Does Kentucky offer free bulk pickup?
Most cities in Kentucky offer some form of free bulk pickup, but every program has different limits, scheduling requirements, and item exclusions. Some cities require scheduling 2+ weeks in advance, while others only run quarterly. See the comparison table above for a city-by-city breakdown. Dropcurb offers same-day pickup starting at $79 in all 5 cities — no scheduling, no item restrictions.
How fast can I get junk removed in Kentucky?
Same day. Book before noon in any of our 5 Kentucky cities and your items are picked up by 8 PM. No appointment windows. Place items at the curb and go about your day. We text you confirmation when the hauler completes the pickup.
What items does Dropcurb pick up in Kentucky?
Dropcurb picks up furniture (couches, dressers, desks, tables, bed frames), mattresses and box springs, appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers), electronics (TVs, monitors, computers), exercise equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes), outdoor items (grills, patio furniture, trampolines), and bagged junk. We do not pick up hazardous materials, propane tanks, tires, or items over 400 lbs like hot tubs and pianos.
Do I have to be home for a Dropcurb pickup in Kentucky?
No. Dropcurb is curbside-only across all 5 cities in Kentucky. Place items at the curb (or your driveway apron) by 8 AM the day of pickup. The hauler texts you a confirmation photo when the pickup is complete — no signature, no walk-through, and no one enters your home or garage. This is the core difference between Dropcurb and a traditional in-home haul: you book online, leave it out, and go about your day.
