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.

Furniture cannot go in a Hammond cart at all, because miscellaneous junk is on the city's banned list, and no city page publishes a furniture collection programme. The documented route for banned material is a Street Department special pick-up arranged by phone.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the Street Department special pick-up, so confirm the item and the cost at 853-6431 before the piece is put out, and keep it off the alley line until the pickup is agreed.
When & how
Call the Street Department at 853-6431 after placing the material out, as the city instructs for banned items, and confirm the collection day before relying on it.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the city cart, keep the alley line clear because the code enforcement office cites for garbage on the ground, improper containers and excessive piles, and describe the item accurately when calling.
Hammond empties its own carts, and the city is explicit that they carry kitchen garbage only, bagged in plastic, under 50 pounds, out the night before the collection day, in a city cart. Yard waste goes in 30 gallon biodegradable paper bags on the same day, from the first week of April through the last week of November, and the bags must hold only leaves, grass, plants or twigs.
Human feces, brake fluid, animal carcasses, gasoline, cement, oil, wood, bleach, sand, ammonia, dirt, pool chemicals, sod, branches, oil based paint, roofing shingles, yard waste and miscellaneous junk are all banned from the green carts. The city says some of those items can be picked up by the Street Department through a special pick-up arranged at 853-6431 and that others can only be dropped at a Lake County hazardous waste drop-off between April and October.
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.

Arrange a Street Department special pick-up
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, exercise equipment or another banned item that cannot go in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate for the special pick-up, so confirm the item and the cost at 853-6431 before relying on the collection.
Arrange it
Put the material out and call the Street Department at 853-6431, which is the process the city describes for the banned items it can collect.
Only some banned items can be collected this way, construction material is not promised through it, and nothing should sit on the alley line for long because code enforcement cites for improper piles.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hammond.
How much does furniture removal cost in Hammond?+
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 Hammond?+
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 does a Hammond household get rid of a couch?+
Not in the city cart, because miscellaneous junk is on the banned trash list. The city states that some banned items can be picked up by the Street Department through a special pick-up arranged at 853-6431 after the material is placed out, so call that line, confirm the item and the cost, and keep the alley line clear in the meantime.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Hammond?+
The City of Hammond's own Sanitation Department, based at 601 Conkey Street, phone 219-853-6433, with office hours Monday to Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm and operations from 6:00am to 2:30pm. The city emails its own carts, takes kitchen garbage only in plastic bags under 50 pounds, and requires businesses and buildings with three or more apartments to hold a private dumpster contract instead.Official guidance
What can never go in a Hammond cart?+
Human feces, brake fluid, animal carcasses, gasoline, cement, oil, wood, bleach, sand, ammonia, dirt, pool chemicals, sod, branches, oil based paint, roofing shingles, yard waste and miscellaneous junk are all banned, because the city carts are for kitchen garbage only. Water based paint is the exception in reverse: once it is completely dried with no liquid left, it can go on the ground beside the can and be collected with the garbage.Official guidance
