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.

Bulky items are collected every other week on the Red or Blue week that applies to the address, as long as the item fits the six by four by four foot limit.
City cost & eligibility
$26.7 for the published monthly charge for a regular home on the residential rate table, which covers the every other week bulky item pickup, with apartment service at the same monthly charge including bulky items. City of Tallahassee residential waste management customers inside the city limits. An item larger than the limit or a pile that cannot sit at the curb is not part of the monthly service and becomes either a Cash for Trash drop off or a special pickup billed by the quarter hour plus disposal costs.
When & how

Garbage and recycling containers go to the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled pickup and are returned to the storage area near the home no later than the day following service. Bulky items and yard waste use a longer window, and they go out no sooner than the weekend before the pickup date. A pickup day that falls on or after a City holiday may move one day later.
Bulky items and yard waste are collected every other week, and each address sits on either a Red week or a Blue week with its own pickup day inside that week, such as a Red Monday. The City publishes the red and blue week calendar online, prints a customer service guide that arrives by the start of each year, and offers an address lookup for the specific day.
A bulky item can be no larger than six feet long by four feet wide by four feet high and has to be something that will not fit in the garbage barrel. The City names appliances, small furniture, mattresses, lamps, bikes, chairs, tables, disassembled swing sets, plastic pools and barbecue grills. Anything bigger, or a pile that cannot sit at the curb, goes to a Cash for Trash event or to a special pickup billed by the quarter hour with disposal costs added.

A city household with hazardous waste, or with a bulky item that cannot be left at the curb.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Tallahassee residential solid waste customers, who present a City utility bill before unloading material and receive a $5 credit, limited to one credit per utility bill. Household garbage, yard waste and construction or demolition debris are not accepted at the events.
Arrange it
Drive to the City Community Beautification and Waste Management facility at 2727 Major James Morgan Jr. Way on the third Saturday of April or October between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., bring a City utility bill, and unload the material.
Only hazardous waste and bulky items belong at the event, and the City refuses household garbage, yard waste and construction or demolition debris there. A customer with those materials requests a special residential pickup instead.
A city household with an item larger than the bulky limit, a tree that will not fit the yard waste guidelines, or construction and demolition debris.
Cost & conditions
From $106.94 for the published special residential pickup rate, charged per quarter hour with a minimum of the same amount and with disposal costs added. City of Tallahassee residential waste management customers requesting a pickup of bulky items, yard waste or construction and demolition debris. The rate is timed, travel time is not included, and the per ton disposal fees on the same sheet are $63.05 for garbage, $50.18 for clean yard waste, $63.05 for mixed bulk waste and $160 for tires.
Arrange it
Submit the special pickup request, allow three to five business days from the request date, and have the material staged where the crew can reach it when the visit is scheduled.
The charge is timed, so a large or slow load costs more than the minimum, and the disposal fee category depends on what the load contains. Commercial customers always need a special pickup rather than the residential bulky round.
