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.

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.

The city does not collect furniture at the curb, but its free clean-up days take furniture from city residents at the Public Works drive-through sites.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Jackson residents only, at the free spring and fall City Clean-Up Day drive-through drop-off, because the event is funded by the city; Jackson runs no curbside furniture collection at any other time of year.
When & how
Check the city clean-up day page for the date and bring the furniture to the Department of Public Works Operations Center at 521 Water St., or to Nixon Park at 400 E. North St. when the fall event uses it, inside the announced window that has run 7:00 to 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday. Stay in the vehicle line and follow staff directions to the unloading area.
Get it ready
Load the furniture so staff can reach it from the drop zone, keep yard waste apart from the household trash, and leave anything on the refused list at home, because staff may check bags in the line and the city turns away appliances holding Freon, electronics, tires, batteries, paint or liquid waste, motor oil and hazardous waste.
Jackson does not run a citywide curbside collection. The city's utilities page tells new residents they need to find a trash pickup provider and prints the approved list, and the city's 2022 refuse review said Jackson was alone among its peer cities in not providing garbage service directly or through a single contracted hauler. Weekly trash, curbside recycling and any bulky collection therefore come from whichever approved hauler a household signs with, while the city's own programmes are the autumn loose leaf collection and the spring and fall clean-up days.
The clean-up day is a drive-through event for residents
The free City Clean-Up Day runs every spring and fall and is open to City of Jackson residents because the city funds it. Loads move through organised drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center at 521 Water St., and the fall event also uses Nixon Park at 400 E. North St. Drivers stay in their vehicles, staff point them to the right unloading area, and residents help unload when they can. Yard waste, general household trash, boxes and furniture are accepted, while batteries, tires, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, appliances holding Freon, hazardous waste, electronics and motor oil are refused, and staff may check bags in the line.
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 free city clean-up day
A City of Jackson household clearing out furniture, boxes, bagged household trash or yard waste that can reach a drop-off site on the event day.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Jackson residents only, because the city funds the event; the announced window has run 7:00 to 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday at the Public Works Operations Center on Water Street and at Nixon Park on East North Street.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle, join the drive-through line, follow staff directions to the unloading area and help unload when you are able.
Electronics, tires, batteries, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, hazardous waste, motor oil and appliances containing Freon are refused, and staff may check bags in the line.
Self-haul to the disposal center on Woodworth Road
A household with a truck or trailer load of household trash, bulky items, a Freon appliance, construction debris or yard waste that would rather pay by weight or by item than book a hauler.
Cost & conditions
From $4.13 per 30-gallon bag of household trash, with bulk items at $37.20 each, Freon units at $66.82 each with the doors removed, construction and loose trash at $77.15 per ton under a two-ton minimum, and yard waste from $4.47 a paper bag. Self-haul to Granger's Disposal Center of Jackson at 555 Woodworth Rd during its weekday and Saturday hours, and pay by card because cash is not accepted.
Arrange it
Load and cover the load, drive to 555 Woodworth Rd, and pay at the gate by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.
Loose trash and construction waste carry a two-ton minimum, yard waste has to be in paper bags, a variable fuel charge is added to each transaction, and prices can change.
A household that would rather have weekly trash, curbside recycling or a bulky item collected from the property than haul it somewhere.
Cost & conditions
Each approved hauler sets its own cart sizes, service days and charges, and the city does not publish a rate, so ask the provider for a quote. Emmons Service, for one, sells curbside recycling as an optional add-on rather than folding it into the base trash service.
Arrange it
Choose a provider from the city's approved list, set up service, and ask about the extra charge for a bulky item or an appliance when you book.
Bulky items, appliances holding Freon and construction material are usually a separate arrangement from the weekly cart, and the city does not collect them, so confirm what the hauler will take before the pickup day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Jackson.
How much does furniture removal cost in Jackson?+
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 Jackson?+
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.
Where can I take a couch in Jackson?+
The city does not collect furniture at the curb. The free route is the City Clean-Up Day, which runs every spring and fall for City of Jackson residents only, over drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center on Water Street and, in the fall, at Nixon Park on East North Street. Furniture, boxes, general household trash and yard waste are accepted there, and anything the event refuses has to be handled another way.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Jackson?+
Household trash is a private arrangement. The city's utilities page tells new residents they need to find a trash pickup provider and prints the City-approved list, which runs from Allied Waste Services and Buckner's Garbage Service through Emmons Service, Granger, Modern Waste and Mohawk Refuse. The city itself collects loose leaves in the autumn and runs the spring and fall clean-up days, and the weekly cart, the recycling service and the collection day all come from the hauler the household chooses.Official guidance
What can I take to the Jackson City Clean-Up Day?+
The free event runs every spring and fall for City of Jackson residents only, over drive-through lines at the Department of Public Works Operations Center on Water Street and, in the fall, at Nixon Park on East North Street. Accepted items are yard waste including brush and grass clippings, general household trash, boxes and furniture. Refused items are batteries, tires, kitchen garbage, paint or liquid waste, appliances that contain or have held Freon, hazardous waste, electronics and motor oil, and staff may check bags in the line.Official guidance
How do I choose a trash hauler in Jackson?+
Start with the City-approved provider list on the city utilities page, which is where the city directs new residents. The haulers run their own services on top of the weekly cart: Emmons Service sells an optional curbside recycling cart to its customers and keeps a drop-off yard on Water Street, and the county page notes that Granger picks up recycling bi-weekly for its customers. Charges, cart sizes and collection days come from the provider rather than from the city.Official guidance
