First item from $79 · Additional items from $19 each

Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Your old appliances

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.

New York City's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

DSNY bulk pickup is free but requires a 311 request and 5-10 business day wait. Mattresses must be sealed in a bag. CFC appliances (fridges, AC units) need a separate request. E-waste is banned from curbside trash — residents must find SAFE Disposal events or drop-off sites. Taskrabbit junk haulers start at $40/hour. 1-800-GOT-JUNK charges $150-$600+ across all five boroughs. LoadUp starts at $79/item.
