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.

Duluth has no curbside large item pickup, so furniture is a drop-off at the Materials Recovery Center on Ridgeview Road. The site takes household junk such as broken furniture as mixed waste, priced by the cubic yard rather than by the piece, and staff decide at the gate whether a usable piece belongs in the Reuse Area instead.
City cost & eligibility
From $24 per cubic yard of mixed waste at the Materials Recovery Center, which covers household junk such as broken furniture, old carpeting and unrecoverable textiles, and rises to $30 per cubic yard on October 1, 2026. Any household delivering its own load during Materials Recovery Center hours, with cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover accepted and the fee calculated at the gatehouse before unloading.
When & how
Drive to the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd., which opens Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is closed Sunday through Tuesday and on the listed holidays. Stop at the gatehouse so staff can assess the load and calculate the fee before driving to the right station.
Get it ready
Bring the piece unloaded by the household, because the centre is self service and customers unload their own material. Keep household garbage out of the load, because the site does not accept it, and keep household hazardous waste and leaves or yard waste out as well. If the piece is still usable, ask staff whether it belongs in the Reuse Area, which opens only to people who have items to drop off and closes thirty minutes before the centre.
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, and it publishes no curbside large item pickup. Residents contract a waste hauler, and most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, so all recyclables can go in one bin with no separation. The regional authority still requires residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated for recycling within that stream.
The Materials Recovery Center on Ridgeview Road is the site for furniture, household junk, construction debris, mattresses, appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal and recyclables. The Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Courtland Street takes paint, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and sharps free from Minnesota households. The Yard Waste Compost Site on the same Courtland Street site takes leaves, grass and garden plants free and charges by the yard for brush, logs, dirt and sod.
The Materials Recovery Center is self service, so the household unloads its own material. Visitors stop first at the gatehouse, where staff assess each load and calculate the fee, and then drive to the appropriate station for recycling, reuse or disposal. The Reuse Area opens only to people who have items to drop off, and it closes thirty minutes before the centre itself closes.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Duluth.
How much does furniture removal cost in Duluth?+
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 Duluth?+
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 do I take a couch in Duluth?+
To the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd., which takes household junk such as broken furniture and old carpeting as mixed waste priced by the cubic yard. The centre is self service, so unload the piece yourself, and the fee is calculated at the gatehouse on the way in. It opens Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closes Sunday through Tuesday, and if the couch is still usable staff may send it to the Reuse Area instead.Official guidance
Who picks up trash in Duluth?+
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, so each household contracts a waste hauler. Most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, which lets all recyclables go in one bin with no separation, and the regional authority still asks residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated within that stream. Everything too large for the bin goes to a district drop-off rather than to the curb.Official guidance
What can I take to the Materials Recovery Center?+
Furniture and household junk, mixed construction and demolition material, clean concrete with no rebar or embedded material, pallets and clean wood, appliances, mattresses and box springs, electronics, tires, scrap metal, household recyclables on a three sort system, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic that is clean and dry, holiday lights and electrical cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances. Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted there.Official guidance
Are there fees at the Materials Recovery Center?+
Some streams are free and others are charged by the yard or by the piece. Household recyclables on a three sort system, scrap metal, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic, holiday lights and cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances are free, and one microwave is free each day along with four passenger or pickup tires and the small electronics and rechargeable batteries. Mixed waste, which covers household junk, broken furniture, old carpeting and construction debris, is charged by the cubic yard and that rate rises on October 1, 2026, while mattresses and box springs are charged per piece and appliances per piece.Official guidance
What is the Materials Recovery Center Reuse Area?+
It is the part of the site where reusable items go instead of the landfill, and staff decide whether a piece belongs there. It opens only to people who are dropping material off, so a resident has to be at the centre with a load to shop it, and a customer can take up to two items daily at no charge. The area keeps regular centre hours and closes thirty minutes before the centre itself closes.Official guidance
