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.

Furniture is accepted at the Recycle Ann Arbor drop-off sites with published per piece prices rather than at the curb.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the published Drop-Off Station furniture prices, which start with a dining or living room chair and rise for an upholstered chair, a love seat, a couch or sofa and a sleeper sofa, with the per day gate fee also applying. Residents and businesses bringing furniture to the Drop-Off Station or the Recovery Yard. Ann Arbor residents can waive the gate fee with the city pass, but the per item furniture price still applies, and credit card is the only accepted payment.
When & how
Drop off during posted hours, which are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Drop-Off Station, or Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the Recovery Yard, both closed on the weekend or the days each site lists.
Get it ready
Keep upholstery dry and the piece whole, bring help because both sites are self service for drop-off, and separate furniture from recyclable material so the gatehouse can price the load correctly. Sofa beds and sleepers carry a higher published price than a plain couch.
The city states that large items such as furniture, mattresses and appliances left at the curb will not be collected and can draw a fine, and that televisions, computers and other electronics and appliances containing freon are not cart material either. Those loads go instead to the Recycle Ann Arbor Drop-Off Station on East Ellsworth Road or to the Recovery Yard on Jackson Road.
The city pass that waives the Drop-Off Station gate fee
Ann Arbor residents can apply online at the city stream portal for a pass that waives the three dollar gate entry fee at the Drop-Off Station, with proof of residency required and commercial users excluded. The pass covers the entry fee only, so the per item disposal charges for large items and hard-to-recycle materials still apply, and the site takes credit card only.
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.
