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.

Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A couch or other household furniture leaves on a bulky item appointment that Capitol Waste Services, the city hauler, arranges with the resident.
City cost & eligibility
No bulky item charge is published in the readable sources, so call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400 to book the appointment and ask the charge.
When & how
Call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400, open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to arrange the bulky item pickup, then put the piece out only for the arranged day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of both carts, since recycling is mandatory in New Bedford and recyclable bottles, cans, jugs, jars, paper and cardboard cannot go in the trash, and set it out only once the collection is arranged.
Separate recyclables, because recycling is mandatory
Recycling is mandatory for everyone in the city, so bottles, cans, jugs, jars, paper and cardboard cannot be placed in the trash, and Capitol Waste Services collects recycling weekly from residents.
Capitol Waste Services picks up bulky items such as furniture and appliances, and brush seasonally, by appointment for New Bedford residents, and answers at (855) 533-3400 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
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.

Use the city curbside program and the bulky appointment
A New Bedford household with weekly trash and recycling and a couch, mattress or appliance that will not fit a cart.
Cost & conditions
No curbside rate and no bulky appointment rate are published in the readable sources, so call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400 to arrange the collection and ask the charge.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400, open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to book a bulky item or brush appointment, and use the weekly collection for trash and recycling.
Recycling is mandatory, yard waste is only collected on designated weeks through the season, and mattresses, clothing, whole tires, leaves, grass and cathode ray tubes are banned from disposal, so those items need a confirmed route.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in New Bedford.
How much does furniture removal cost in New Bedford?+
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 New Bedford?+
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 New Bedford?+
Furniture moves on an appointment pickup. The district lists bulky items such as furniture and appliances as a Capitol Waste Services appointment service, and the city Department of Facilities and Fleet Management oversees the program at (508) 979-1520. No charge is published, so ask when you book with the hauler at (855) 533-3400.Official guidance
