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.

Old furniture and rugs are named on the city's special load list, so a couch or a set of chairs leaves on that route rather than in the cart. The load is described by phone in advance, the department prices it by the pickup truck sized load, and the material has to sit at the curb because the crew cannot come into an alley or onto the property.
City cost & eligibility
$15 per pickup truck sized load on the special load service, billed by the Owensboro Sanitation Department on the sanitation account. City sanitation customers who call the department in advance and describe the items, so the office can price the load; the fee covers a curbside pickup the size of a pickup truck, and a larger pile is a second load.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department before the pickup, give a description of the furniture, and set it out curbside on the day the office confirms. Only one truck runs this route, so allow for a delay.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole, leave it at the curb rather than in an alley or on the property, keep it at least four feet from vehicles, poles, fences and mailboxes, and keep it clear of tree limbs and overhead lines so the truck can reach it.
Trash goes out by 6 a.m. on the collection day inside the 96 gallon cart with the lid closed, four feet clear of cars, fences, trees and poles, and with the cart facing the street. Once the truck passes your block it does not come back, so a late set out waits a week. The special load crew works under the same curb rule for a different reason: the city does not allow it to drive into an alley or onto private property. Six holidays delay the rest of that week by one day, and yard waste comes on your trash day.
Special load collection is booked, not scheduled. Call the Sanitation Department with a description of what you are putting out so the office can price the load, and expect a delay, because the department runs this service with a single truck. The neighborhood cleanup days are the free alternative to watch for, but they are one day a year for each alliance, items go out the Friday night before, crews work from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the crews will not return for a late set out.
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.
Owensboro Sanitation Department (City of Owensboro)
Book a special load pickup with the city
A household with old furniture, a television, a rug, an appliance, tires, or more household waste than the cart holds.
Cost & conditions
$15 per pickup truck sized load on the special load service, with the freon and per tire charges added where they apply, billed by the Owensboro Sanitation Department. City sanitation customers who call the department in advance and describe the load; the material must be set out curbside because the crew cannot enter an alley or private property.
Arrange it
Call the Sanitation Department at 270-687-8760 during office hours, describe the items so the office can estimate the load, and set everything out on the day it confirms.
One truck runs the whole special load route so delays are normal, construction and demolition material is not part of the residential service, and items the city never named on its list, such as mattresses and exercise machines, have to be confirmed on the same call.
Owensboro Sanitation Department (City of Owensboro)
Wait for your alliance cleanup day
A household that can hold a pile until its own neighborhood cleanup day and wants the bulky items taken at no cost.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents on their alliance's scheduled cleanup day, run by the Neighborhood Alliance Program with the Sanitation Department; no call to CityAction is required, and the schedule is published each year.
Arrange it
Find your alliance on the city information map, put approved items at the curb the Friday night before the scheduled cleanup, and leave them out, because crews work from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and cannot return.
Crews take junk furniture, appliances, tires and bagged or boxed small trash, and they refuse construction debris or materials, yard waste, dirt, paint and any type of liquid. The published 2026 rounds ran from March to June, so a household that needs material gone now should book the special load route instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Owensboro.
How much does furniture removal cost in Owensboro?+
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 Owensboro?+
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.
Where does an old couch go in Owensboro?+
On the city's special load route. Old furniture and rugs are on the list the Sanitation Department publishes for that service, which is per pickup truck sized load and has to be booked by phone first so the office can price it. The crew collects curbside only and cannot drive into an alley or onto the property.Official guidance
Who picks up trash in Owensboro?+
The City of Owensboro does, through its own Sanitation Department rather than a franchise hauler. The department serves about 22,000 homes, collects one 96 gallon cart a week and runs yard waste on the same day, and its commercial page states that city code requires exclusive collection of solid waste by the department.Official guidance
How do I arrange a bulky pickup in Owensboro?+
Call the Sanitation Department in advance and describe the load. The published special load route covers excess household solid waste, old furniture, televisions and rugs, appliances and tires, and it is priced by the pickup truck sized load, so anything outside that list, including a mattress or an exercise machine, has to be confirmed on the same call.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day in Owensboro?+
Yes. When New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day falls on a weekday, that day has no collection and the rest of the week slides one day later, which means a normal Friday route is collected on Saturday.Official guidance
