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.

Couches, upholstered chairs, tables and other household furnishings are curbside large items in Livonia, collected on the regular trash day with no separate charge and no request.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Household furnishings are collected routinely at no separate charge under the refuse millage that funds curbside collection, up to two large items per Livonia household each week.
When & how
Collected on your regular trash day by a separate truck from the cart, after 6 p.m. the evening before and before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Get it ready
Put the piece at the curb or the edge of the street, never in the roadway, and leave room for the carts. A sectional section and a mattress left on a frame each count as their own piece against the two item weekly limit.
Carts and large items go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before your collection day and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Pickup starts at 7 a.m. and there is no set time for a particular street, so an early route can pass before you have looked outside. Bring empty containers in within 12 hours of collection.
Only city issued trash and recycling carts are emptied. Put them at the front curb or the edge of the street, never in the roadway, with the wheels facing the curb, about three feet between carts and four feet of clearance from overhead obstructions. Once the carts are full, extra items may be placed at the curb beside them.
Household furnishings and appliances are collected by a separate truck on the regular collection day, without a request, up to two large items per household each week. A mattress and a box spring count as one piece each, and anything past the weekly limit waits for the next collection week.
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day delay the rest of that week by one day when they fall on a weekday. A holiday on a weekend leaves the schedule alone, though trucks can run early because loads are lighter that week. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Juneteenth, Columbus Day, Election Day and Veterans Day do not change collection.
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.

Refuse Disposal Site on Glendale Avenue
A household with carpeting, furniture, household clutter, a wheelbarrow of building material, winter yard waste or up to ten tires that the curb will not take.
Cost & conditions
From $3 per vehicle at the entrance gate, with a car or station wagon at the lowest published rate and a higher rate for a van, pickup truck or trailer. Livonia residents only, with refuse originating from a Livonia household, paid in cash at the gate.
Arrange it
Drive to 32300 Glendale Avenue, east of Farmington Road between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads. Fees are collected in cash at the gate, and the site publishes different winter and season hours, so confirm the current schedule first.
Building material is limited to a small load of about a wheelbarrow full. Animal waste, chemicals, fungicides, gasoline, paint and pesticides are refused, and mattresses and appliances are not named among the accepted items.
Self hauling in Livonia has three published destinations, and each one takes a different kind of load. Household clutter, furniture, carpeting, small amounts of building material and up to ten tires go to the Refuse Disposal Site at 32300 Glendale Avenue, which is open to Livonia households only, charges per vehicle in cash at the entrance gate, and publishes a separate winter schedule. Clean wood, brush, pallets, plywood, logs and stumps go next door to the Mid-Michigan Recycling Center at 32700 Glendale Street, free for a Livonia resident with a Livonia driver's license and proof of residency in a personally owned vehicle. Televisions, computers, chemicals, paint, needles and batteries go to ERG Environmental Services at 13040 Merriman Road on weekdays, where residency is verified and the published charge is by weight. Cardboard larger than three feet by three feet, larger scrap metal and vehicle batteries can also go to the Drop-Off Recycling Center on the south side of Glendale Avenue. Confirm the season before you load, because the refuse site changes hours, and confirm the drop-off center terms because no charge is published for it.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Livonia.
How much does furniture removal cost in Livonia?+
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.

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?+

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.

Set the couch out after 6 p.m. the evening before and before 7 a.m. on collection day and keep it out of the roadway.Official guidance
