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.

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.

Furniture does not fit Albany's cart rules and the city publishes no bulky pickup, so a couch goes to the Dougherty County landfill, which accepts most non-hazardous material, or into a rented city roll-off container.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no residential gate rate for the landfill and the city roll-off schedule prices the container rather than the couch, so confirm the cost of the load at the scale house, 229-302-3226, or the container price at (229) 302-1800 before the piece is moved.
When & how
Take the piece to the Dougherty County landfill during gate hours, or arrange a roll-off container with the city at (229) 302-1800.
Get it ready
Cover the load, because the county requires fully covered or secured loads, and keep the piece out of the city cart, since the city collects only what fits inside the cart. Household recyclables such as cardboard and metals can be separated out for the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful drop-offs instead.
Albany collects only what is inside the city-issued cart, so boxes are broken down and everything else waits for another route. Carts go to the curb or the alley no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, face the roadway within three feet of the curb and away from poles and mail boxes, and come back in by 7 p.m. that day. Leaves and yard debris are collected twice a month in a separate pile near the garbage collection point, and nothing else may be mixed into it.
All loads reaching the Dougherty County landfill must be fully covered or secured, and commercial loads must be tarped entering and leaving. The gate is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., closes fifteen minutes early so the site can shut down safely, and closes for an hour one day a month for a safety meeting. Herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries and tires with rims are refused, hazardous and biomedical waste is refused, restricted non-hazardous waste needs written approval, and children must stay in vehicles with no scavenging.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Albany.
How much does furniture removal cost in Albany?+
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 Albany?+
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.
Where does a couch go in Albany?+
To the Dougherty County landfill, which accepts most non-hazardous material and is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and closed most public holidays. All loads have to be covered or secured. For a whole cleanout, the city rents roll-off containers through the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800, with the set-out, pull, tipping and daily rental charges on its published fee schedule.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Albany?+
The City of Albany does it through the Solid Waste Division at 1900 N. Monroe St., reachable at (229) 302-1800. Household garbage is collected in city-issued carts and yard debris twice a month, additional containers are arranged for a fee, and the city also rents roll-off containers for larger loads. The county runs the landfill and the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful recycling drop-offs, which is where recyclables and electronics go.Official guidance
Where do Albany paint, oil and batteries go?+
Batteries never go to the landfill, which refuses them along with herbicides, pesticides, gasoline and oils, so household and rechargeable batteries go to the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful drop-offs at 2521 Meredyth Drive or behind the James H. Gray, Sr. Civic Center. Paint is a household problem rather than a site: buy only what you need, use or donate the rest, dry latex paint out so the solid residue can go in the roll-out cart, and recycle an empty dry steel can at Albany Recycling Services, 1301 East Gordon Avenue.Official guidance
What does the city charge for containers and collection?+
Residential household garbage collection is billed monthly under a schedule the city adjusts each July, and additional containers are arranged with the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800. Roll-off containers carry a one time set-out charge, a pull charge, a per ton tipping charge and a daily rental charge on the published fee schedule, and the same schedule prices passenger, truck and farm tractor tires separately.Official guidance
