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.

Lawrence prices furniture individually on its bulk item list, and bulk items are collected on the same day as trash and recycling. A regular sofa and a sleeper sofa carry different prices, and a love seat, recliner, desk or bureau is priced per item, so a couch is a scheduled pickup rather than a curbside pile.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per regular sofa on the city bulk item list, which also prices a sleeper sofa at $35 and a love seat, recliner, desk or bureau at $25 each, with each additional item above the allowance at $25. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled by calling Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or booking online.
When & how
Call Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or book the pickup online, and the collection lands on the same day as the regular trash and recycling day for the address. Lawrence divides the city into five sections, each on its own weekday, so the pickup day is the section day rather than a single citywide day.
Get it ready
Keep the furniture out of the 65-gallon container, which is for bagged household trash with the lid closed. Keep the piece clear of the bins and the walkway, and check the price list before stacking anything else beside it, because the second item and every item after the allowance is priced separately.
One 65-gallon container per unit, with overflow bags for the rest
Each housing unit is allocated a single 65-gallon container that has to be pre-approved by the city, with the contractor as the only provider, and hauling and disposal for that container is free of charge. Trash must be securely bagged inside it with the lid properly closed. Households needing more room can buy marked overflow bags with a 33-gallon capacity in packages of five, or buy an additional container, which only the property owner may purchase and which carries an annual service charge.
Bulk items ride the same day as trash and recycling, but only by appointment
Bulk items such as furniture and mattresses are collected on the same day as the trash and recycling pickup for the address, and scheduling runs through Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or the online booking page. The city's agreement with the hauler makes a number of smaller items free, limited to one per household per week, and prices everything else on the published list, with each additional item priced as well.
The city runs in five sections, so the pickup day depends on the address
Lawrence divides the city into five sections and services each on a different day of the week, so the collection day is a section day rather than one citywide day. The same section day carries the bulk item collection, which is why a scheduled large item and the ordinary bags land on one morning rather than two. Pickup times are not published, so the material has to be out before the round reaches the street.
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.
City of Lawrence Department of Public Works with Capitol Waste Services
Book a priced bulk item pickup with the city hauler
A household inside the curbside service area with a couch, an appliance, a television, an exercise machine, a small remodel load or a stack of clutter.
Cost & conditions
From $25 for the standard per item price on the city bulk item list, which runs from $25 for most items through $35 for a sleeper sofa, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher or water heater and $40 for a refrigerator, freezer, television or computer monitor to $45 for an air conditioner, dehumidifier or truck tire, with construction material at $50 per yard and a free category of smaller items limited to one per household per week. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or book the pickup online, and the collection lands on the same day as the trash and recycling day for the address. Check the price for each piece on the bulk item list before the pickup, because the total is built item by item.
The service reaches residential buildings with six or fewer units, so businesses, mixed-use properties and buildings with seven or more units arrange private pickup. The free category is limited to one item per household per week, each additional item is priced at $25, and bulky items cannot go in the single stream recycling bin.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lawrence.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
Book a bulk item pickup with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page, and it is collected on the same day as the trash and recycling day for the address. The city prices a regular sofa and a sleeper sofa separately on its bulk item list, with love seats, recliners, desks and bureaus priced per item, so check the list before setting the piece out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lawrence?+
Capitol Waste Services collects under a city contract. The city states that as of November 2022 it contracted with Capitol for residential solid waste, and that Capitol handles collection, hauling and disposal for all residential trash, recycling and yard waste under a multi-year agreement. Capitol can be reached on 1-844-377-1718, and the city Department of Public Works handles billing questions and the container programme on 978-620-3090.Official guidance
Does Lawrence collect from large apartment buildings?+
No. The curbside programme serves residential buildings with six or fewer housing units, so residential buildings with seven or more units, businesses and mixed-use properties including apartment units over a business have to arrange private pickup. Inside the covered buildings, each unit gets one 65-gallon container approved by the city, with hauling and disposal for that container free of charge.Official guidance
How do I get more trash capacity in Lawrence?+
There are two routes. Households can buy marked overflow bags with a 33-gallon capacity in packages of five from the Department of Public Works or from the two named stores, tying them tightly and setting them neatly beside the barrel on pickup day, or they can buy an additional 65-gallon container, which only the property owner may purchase and which carries an annual service charge and has to be surrendered when the property is sold.Official guidance
