Flat prices in Durham. Every item.
First item includes the pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on. No hourly rates, no truck-volume math, no on-site estimates.
Mattress Removal
View →$99first item · +$30 each more
Any size mattress or box spring picked up curbside same-day. Most municipal programs restrict mattresses from regular trash — we take them with no questions asked.
Couch Removal
View →$99first item · +$28 each more
Sectionals, recliners, loveseats, sleeper sofas. No disassembly needed — leave it at the curb. Flat-rate pricing, picked up the same day you book.
Furniture Removal

Desks, dressers, tables, bookshelves, bed frames, entertainment centers. One item or a full room clearout. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Appliance Recycling
View →$134first item · +$84 each more
Appliance recycling in Durham starts at $104 with Dropcurb, book online in about 60 seconds, set the unit curbside, and get same-day pickup without an in-home estimate. Durham has steady appliance-recycling demand from turnover near Duke and older homes in neighborhoods like Trinity Park and Old West Durham where replacement fridges, washers, and ranges are common during remodels and move-outs. City of Durham rules add friction, Durham states it is unlawful to place target recyclables in garbage, and its Waste Disposal & Recycling Center accepts white goods, which means residents still need a legal appliance-recycling path instead of leaving units at the curb with regular trash. Dropcurb closes that gap with upfront pricing, no appointment window, no haggling, and photo confirmation after removal. For local market context, LoadUp advertises refrigerator disposal in Durham starting at $87 and stove disposal starting at $89, but final totals vary by item mix and service fees, while Dropcurb appliance recycling starts at a clear $104 with transparent per-item add-ons.
TV Removal
View →$99first item · +$39 each more
TV removal in Durham starts at $99 with Dropcurb, all-in, and you can book online in about 60 seconds for same-day curbside pickup. Durham households in Trinity Park, Old West Durham, and Southpoint often need TV removal when replacing wall-mounted sets before a move-out or furniture delivery. North Carolina law bans televisions from landfill disposal, so TV removal in Durham is not just a convenience task, it is a compliance task. The City of Durham also says residents should use electronics recycling channels and notes the Waste Disposal and Recycling Center at 2115 E Club Blvd accepts e-waste from residential users at no charge, which is useful if you have time to self-haul. Dropcurb is built for the faster path: TV removal with no phone calls, no appointment window, and no one entering your home. If you compare options, LoadUp advertises Durham TV disposal starting at $82, but still routes jobs through contractor scheduling. Dropcurb keeps TV removal pricing transparent at $99 with guaranteed same-day curbside execution in Durham.
Construction Debris Removal
View →$109first item · +$59 each more
Construction-debris pickup in Durham starts at $109 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds, place bagged or stacked material at the curb, and get same-day service without an in-home estimate. In Durham, construction-debris demand spikes during Duke-area move turnover and older-home remodel cycles in Trinity Park, Old West Durham, and Forest Hills, where small bathroom and flooring projects leave drywall, tile, and lumber that need to disappear fast. The city's free bulky collection is built around up to three requested items per week and mechanical pickup, while Durham County's own disposal guidance points residents with construction and demolition debris to private C&D outlets, many in Raleigh or Apex, which means extra driving and unload time for homeowners. Dropcurb closes that local gap with a curbside-only construction-debris flow: upfront pricing, no appointment window, and photo confirmation when the pile is gone. For competitor context, LoadUp's Durham building-material removal pages advertise pricing starting at $115, while Dropcurb starts at $109 for curb-ready small-load jobs that fit same-day pickup.
E-Waste Disposal
View →$99first item · +$39 each more
TVs, monitors, computers, printers, and other electronics. Most curbside programs reject e-waste — we pick it up and ensure proper disposal.
Exercise Equipment Removal
View →$159first item · +$85 each more
Treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches, stationary bikes, home gyms. Heavy and awkward to move — get it to the curb and we handle the rest.
Bulk Junk Removal
View →$79first item · +$29 each more
Multiple items in one pickup. Garage cleanouts, move-out piles, post-renovation debris. Add items to your order and see the total price upfront.
