Furniture and carpeting are on the town's Special Pickup list, so a couch leaves through a scheduled collection rather than the weekly rubbish route. Furniture is also on the accepted list at the Homeowner Disposal Area, while the scheduled Clean-Up Days exclude large furniture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Hempstead sanitation customers in the communities the department serves, using the scheduled Special Pickup, for which the town publishes no fee.

Household garbage goes to the kerb before 5 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Cans may be no larger than 45 gallons, no can or bag may weigh more than 75 pounds, and cardboard boxes may not be used to hold refuse.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, carpeting and other bulky items leave through a Special Pickup arranged on 516-378-8484, not with the weekly rubbish. The department gives the specific disposal instructions and placement when the pickup is booked.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hempstead.
How much does couch removal cost in Hempstead?+
A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can you pick up my couch today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
How do I book a sectional for removal?+
Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.
Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.
Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?+
You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.
How do I get a couch picked up in the Town of Hempstead?+
Schedule a Special Pickup on 516-378-8484, because furniture is on the town's special pickup list rather than the weekly rubbish route.
