Mattress Removal
View →$99first item · +$30 each more
Mattress removal in Washington, DC starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting on a phone estimate. Mattress removal is a constant need in Washington because apartment turnover is high in neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, Shaw, and Capitol Hill, where move-out dates are strict and hauling a mattress to Fort Totten during work hours is rarely realistic. DC does offer free DPW bulk collection, but there are tight rules: mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, only up to seven bulk items are collected per appointment, and set-out is limited to the 6:30 PM to 6:00 AM window tied to your 311/311.dc.gov booking. If you miss that window, you are rescheduling. Dropcurb gives Washington residents a faster mattress removal option when timing matters: set it curbside, skip in-home estimates, and get same-day pickup in most cases. Competitor pages in Washington often lead with quote forms or higher entry pricing—LoadUp advertises mattress removal starting at $89 in DC, and A Bedder World lists $125 for one mattress—while Dropcurb starts at $79 with clear online pricing.
Couch Removal
View →$99first item · +$28 each more
Couch removal in Washington starts at $79 with Dropcurb — book online in about 60 seconds, set your item curbside, and get same-day pickup without an in-home estimate. In Washington, couch turnover is constant in renter-heavy neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, Shaw, and Capitol Hill, especially around lease-end and move-in weekends when building rules tighten. DC adds another wrinkle: DPW bulk trash service is limited to eligible residential properties, while apartments with four or more units generally need a private licensed hauler, and residents still have strict set-out timing rules tied to scheduled collection. That means many people needing couch removal in Washington can’t rely on city pickup when timing is tight. Dropcurb solves that gap with curbside-only couch removal that avoids walk-throughs, appointment windows, and stair-carry add-ons common with full-service crews. Competitors like LoadUp often advertise Washington couch pickup from about $75, and newer providers like HaulKind list single-couch pricing from $99, but Dropcurb keeps couch removal simple: $79 starting price, upfront checkout, and no waiting around for a quote visit.
Furniture Removal
View →$79first item · +$29 each more
Furniture removal in Washington, DC starts at $79 with Dropcurb, with instant online booking and curbside pickup the same day in most ZIP codes. In Washington, many residents are in row houses, condos, and walk-up apartments where old desks, dressers, and couches need to be moved out quickly before move-in dates or turnover deadlines, but not everyone can wait for city scheduling windows. DC DPW bulk trash pickup is free for eligible households, yet residents still have to schedule through 311 and follow placement timing rules, and larger cleanouts often mean a self-haul trip to Fort Totten Transfer Station at 4900 John McCormack Rd NE. Dropcurb gives Washington customers a faster furniture removal option: set items at the curb, book in about 60 seconds, and avoid in-home estimate appointments. Pricing is straightforward at $79 for the first standard furniture removal item, then +$19 for small pieces and +$29 for standard add-ons. Competitor pages like LoadUp advertise Washington furniture removal starting at $60, but rates vary by item and volume and many providers still push phone quotes; Dropcurb keeps transparent per-item pricing for furniture removal in Washington, DC with a direct online booking path.

Construction Debris Removal
View →$109first item · +$59 each more
Construction debris in Washington, DC starts at $79 with Dropcurb — book online in about 60 seconds, set approved material curbside, and get same-day pickup in most neighborhoods. Construction debris pickup demand in Washington rises with row-house remodels, condo turnover projects, and contractor punch-list cleanups where people need debris gone quickly but do not need a full dumpster rental. DC DPW bulk trash guidance says renovation materials like bricks, concrete, ceiling tiles, and construction/demolition debris are excluded from standard bulk collection, so construction debris often requires a private hauling option even for small jobs. Dropcurb fills that municipal gap with curbside construction debris pickup that avoids in-home estimate visits and lets you lock in pricing before checkout. In Washington, competitor pages often push quote workflows or broad ranges instead of a direct booking path: LoadUp advertises construction debris removal in DC starting at $89, while marketplace pricing references like Thumbtack place typical junk/debris hauling around $75-$375 depending on load size. Dropcurb starts at $79 for construction debris in Washington, DC with clear online booking and no appointment-window guesswork.
