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.

The furniture goes outside. We take it from there.
Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from an accessible outdoor spot. A little preparation makes it clear which pieces are going and how to reach them.
Book before moving items outside, then follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Contact us before booking if your building only allows a short pickup window; the booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

A couch, cabinet, door, screen or bathroom fixture is bulky trash and goes out on the weekly bulk day for your zone, with carpet taken the same way once it is cut down to width.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture and carpet are bulky trash in the city's own collection service, and the handbook publishes no fee or sticker for them.
When & how
Place the piece at the curb on the bulk day for your zone, which is Thursday in the north zone, Friday in the central zone and Saturday in the south zone.
Get it ready
Cut rolled carpet to 4 feet wide so the crew can handle it, keep the piece off the sidewalk and clear of the garbage, and count each item against the three item limit for that week.
East Orange is split into a north, central and south zone. Garbage runs twice a week in every zone, recycling runs every other week on the zone day, and bulky trash rides a separate truck on the zone's own day, which is Thursday in the north, Friday in the central zone and Saturday in the south.
The bulk truck takes three items per week. More than three cannot be put at the curb, so spread a larger clear-out across more than one bulk day or book the pieces that need an appointment.
Garbage, bulky trash and recyclables may not be placed at the curb before 6 p.m. the night before the collection day, and bulky trash has to be kept separate from the garbage rather than mixed into the cans.
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.

Use the weekly bulky trash truck
An East Orange household with up to three pieces of furniture, a mattress and box spring, doors, screens, bathroom fixtures or rolled carpet to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulky trash is part of the city's own collection service and the 2026 handbook publishes no fee, sticker or bag charge for it.
Arrange it
Set the pieces at the curb on your zone's bulk day, not before 6 p.m. the night before, with mattresses and box springs sealed in clear plastic and carpet cut to 4 feet wide.
Three items per bulk day is the ceiling, more than three cannot go out, and the truck does not take appliances, metals, tires, televisions, electronics or hazardous material because those are appointment or county items.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in East Orange.
How much does furniture removal cost in East Orange?+
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 East Orange?+
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 the city take my couch or my carpet in East Orange?+
Yes, as bulky trash on your zone's weekly bulk day. The handbook lists furniture such as couches and cabinets, doors, screens, bathroom fixtures and rolls of carpet among the bulky items, with a limit of three items at a time. Carpet has to be cut to 4 feet wide before it goes out.Official guidance
