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.

Anything that will not fit in the garbage cart is collected by appointment, with appliances at no additional fee and furniture or larger items quoted at a charge.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that appliances are collected at no additional fee while furniture and larger items are collected for a fee, and it asks residents to call 941-486-2422 for a quote before booking. Charges are applied to the water and sewer bill, and a resident without a city account has to prepay.
When & how
Call the Public Works Department at 941-486-2422 to book the bulk appointment and get the quote, then have the material curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, within three feet of the curb and three feet from any other object.
Get it ready
Keep the pile away from trees, power lines, mailboxes and sprinkler heads, place it at the curb rather than on the property because city employees do not enter the property to collect bulk items, and empty refrigerators or freezers of food and remove the doors before collection.
Anything that does not fit in the garbage cart is scheduled through Public Works at 941-486-2422. Appliances are collected at no additional fee, furniture and larger items are quoted first, the quote lands on the water and sewer bill, and a household without a city account has to prepay.
Curb by 7 a.m., three feet clear, nothing under the trees
Carts and bulk piles go curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, within three feet of the curb and three feet from any other object, with the cart arrows pointing at the road. Keep piles and carts away from trees, power lines, mailboxes and sprinkler heads, and remember city crews do not enter private property for a bulk 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.
