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.

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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

Household furniture is a named bulk item. Chairs, couches and tables go out at the curb on the weekly bulk route, and the cleanup weeks take household furnishings and furniture again, so a couch or a table does not need an appointment here.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture rides the contracted residential collection and no per-piece charge is published, so confirm the account terms with Republic Services at 269-216-8008. Donation is the other route, and the county guide points to Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army, each of which sets its own acceptance rules.
When & how
Put the furniture at the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular trash day, because the bulk item collection runs weekly alongside the trash route and may arrive on a different truck from the recycling and yard waste trucks.
Get it ready
Keep every item safely liftable, since the bulk collection will not take a piece that cannot be handled at the curb. Take doors and drawers down where that makes the piece manageable, and keep the load out of the street and clear of the carts so each truck can reach its own material.
Battle Creek asks for garbage, recycling, bulk items and yard waste at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and the bins can go out after 1 p.m. the day before. Bins come back in by 9 a.m. the day after pickup and may not be stored in the front yard, under ordinances 1064.23, 1064.26 and 1064.27. No container may weigh more than 50 pounds or be longer than 4 feet, and needles, oil, paint, turpentine and batteries never go in a container. Trash, recycling, bulk items and yard waste can arrive on different trucks at different times, so an early truck is not a missed pickup.
Bulk items are weekly, and two conditions decide them
The bulk item collection runs weekly on your regular trash day, and the whole list depends on two conditions. First, the item has to be safely liftable at the curb. Second, an appliance needs its doors removed, and a refrigerator or air conditioner needs its refrigerant removed by a licensed technician who tags the unit, because the hauler states that an untagged unit will not be picked up. A wrapped mattress and dry household furniture meet the test as they are.
The spring cleanup runs the week of May 18 to 22, 2026 and the fall cleanup runs the week of September 14 to 18, 2026. Material is bagged and placed neatly at the curb for collection on your regular trash day during that week, and the cleanup is open only to homes inside the City of Battle Creek. The accepted list adds household doors and windows, carpet and bundled brush, toys, packaging and miscellaneous junk to the usual furniture and wrapped mattresses. Refrigerant appliances, electronics, televisions, tires, batteries, oil, chemicals, concrete, shingles and iron or cast iron bathtubs are turned away, and trailers are not allowed.
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.
Republic Services under contract with the City of Battle Creek, with Calhoun County Recycling and Solid Waste
Use the weekly bulk item collection
A household with a mattress, box spring, couch, table or another bulky piece that can be lifted safely at the curb.
Cost & conditions
The weekly bulk collection is part of the contracted residential service and no per-item charge is published, so confirm the current rate and the account terms with Republic Services at 269-216-8008.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular trash day. Bulk items are collected weekly on that day and may arrive on a different truck from the trash, recycling and yard waste routes.
Items have to be safely liftable at the curb, containers may not exceed 50 pounds or 4 feet, and construction and demolition material, tires, roof shingles, electronics, televisions, batteries, oil, paint and chemicals are refused. An appliance needs its doors removed, and a refrigerant unit needs licensed removal and a tag before it will be taken.
A household with a couch, table, dresser or other usable furniture that could be reused instead of thrown out.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Donation is free, and each organisation sets its own acceptance rules, so confirm the piece and the drop-off hours before loading.
Arrange it
Goodwill Donation Centers are at 6085 B Dr. N. and 15383 Helmer Rd. in Battle Creek and 842 W. Michigan Ave. in Marshall. Habitat for Humanity is at 595 North Ave. in Battle Creek on 269-966-2502, and the Salvation Army drop box is at 294 Highland Ave.
Donation centers decide what they will take and often refuse worn, stained or incomplete furniture, and the county guide asks residents to call before using a listed service because the listings change. Nothing that the store refuses can fall back on the cleanup weeks once those have passed.
Usable household furniture and household goods for reuse through the Habitat programme, which the county recycling guide lists among the reuse options for furniture.
The organisation decides what it will accept, so a worn or incomplete piece may be refused and then needs one of the other routes. The county guide asks residents to call before using any listed service.
Call 269-966-2502 before bringing a load, since the guide warns that the listing can change.
No charge. Donation is free to the household, and acceptance is at the organisation's discretion.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Battle Creek.
How much does furniture removal cost in Battle Creek?+
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 Battle Creek?+
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.
Will the city take a couch at the curb?+
Yes. Household furniture, including chairs, couches and tables, is a named bulk item, and bulk items are collected weekly on your regular trash day at the curb by 6 a.m. The piece has to be safely liftable. Household furnishings and furniture also come out during the spring and fall cleanup weeks, and Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army are the donation options if the couch is still usable.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Battle Creek?+
Republic Services collects under a contract with the City of Battle Creek, which gives single-family homes weekly unlimited trash, a weekly bulk item collection for anything safely liftable at the curb, and optional every-other-week recycling that requires enrolment.
