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.

A couch, dresser, table or chair is exactly the kind of large household item the town's fee based bulk collection is written for. It cannot ride the garbage cart, which takes household trash only and collects nothing left beside it, so furniture has to be on a booked bulk day.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for trip fee when 1 or 2 bulk items are booked together, with 15 dollars per item once 3 or more items are scheduled. Apex residential addresses on a booked bulk day. The fee is added to the next Town of Apex utility bill, and the service is not available for businesses or apartments.
When & how
Book the pickup and have the furniture at the curb by 6 am on the confirmed day. The crew works at the curb only, so furniture has to come out of the house or garage before the truck arrives.
Get it ready
Take the piece apart where it comes apart and keep the parts in one pile, remove or bag the cushions, keep the pile clear of the cart, and offer anything still usable for donation before it becomes a bulk item.
Carts out the night before, bulk items at the curb by 6 am
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same collection day, and the town asks that carts be rolled to the curb the night before. Bulk items follow a different clock: once your pickup is confirmed, everything has to be at the curb by 6 am on the collection day, because the crew will not enter private property. Space carts 3 to 4 feet apart so the automated arm can reach each one.
The garbage cart takes household trash only, preferably bagged, and anything left beside a full cart is not collected. Yard waste, brush, construction debris, automotive parts including tires, hazardous waste, hot ashes, metal and corrugated cardboard are all prohibited, which is why a couch, a mattress or an appliance never rides the cart either. Recycling goes in the recycling cart loose and never bagged, with the lid closed and nothing outside.
Booked pickups, the confirmation email and the Friday bed rule
Request a bulk pickup through the town's online service request form or through Ask Apex at (919) 249-3311. An email confirming the collection day arrives within 1 to 2 business days, the service is not available to businesses or apartments, and mattresses and box springs are collected on Fridays only, with each piece counted as its own item. Wrap or box fragile pieces such as mirrors and glass so nothing scatters, and flatten moving boxes completely because the town charges bulk rates when boxes are not empty and flattened.
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.

How much does furniture removal cost in Apex?+
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 Apex?+
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.
Will Apex pick up a couch?+
Yes, on a booked bulk day. A couch is a large household item, and the town's bulk collection removes those from the curb for a fee that is added to your utility bill. Request the pickup through the town service request form or Ask Apex at (919) 249-3311, keep the couch out of the garbage cart, and have it at the curb by 6 am on the day you are given.Official guidance

Garbage and recycling carts go out weekly on the same collection day, carts should be 3 to 4 feet apart with the lids closed and nothing beside them, and Ask Apex at (919) 249-3311 handles schedules, missed collections and bulk item requests.Official guidance
