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.

The furniture goes outside. We take it from there.
Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from an accessible outdoor spot. A little preparation makes it clear which pieces are going and how to reach them.
Book before moving items outside, then follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Contact us before booking if your building only allows a short pickup window; the booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Count the furniture you want removed and empty drawers, shelves and cabinets. Add any other items to the booking instead of leaving an unlisted pile beside the furniture.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
There is no city bulky item pickup, so furniture goes to a donation outlet when it still works and to the licensed hauler for disposal when it does not.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no bulky item rate because it collects no trash, and its directory sends a piece that is not reusable to the garbage hauler for disposal options. Confirm the item, the pickup and the amount with the licensed hauler on the account.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with the hauler rather than setting the piece at the curb on the assumption it will go with household trash, since the City collection is not the operator.
Get it ready
Offer usable furniture for reuse first, because the City lists Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore as donation routes, with Immigrant Services able to pick up items. Keep a piece that is not reusable off the sidewalk and confirm with the hauler where it should go.
Champaign's curbside service belongs to licensed private haulers, and the City states that it collects neither trash nor recycling. Anything that will not fit the cart, including furniture, a mattress, an appliance or an exercise machine, is arranged with the hauler on the account rather than reported to the City.
The City's directory leads with donation for anything still in working order. Furniture and reusable household items go to Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore, mattresses and box springs in good condition can be picked up by Immigrant Services or Empty Tomb, and working appliances go to Immigrant Services or ReStore.
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.
Any Champaign household or building that needs trash service, and the route for furniture, mattresses, appliances and other items the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
Haulers set their own rates because the City provides no collection, so confirm the cart size, the collection day, the bulky item terms and the amount directly with the hauler. Curbside recycling is included with the trash service at no extra cost for buildings of four units or fewer.
Arrange it
Choose a licensed hauler, set up the account, and ask the same company about the oversized item rather than treating it as a separate municipal service.
The City does not regulate collection hours, and the hauler's rules decide what is picked up at the curb, so an item the hauler will not take needs one of the donation, receiving site or collection event routes instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Champaign.
How much does furniture removal cost in Champaign?+
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 Champaign?+
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.
How do large items leave a Champaign home?+
Through the licensed hauler on the account, because the City does not collect trash and runs no bulky item route of its own. The City's directory suggests donating reusable furniture to Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore and contacting the garbage hauler for disposal of anything that is not reusable.Official guidance
Who handles waste collection in Champaign?+
Licensed private haulers, because the City does not collect trash or recycling at all. Public Works on 217-403-4700 runs the recycling requirements, the multifamily program and the seasonal yard waste collections, while the hauler on the account handles the carts and anything arranged as an extra pickup.Official guidance
Do the free collections cover my address?+
The yard waste collections, the holiday tree collection and the multifamily program apply to residential properties inside the Champaign city limits. Recycling through the hauler is required for buildings of up to four units inside the city, while an address outside the city limits sits in a different jurisdiction.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of a large item?+
That depends on the route rather than on a city rate. Donation is free through the outlets the City lists, the hauler charges whatever its own bulky item terms provide, a mattress drop off at the Republic Services transfer station carries a fee, and construction and demolition material at GFL starts from a published minimum charge.Official guidance
Is there a permanent hazardous waste drop off?+
No. The City states there is no permanent local drop off for residents, and the annual state sponsored collection event in the summer is described as the only local option, with registration required and help available on 217-403-4780. The current events accept only oil based paints and stains.Official guidance
Where do tires and motor oil go?+
Neither has a standing city drop off. Tires depend on occasional county collection events or a tire retailer, and some businesses will only take them when new tires are bought there. Motor oil and gasoline are accepted occasionally by auto parts stores and oil change shops, with the state collection events as the fallback.Official guidance
