will not be accepted and has to be priced with a hauler as a large item instead. Large appliances are accepted for reuse only when they still work.
Licensed private haulers, with Eco-Cycle and Boulder County running the hard-to-recycle and hazardous waste drop-off sites
Ask the hauler on the account for a large item collection
A household with an oversized item that no drop off route will take, such as a worn out couch, an exercise machine or another bulky piece.
Cost & conditions
The city states that it does not determine or control hauler rates, so the large item charge comes from the hauler on the account. Ask for the price and the item rules before booking a collection.
Arrange it
Call the hauler on the account and ask how it handles a large item, then set the piece out only for the date the hauler gives you.
Not every hauler offers the same large item service, and the city does not run a municipal pickup of its own. Anything usable should go to the reuse center first, and a mattress, appliance or electronic device has a cheaper documented drop off route at the hard-to-recycle site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Boulder.
How much does furniture removal cost in Boulder?+
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 Boulder?+
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.
Does Boulder have a curbside bulky item pickup?+
The city does not run one and does not provide municipal hauling, so a large item is handled either by the hauler on the account, which may offer its own large item collection for a fee, or by a trip to the hard-to-recycle site or a reuse donation instead.Official guidance
Can I donate a couch in Boulder instead of throwing it away?+
Yes if it is in good condition. Resource Central at 6400 Arapahoe Road accepts new and used household and building materials for resale, including furniture, and it can also collect material from a property. The county construction directory lists that same facility for furniture and large appliances.Official guidance
Does the City of Boulder pick up trash?+
No. The city does not provide municipal waste hauling and does not set or control hauler rates, so a household or property owner subscribes to a licensed private hauler for trash, recycling and compost. The city's own role is the ordinance, the signs and the drop off programs, and its Zero Waste team can be reached at ZeroWaste@bouldercolorado.gov or 303-441-1931.Official guidance
Where do paint, solvents and batteries go in Boulder?+
To the Boulder County Hazardous Materials Management Facility at 1901 63rd St., open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and with Tuesday reserved for business waste by appointment. Residents of the counties it serves may drop material without an appointment, and usable products are offered back to the public during open hours; the county page publishes no household price, so confirm the charge with the facility on 720-564-2251 before a trip.Official guidance
What does the hard-to-recycle site take?+
The Eco-Cycle site at 6400 Arapahoe Road takes scrap metal that is at least half metal and free of refrigerant, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers, mattresses, box springs and toppers, electronics from computers and phones to televisions and printers, concrete, ceramics, toilets, sinks and urinals, bikes and bicycle tires, film plastics, books, clothing, glassware, solar panels, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Automotive tires, pressurized tanks and moldy bedding are refused.Official guidance
Where does yard waste and untreated wood go?+
To the Boulder County and City of Boulder yard waste and wood waste drop off center at Western Disposal, 2051 63rd St., open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sunday. Residents receive a 40 percent discount from normal yard and wood waste pricing, and yard waste has to be kept separate from wood waste to get the discounted rate.Official guidance
What does my apartment building have to provide?+
The Universal Zero Waste Ordinance requires property owners to provide adequate compost, recycling and trash collection to tenants, and the city offers multi-family complexes free signs, installation and education programs. A resident whose building is missing service, bins or signs can report it to the city through the Inquire Boulder form.Official guidance
