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.

When & how
Arrange the collection by email or at 863-834-8773, then put the furniture at the curb for the scheduled day.
