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 city publishes that residents may dispose of one bulk item with each weekly Republic Services collection, and Gary residents may also self-haul larger loads to the city dump sites.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One bulk item per weekly Republic Services collection is included with residential garbage service at no separate charge, and a Gary address may take up to a pickup-truck-size load to either city dump site three times a month free of charge.
When & how
Set the bulk item out with the regular weekly garbage collection, or drive it to one of the two dump sites, which the city publishes as open Monday to Friday with Saturday morning hours on one page and no Saturday hours on the other, so confirm the current schedule by calling 219-963-9400 for 1525 Clay Street or 219-398-6650 for 102 W. Columbus Drive before travelling.
Get it ready
Keep the curbside bulk item with the weekly trash rather than calling for a separate appointment, and for a self-haul load bring a driver's licence or state identification with a Gary address, arrive in a car or pickup truck, and leave the trailer, sideboards, box truck, dump truck and commercial vehicle at home.
Gary does not run an appointment system for bulky material. One bulk item goes out with each weekly Republic Services collection, so place it with the cart, keep it clear of the mailbox and the cart itself, and call (219) 662-8600 when the hauler has to confirm the item.
Three free dump site loads a month with Gary identification
A Gary resident may bring a pickup-truck-size load to 1525 Clay Street or 102 W. Columbus Drive three times a month at no charge, in a car or pickup truck only. Bring a driver's licence or state ID showing a Gary address, and expect to be turned away with a trailer, sideboards, commercial vehicle, dump truck or box truck.
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.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gary.
How much does furniture removal cost in Gary?+
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.

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.

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.
