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.
Different pieces. One clear total.
Add each furniture item and its quantity. See the combined price before you pay, with loading, transportation and disposal included.
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.

Furniture is accepted for a fee at the Recycling Center Plus in household quantities, and the county fee schedule prices each kind of seating separately, from a love seat without a hide-a-bed up to a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per single-section couch or sofa without a hide-a-bed or recliner at the Olmsted County Recycling Center Plus. Households at the Recycling Center Plus. A love seat or a sectional piece without a hide-a-bed or recliner is 15 dollars, a single-section couch without one is 20 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 25 dollars, and a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 30 dollars. A hauling company sets its own price.
When & how
Take the piece to the Recycling Center Plus at 305 Energy Parkway NE on a Tuesday to Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., or ask the hauler on your account or a licensed Class D junk hauler to collect it and confirm the price.
Get it ready
Know which tier the piece falls into before you load it, because the county prices a hide-a-bed and recliner separately from a plain couch. Keep the furniture out of the garbage cart and off the boulevard, and check that the item is not waterlogged or full of loose debris that would change the load.
Self-hauling runs through the Recycling Center Plus
A self-hauler is a generator that does not contract with a Class A, Class B or Class C licensed hauler and instead brings its own material to the Recycling Center Plus at 305 Energy Parkway NE, and a self-hauler may not collect from anyone else for compensation. The drop-off opens Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., takes pre-sorted recyclables including aluminium cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5, tin and steel cans and clean scrap metal free of charge, and charges a service minimum plus per item fees for garbage, appliances, furniture, mattresses, electronics, tires, brush and construction material. Residential municipal waste that would otherwise reach the landfill must come here.
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.

Olmsted County Environmental Resources with licensed private haulers
Book a licensed Class D junk hauler for a one-time cleanout
A Rochester household that would rather have a garage, estate or apartment cleanout carried out and hauled away in one appointment.
Cost & conditions
The county licenses Class D haulers but does not publish their prices, and a Class D hauler also pays the county drop-off service charge of 190 dollars per ton when it disposes of mixed municipal waste at the county facility, which is part of what its quote has to cover. Ask for the all-in price for the load.
Arrange it
Call a company from the county's published Class D list, which names All Season Junk Removal, Benji's Odd Jobs & Junk Removal, Big Red Moving, Countryside Cleanup, Graham Services, Junk B Gone, Junk Dynasty, Junk It, Junk Pros, Junk Recyclers, Ochoa's Junk Removal & Hauling Services and Sunshine Junk Removal.
A Class D licence does not allow weekly garbage collection, and the hauler has to fill its own vehicle at the property rather than leaving a container for the customer to load, so the schedule has to be arranged around an appointment.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rochester.
How much does furniture removal cost in Rochester?+
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 Rochester?+
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.
What does a couch cost to get rid of in Rochester?+
At the county drop-off a single-section couch without a hide-a-bed or recliner is 20 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece without one is 15 dollars, a love seat or sectional piece with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 25 dollars, and a couch with a hide-a-bed or recliner is 30 dollars. A hauler or licensed junk hauler sets its own price, so ask before the pickup.Official guidance
How do I check one odd item before the trip?+
Use the county's own item lookup. The Recycling Center Plus page carries a waste wizard where you type the name of an item and the county tells you how to recycle or dispose of it, and the same page lists the free pre-sorted recyclables and the charged household items. The Environmental Resources office answers at 507-328-7070 for anything the wizard does not cover.Official guidance
