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 the city's own example of a bulky item, which it defines as anything too big to fit in the regular trash bin. A homeowner inside the city limits gets one free bulky item or appliance pickup each month, scheduled for the next available trash day, and a second pickup in the same month is charged by the cubic yard.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Homeowners inside the city limits get one free bulky item or appliance pickup per month, scheduled for the next available trash day; each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total above $100 has to be approved by the resident before removal.
When & how
Submit the request through the city online form or call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and a pickup date comes back with the confirmation. Do not put the piece out until that date arrives, because the pickup is booked for the next available trash day and summer dates can run two or three weeks out.
Get it ready
Place the piece within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the pickup day, keep it unblocked by vehicles and bins, and keep at least three feet of clearance from trees, fences, utility poles and overhanging limbs. Put it out no earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled date, keep it out of the trash and yard waste bins, and keep electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with bodily fluids out of the load entirely.
One free bulky or appliance pickup and one free yard waste extra pickup a month
Homeowners inside the city limits get one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste extra pickup every month at no charge, and both are booked for the next available trash day. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number. Further pickups in the same month are charged by the cubic yard, and any total over a stated threshold needs the resident's approval before removal.
Wait for the assigned date before putting anything at the curb
An extra pickup is scheduled rather than automatic, and the city warns that placing an item at the curb before the assigned date can bring a citation from Code Enforcement. Items should not sit out more than 24 hours before the pickup, they go within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the day, and they need three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles. Summer demand can push a date out two or three weeks, so request before a deadline.
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.
Book the free monthly bulky item or appliance pickup
A homeowner inside the city limits with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, an exercise machine or another item too big for the regular bin.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One appliance or bulky item pickup a month is free for homeowners inside the city limits and lands on the next available trash day. Each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total over $100 needs the resident's approval before removal.
Arrange it
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the city online request, and the pickup date comes back in the confirmation. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number.
Electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with human or animal bodily fluids are not accepted on the pickup, and appliance doors and lids have to be removed or taped shut. Items go out only after the assigned date, no more than 24 hours before the pickup and no earlier, because early placement can bring a citation.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Bend.
How much does furniture removal cost in South Bend?+
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 South Bend?+
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 I get rid of a couch in South Bend?+
Book it as the monthly bulky item pickup. The city defines a bulky item as anything too big to fit the regular trash bin and gives furniture as its example, and homeowners inside the city limits get one bulky item or appliance pickup a month at no charge, scheduled on the next available trash day. Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or use the online form, then put the couch within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before it.Official guidance
Who collects trash in South Bend?+
The city Solid Waste division does the work itself, not a franchise hauler. It runs weekly trash collection for every city address from Monday through Thursday, with trash, yard waste and extra pickups all on the same day for a household, and service is delayed by one day when a city holiday falls on the collection day. Residents sign up when they start water service, and 311 handles scheduling and questions.Official guidance
What is the free monthly extra pickup?+
Homeowners inside the city limits can request one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste pickup each month at no charge, and both are scheduled on the next available trash day. The bulky item allowance covers anything too big to fit the regular bin, with furniture as the city's example, and the yard waste allowance covers up to 10 30-gallon biodegradable bags or a cubic yard of bundled and tied limbs. A second pickup in the same month is charged by the cubic yard.Official guidance
