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 on the approved bulky item list for Joplin's franchised curbside service, so a couch or table comes out with a scheduled bulky pickup. Four cubic yards fit in one visit, which is roughly a room's worth of furniture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky pickup is part of the base monthly solid waste rate of $17.42 that every household pays and there is no per item charge. The allowance is four pickups a year with four cubic yards per pickup, and a load past that needs another appointment or a roll-off container.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with Republic Services at 800-431-1507 and set the furniture out on the assigned day, not on a regular trash day.
Get it ready
Empty drawers and cushions, keep the piece dry, and stack it at the curb or alley where the cart is collected. Keep the load inside four cubic yards and ask for help if the piece is too heavy to lift.
Only what fits in the cart is collected on trash day
From October 1, 2026 the hauler collects only trash that fits inside your single cart and will not pick up extra bags or items left beside it. Rent a second cart or enroll in recycling through Republic Services if you regularly have more, and remove carts you do not need so you are not billed for them.
Call Republic Services at 800-431-1507 to schedule a bulky item pickup before anything large goes to the curb. Each household gets four pickups a year, each limited to four cubic yards, and the service is part of the base monthly solid waste rate.
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas delay pickup by one day when the holiday falls on a weekday, with Saturday used to catch up. Weather can also change the schedule, so check with the hauler when a storm passes through.
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.

Scheduled bulky pickup with Republic Services
A single-family house or duplex inside the city limits with a mattress, couch, television, microwave, carpet or a small amount of bundled construction material that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulky pickup is included in the base monthly solid waste rate of $17.42 that every household pays, with four pickups a year and four cubic yards per pickup. Extra carts cost $5.50 per month and optional curbside recycling costs $5.26 per month on the current page.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services at 800-431-1507 or use the municipality form to book each pickup, then set the items out on the day the hauler assigns. Regular trash day now takes only what fits inside the single cart.
Appliances, oils, lead acid batteries, railroad ties, liquid paint, tires, commercial waste and large amounts of construction or demolition debris are refused. Apartment complexes and commercial accounts are served by private haulers rather than this franchise service, so residents of shared buildings should confirm coverage with the building.

Subsidized bulky drop-off at the transfer station
A Joplin household with a load too large for the four cubic yard curbside limit, including bulky items, brush, tree limbs, limited construction debris and up to five tires.
Cost & conditions
The city subsidizes this drop-off and splits the fee with the resident, but the resident share printed on the city's bulky item answer and on the recycling guide are different amounts for the same address, and the current page states only that a reduced cost applies. Confirm the current fee with the facility before you load.
Arrange it
Bring up to 2,000 pounds to 3700 W 7th Street Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Bring a copy of the sewer bill and a matching driver's license, since subsidized pricing is only for verified Joplin residents.
Liquids and chemicals, appliances, hazardous material, regular weekly trash, commercial waste, lead acid batteries and leaves or grass clippings are refused, and anything over 2,000 pounds is outside the subsidized program. Loads must come from a resident household rather than a business.
Up to 2,000 pounds per trip of bulky items, including limited amounts of construction debris, furniture, brush, tree limbs and up to five tires
Joplin residential customers only, with a city subsidy that requires a copy of the sewer bill and a matching driver's license. Liquids and chemicals, appliances, hazardous material, regular weekly trash, commercial waste, lead acid batteries and leaves or grass clippings are not accepted, and loads over 2,000 pounds are outside the subsidized program. The published resident share differs between city pages, so confirm the fee and the load rules before you drive out.
Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., closed Sunday.
The city confirms a reduced cost through its subsidy but the resident shares published on two city pages disagree, so confirm the current fee for your vehicle and load with the facility before you arrive.
Donated construction materials such as lumber, doors, windows, cabinets, counters, fixtures, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, plus household appliances and home furnishings, all sold to the public to fund Habitat home building
Donations are accepted from individuals and businesses during ReStore hours only, and the store decides what it can resell, so items need to be in reusable condition. Mattresses are not on the published donation list, and pickup can be arranged by calling the store in advance.
Donations are taken during ReStore hours, which the city guide lists as Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 417-782-SHOP to confirm the day and to schedule a pickup.
No charge. Donation is free to the donor and the store sells the material to fund Habitat builds. The store accepts what it can resell, so call ahead to confirm a specific item.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Joplin.
How much does furniture removal cost in Joplin?+
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 Joplin?+
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.
Is a couch accepted in the Joplin bulky pickup?+
Yes. Furniture is named on the city's approved bulky item list, along with mattresses, televisions, microwave ovens, carpet bundled to 50 pounds and small amounts of containerized construction debris. Book the pickup with the hauler and keep the whole load inside four cubic yards.Official guidance
Can I donate furniture instead of setting it out?+
The Habitat ReStore at 5201 North Main Street accepts home furnishings, household appliances and building materials during store hours, and you can call 417-782-SHOP to schedule a pickup. Donations need to be in reusable condition, and the store decides what it can take.Official guidance
Who do I call about trash and bulky pickup in Joplin?+
Republic Services handles the franchised residential service at 800-431-1507, which is the number to call for account changes and to schedule each bulky pickup. The city's recycling coordinator answers questions about the drop-off center and hazardous waste at 417-624-0820 extension 1501.Official guidance
Does the city trash service cover apartments?+
Residential collection runs for every single-family house, duplex and approved apartment house inside the city limits, while commercial and apartment complex trash is handled by private haulers. If you live in a shared building, confirm with the property manager whether the building is on the franchise service or a private contract.Official guidance
What do I do with a whole-house clean-out?+
Start with the four scheduled bulky pickups a year, each limited to four cubic yards, and use the subsidized transfer station drop-off for anything larger, up to 2,000 pounds per trip. Loads beyond that need a roll-off container from a private hauler, since neither the curbside service nor the subsidy covers them.Official guidance
