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.

LRS collects one bulk item a week at no charge, for items too large for the cart, with a prepaid charge for extra items and a special pickup estimate for anything needing extra labor or equipment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One bulk item is collected each week at no charge with the residential service. An additional bulk item is $25.00 per item, prepaid, and an item over 50 pounds may require a special pickup instead.
When & how
Set the item out on the regular collection day, at the curb or in the alley by 6 a.m. For an extra item, a prepayment is arranged with LRS first by phone at 844-633-3577 or by emailing a description and photo to Service@LRSrecycles.com, and a special pickup is arranged the same way when equipment or extra labor is needed.
Get it ready
Keep items too large for the cart as the bulk item, and expect a special pickup rather than the standard collection for a piano, a sofa sleeper, a couch with a pull-out bed, a large entertainment center or construction debris. Hazardous items are never accepted as bulk.
A chair, a love seat or sofa, and one part of a sectional couch are named bulk examples, so a piece of furniture uses the free weekly bulk item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One furniture piece can go out as the free weekly bulk item. A second piece in the same week is $25.00 prepaid unless it needs a special pickup because of its weight or the equipment required.
When & how
Put the piece out on the regular Wednesday, Thursday or Friday collection day by 6 a.m., and arrange any extra item with LRS first.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of the carts so the automated trucks can reach the cart, and expect a sofa sleeper or a couch with a pull-out bed to need a special pickup estimate rather than the standard bulk collection.
LRS takes one bulk item every week at no charge, and the published examples are a bed frame, box spring, bicycle, chair, love seat or sofa, one part of a sectional couch, mattress, frame or wall picture and a toy. Each additional item in the same week is $25.00 prepaid, and anything over 50 pounds or needing extra labor moves to a special pickup estimate.
Electronics, appliances and hazardous waste all need a request first
Nothing from those three streams goes out as a surprise: appliances must be prescheduled with LRS before the service day, electronic waste needs a request at least 48 hours ahead for the first full week of the month, and household hazardous waste is scheduled directly with the resident after a request. Everything else, including the free weekly bulk item, goes out by 6 a.m. on the regular collection day.
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.
A household with a couch, a mattress, a bed frame, a bicycle or another large item that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One bulk item is collected each week at no charge as part of the residential service, which the City pays for through the utility bill. An item over 50 pounds may require a special pickup instead.
Arrange it
Put the item out by 6 a.m. on the regular Wednesday, Thursday or Friday collection day, with a mattress or box spring wrapped in plastic first.
Hazardous items are never accepted as bulk, construction debris and items needing extra equipment go to a special pickup estimate, and a mattress and box spring count as two separate items.
A household with more than one large item in the same week.
Cost & conditions
$25 per additional bulk item, prepaid through the hauler. Applies to each bulk item beyond the one free item collected in a week, and the payment is arranged with LRS before the collection. An item over 50 pounds may instead require a special pickup.
Arrange it
Contact LRS at 844-633-3577 or Service@LRSrecycles.com to prepay the additional item, then set it out by 6 a.m. on the collection day.
The prepayment covers an ordinary bulk item only, so anything needing special equipment or additional labor, including a piano or construction debris, is quoted separately.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in DeKalb.
How much does furniture removal cost in DeKalb?+
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 DeKalb?+
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.
What counts as a bulk item in DeKalb?+
Anything too large to fit in the LRS cart or an approved container. The published examples are a bed frame, a box spring, a bicycle, a chair, a love seat or sofa, one part of a sectional couch, a mattress, a frame or wall picture, and a toy.Official guidance
How many bulk items can go out, and what do extra ones cost?+
One bulk item a week is free with the service. Each additional item carries a prepaid per item charge that has to be arranged with LRS in advance and is recorded with this guide, and an item over 50 pounds may need a special pickup rather than the standard collection.Official guidance
What needs a special pickup?+
Items needing special equipment or additional labor, with the page naming a piano, a sofa sleeper, a couch with a pull-out bed, a large entertainment center and construction debris. Call LRS at 844-633-3577 or email a photo to Service@LRSrecycles.com for an estimate.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a couch in DeKalb?+
A love seat or sofa is a named bulk example, so it goes out on the weekly collection day as the free bulk item. A second item in the same week carries the prepaid per item charge recorded with this guide, and a couch with a pull-out bed or a sofa sleeper needs a special pickup estimate from LRS first.Official guidance
Can a sectional go out in one pick up?+
The list treats one part of a sectional couch as a bulk item, so a sectional comes apart across more than one collection. Each additional piece in the same week carries the prepaid per item charge recorded with this guide, or LRS can quote a special pickup for the load.Official guidance
How is DeKalb's trash service set up?+
The City contracts LRS as the exclusive collector for homes receiving weekly curbside or alley service, and the service is paid through the City utility bill. Refuse, recycling, yard waste and organics all run on one weekly collection day, Wednesday through Friday by address, with everything out by 6 a.m.Official guidance
What is the fastest way to clear a house in DeKalb?+
Use the free weekly bulk item for furniture, a mattress or a bed frame, wrap each mattress and box spring in plastic, and prepay additional items for the same week. Appliances have to be prescheduled, electronics wait for the monthly requested collection, and hazardous material goes through the home collection, with construction debris needing its own special pickup estimate.Official guidance
What happens to Christmas trees?+
Real trees are collected on the collection day during the first two weeks of January at no charge. The tree should be bare of bags, tinsel, lights, ornaments, wire and glitter and preferably cut under seven feet, and it will not be collected if it is frozen to the ground. After January 15 prepayment and prescheduling are required.Official guidance
What do I do with leftover paint?+
Oil based paint and flammable oils go through the household hazardous waste home collection or a state regional site. Dry latex paint and its container may go in the regular trash, but liquid latex paint may not be taken by haulers and is saved for the health department's annual latex paint collection, usually in the summer.Official guidance
Where do old medications go?+
To the DeKalb Police Department's 24 hour drop box in the front lobby, which the City lists as the route for prescription medications.Official guidance
