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.

Furniture is named on the city's bulky waste list and the set-out area is described as about the size of a full-size couch, so a couch goes out on one of the two annual bulky collections.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for the bulky collection, so confirm the charge with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 when the collection is booked.
When & how
Call Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 to schedule the bulky collection, noting that only one may be scheduled per collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the eight by four by four set-out area, place it neatly at the curb, and keep construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste out of the same load.
A Council Bluffs bulky load has to fit in an area eight feet long, four feet wide and four feet high, which the city equates to a full-size couch. Carpet is bundled into four foot lengths no thicker than two feet or heavier than sixty pounds, loose items are bagged at thirty pounds or less, and every mattress and box spring must be bagged or completely covered in plastic shrink wrap. Items go neatly at the curb, one bulky pickup may be scheduled per collection day, and bulky and appliance pick-ups cannot be combined.
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.
City of Council Bluffs Solid Waste with Waste Connections
Waste Connections appliance and bulky collections
A Council Bluffs household with up to two appliance pick-ups and two bulky waste pick-ups a year, covering furniture, mattresses, toilets, bathtubs, carpets and electronics.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the allowance of two appliance and two bulky collections a year without a rate, so the charge is confirmed with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Call Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549 to schedule, remembering that each appliance counts individually toward the two appliance pick-ups, that only one bulky pickup may be scheduled per collection day, and that the two types cannot be combined.
A bulky load must fit in an eight by four by four area, loose items are bagged at thirty pounds or less, mattresses and box springs must be bagged or shrink wrapped, and construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste are excluded from bulky waste.
Self-haul in Council Bluffs means the Council Bluffs Recycling Center at 4441 Gifford Rd, open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It takes household recyclables alongside construction debris, electronics and household hazardous material, charges construction material by the ton with a ten dollar minimum per load, charges electronics at forty-five cents a pound on the scale, and requires payment at the time of service. Hazardous material only comes in on its own window, Tuesday to Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the second Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and the centre refuses household garbage, ashes, asbestos, ammunition, dead animals, dirt and soil, fire-damaged material and fireworks because it is not a landfill or transfer station.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Council Bluffs.
How much does furniture removal cost in Council Bluffs?+
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 Council Bluffs?+
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 Council Bluffs?+
On one of the two bulky waste collections each household gets each year, scheduled with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549. Furniture is named on the bulky list, the set-out area is eight feet long by four feet wide by four feet high, which the city describes as a full-size couch, and no rate is published for the service. Construction debris, garbage, recycling and yard waste cannot be part of that load.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Council Bluffs?+
Waste Connections collects under the city contract and is the single number for scheduling, missed collections and account questions at (712) 890-5549. The contract covers weekly garbage and yard waste, single stream recycling every other week, seasonal yard waste between April 15 and May 31 and again between October 15 and November 30, two appliance collections and two bulky waste collections a year, and a special collection for residents with disabilities. The WasteConnect app shows the collection day for an address.Official guidance
Where do Council Bluffs paint, oil and batteries go?+
To the Council Bluffs Recycling Center at 4441 Gifford Rd, but only during the hazardous material window: Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the second Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and closed Monday. Cleaning products, automotive fluids and filters, pesticides, latex, oil, spray and stain paint, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, cooking oil and bagged vape devices are accepted.

What does Council Bluffs charge for large items?+
The city publishes the allowance rather than a rate: two appliance pick-ups and two bulky waste pick-ups a year, arranged with Waste Connections at (712) 890-5549, so the collection charge is confirmed with the hauler. Drop-off rates at the Recycling Center are published, with construction material charged by the ton and a ten dollar minimum per load, and electronics at forty-five cents a pound weighed on arrival.Official guidance
