Mattress Removal

View →
$99first item · +$30 each more

Detroit's weekly bulk service often skips mattresses due to bedbugs and contamination concerns. We pick up any mattress same-day from Midtown apartments to Palmer Woods homes — no DPW restrictions, no 1-2 week Paid Bulk waits.

Couch Removal

View →
$99first item · +$28 each more

Couch removal in Detroit starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds with no appointment window. Detroit households already fund city trash service through the $270 annual solid waste fee, but bulky furniture still falls into weekly set-out timing, item limits, or paid-bulk request workflows that can stretch 1-2 weeks when you need a couch gone now. That delay is a problem in high-turnover neighborhoods like Midtown, Corktown, and New Center, where move-outs and replacement deliveries happen on tight timelines. Dropcurb solves couch removal in Detroit with a curbside-only model: set out your sofa, loveseat, recliner, or sleeper sofa, then get text updates and photo confirmation when pickup is done. You skip in-home estimate visits and avoid quote roulette. Competitor pages in Detroit show couch removal starting around $80-$90 and often push quote-first flows, while Dropcurb shows exact pricing up front and starts at $79. If you need same-day couch removal in Detroit without phone calls, this is the fastest path.

Furniture Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

Furniture removal in Detroit starts at $79 with Dropcurb — book online in 60 seconds, set everything curbside, and skip the appointment window. In Detroit, furniture removal demand spikes in renter-heavy neighborhoods like Midtown, Corktown, and New Center during move-outs and lease turnovers. The city's weekly bulk program helps with routine set-outs, but Detroit also routes overflow through DPW's Paid Pick-Up Bulk Collection, where residents request a quote at (313) 876-0004 and pay based on debris size and weight; city guidance also references rates around $40 per cubic yard for extra pickup. That gap is where same-day furniture removal matters: couches, desks, dressers, and bed frames can sit for days and trigger complaints when they miss collection timing. Dropcurb gives Detroit residents instant, itemized pricing instead of on-site estimate roulette. Compared with full-service competitors that often start around $100+ and price on arrival, Dropcurb furniture removal stays simple: no home entry, no haggling, and photo confirmation when your furniture removal job is done.

Appliance Recycling

View →
$134first item · +$84 each more

Appliance recycling in Detroit starts at $104 with Dropcurb, all-in, so you can book online in 60 seconds and leave the item curbside. In Detroit, appliance recycling demand spikes during move-outs in Midtown, Corktown, and New Center, where dead fridges and broken washers cannot sit outside for long without blight complaints. Detroit expanded weekly bulk service, but city guidance still routes many problem items through special disposal paths, and the city's Free Dumping rules specifically require residents to remove appliance doors and properly handle refrigerants before drop-off. That creates a real gap when you need appliance recycling today, not another trip across town. Dropcurb handles appliance recycling in Detroit with same-day curbside pickup, certified downstream recycling, and text plus photo confirmation when the appliance recycling job is complete. Competitor options in Detroit often mean quote-first or variable pricing, with listings ranging from about $85 starts to $48 per hour on task apps, while Dropcurb publishes upfront pricing at $104 for the first appliance and $54 for each additional unit.

TV Removal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

TV removal in Detroit starts at $99 with Dropcurb, including certified e-waste handling, so you can book online in 60 seconds and leave your old screen curbside. In Detroit, tv removal requests spike after move-outs in Midtown, Corktown, and New Center, where apartment turnover leaves older flat screens and broken sets stacked in hallways or alleys. The city's free drop-off program helps, but Detroit's Free Dumping rules cap residents at 1,000 pounds per day, ban commercial vehicles, and route TVs through the Household Hazardous Waste facility schedule instead of simple curbside pickup. That creates friction when you need same-day tv removal, not another trip across town. Dropcurb solves that gap with same-day curbside tv removal, upfront item pricing, and photo confirmation when the TV is gone. Competitors like 1-800-GOT-JUNK in Metro Detroit typically run $150+ with on-site estimates, while LoadUp markets TV disposal in Detroit at around $79 per item before service and recycling fees. Dropcurb keeps tv removal predictable at $99 with no home entry and no estimate appointment.

Construction Debris Removal

View →
$109first item · +$59 each more

Construction debris removal in Detroit starts at $79 with Dropcurb — book online in about 60 seconds, set materials at the curb, and get photo-confirmed pickup without waiting at home. In Detroit, construction debris piles are common after basement updates, rental turnovers, and porch or roofing repairs across neighborhoods like Midtown, Corktown, and East English Village. That demand spikes in spring and summer when more small contractor projects and DIY rehabs hit the same weekly collection cycle. Detroit's own DPW Free Citizen Bulk Drop-Off Centers allow residents up to 1,000 pounds or 1 cubic yard per day, but they explicitly do not accept construction debris, and commercial vehicles are not allowed. The city's free dumping page also excludes construction and demolition debris, which leaves homeowners searching for paid options fast. Dropcurb solves that gap with fixed online pricing, same-day curbside logistics, and no on-site estimate dance. Competitor pages like LoadUp advertise construction debris pickup in Detroit starting at $89, while Dropcurb starts at $79 for qualifying loads. If you need construction debris cleared in Detroit today, this is the fastest no-appointment path.

E-Waste Disposal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

Detroit DPW won't touch electronics curbside. TVs, monitors, computers picked up from Downtown condos to Boston-Edison homes — proper disposal guaranteed without driving to a drop-off center.

Exercise Equipment Removal

$159first item · +$85 each more

Treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches — too heavy for Detroit's weekly curbside limits. Get it to the curb in Midtown or New Center and we handle the rest same-day.

Bulk Junk Removal

$79first item · +$29 each more

Garage cleanouts, move-out piles, renovation debris. Multiple items priced upfront. Faster than DPW's Paid Bulk Service and cheaper than 1-800-GOT-JUNK's $150+ minimum.
