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 Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days and is being re-evaluated, and during the suspension bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No additional cost during the suspension for a city household putting bulk items out on its regularly scheduled garbage day. The programme itself is suspended rather than cancelled and is being re-evaluated, so confirm the current position with the department at 518-382-5144.
When & how
Put the items out on the regularly scheduled garbage day, because the separate bulk sticker collection is not running while the programme is suspended.
Get it ready
Keep the items to the bulk categories the city names, which are furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs, and keep them out of the recycling container. Keep construction and demolition material out entirely, because the city refuses it in the yard waste stream and publishes no collection route for it.
Furniture and chairs are named in the city's suspension notice as bulk items that may go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost.
City cost & eligibility

Put the items at the curb on the regular garbage day for the district and confirm the current suspension status on 518-382-5144 if needed.
The programme is suspended rather than cancelled and is being re-evaluated, and appliances are excluded from this allowance because they wait for the red calendar dates.
Self haul in Schenectady runs through the city collection and the county programme. The Bulk Waste Pickup Program is suspended after the March 20, 2026 Council vote, and during the suspension furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost, while appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators are collected only on the dates printed in red on the waste collection calendar. Yard waste goes out on the regular garbage day from April through November in 30 gallon brown paper bags, with no plastic bags or bins and no construction or demolition material. Single stream recycling takes paper, plastic, aluminium and glass in a container of 40 gallons or less with two stickers from City Hall Room 9. Household chemicals labelled flammable, toxic, corrosive or reactive go to the Schenectady County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program on (518) 388-4775 or recycling@schenectadycountyny.gov, which is for county residents, needs registration and requires a composting facility and Resident Recycling Center permit to register. The city publishes no electronics, television or construction collection and no drop-off for either, so those have to be confirmed with Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection at 518-382-5144, at 105 Jay Street Room 9.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Schenectady.
How much does furniture removal cost in Schenectady?+
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 Schenectady?+
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.
Is bulk pickup still suspended in Schenectady?+
The city's notice states that on March 20, 2026 the Council voted to suspend the Bulk Waste Pickup Program for 90 days, after which it would be re-evaluated and either reinstated or the suspension extended. During the suspension, residents may put bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out on their regular garbage day at no additional cost, and the department on 518-382-5144 can confirm whether the suspension has since been extended.Official guidance
Will Schenectady take a couch at the curb?+
Yes while the bulk programme is suspended. The city's March 2026 notice states that residents may place bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out for collection on their regularly scheduled garbage day at no additional cost, so a couch goes out with the regular collection rather than on a separate bulk sticker day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Schenectady?+
The city does, through the Department of General Services and its Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection office at 105 Jay Street Room 9 on 518-382-5144. Collection runs on a district schedule, so call that number to find out which of the five districts the address is in, and recycling runs as a single stream collection on the same route.Official guidance
What is happening with bulk waste collection in Schenectady?+
The Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days, after which the Council said it would be re-evaluated and either reinstated or the suspension extended. While it is suspended residents may put bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out on their regular garbage day at no additional cost, and appliances are unchanged because they are collected only on the red dates on the collection calendar.Official guidance
