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.

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.

A couch, dresser or large chair is a bulk item in Utica, collected once a week off the curb with the blue bag garbage, or self-hauled to EcoDrop Utica for the published per-item rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $5 per bulky item accepted at EcoDrop Utica, such as a chair, sofa or table. The first bulky item each week is collected curbside as part of the city service at no separate charge, and additional pieces go to the drop-off at the published resident rate, with a $10 penalty on an untarped load.
When & how
Set the furniture out between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. on the night before your collection day, or use EcoDrop Utica during its weekday and Saturday hours.
Get it ready
Put the piece at the curb with the blue bag garbage, keep a rug or carpet rolled and tied under 6 feet, and remember the one-bulky-item-a-week rule, which means a whole room of furniture takes several weeks or a trip to the drop-off.
Set out only between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. the night before
Garbage and recyclables are collected once a week, and the city makes set-out legal only between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. on the night before the collection day. Putting items out at any other time is against local law and can draw a violation notice, and containers come back off the curb after collection.
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.
City of Utica blue bag collection and the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority
Use the blue bag collection and the weekly bulky item
A Utica household with bagged rubbish plus one large item such as a couch, a mattress, an appliance or a television.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The weekly bulky item, the two-tire allowance and the green waste containers are part of the city collection rather than priced extras. Only the rubbish itself carries a cost, because it has to be in City of Utica blue bags bought at stores around the city, and the printed brochure prices a large bag at $1.95 and a small bag at $1.35.
Arrange it
Set everything out between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. on the night before your collection day and pull the containers back afterwards. Call 315-731-0238 to confirm the collection night, or the city public works department on 315-738-1341 about green waste collection.
One bulk item per building per week, one cubic yard of rubbish for a single family, two car tires a week with no truck tires, and no 55-gallon drums, pianos, safes, propane tanks or oil tanks at any time.
A household with furniture, electronics, household goods or sporting equipment that is still usable and would rather see it reused than landfilled.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The Authority's reuse list is a set of donation outlets rather than a paid service, and the Authority notes that some of the organisations will arrange to pick donated items up. Each outlet sets its own terms, so confirm acceptance directly.
Arrange it
Open the Authority's reuse list, pick the organisation that takes your kind of item, and call it to confirm what it accepts and whether it collects.
These are independent thrift, charity and second-hand stores, not Authority facilities, and each one sets its own condition standards and hours. Nothing on the list takes an item that no longer works.
The self-haul route for a Utica address is the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority, and the relevant gate is EcoDrop Utica at 824 Sewage Plant Road, open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Recyclables, electronics, household white goods such as a stove, washer or dryer, auto batteries, empty propane cylinders, used motor oil and antifreeze, and bagged green waste carry no charge, while a bulky item such as a sofa, chair or table is charged per item, a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that still holds refrigerant is charged per item, tires are charged per tire with more added for a rim, and garbage and construction debris are charged by weight from a flat minimum load charge upward. The rates are resident rates, businesses are directed to the Authority office, and an untarped load draws a penalty, so a load should be tarped and sorted before the trip.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Utica.
How much does furniture removal cost in Utica?+
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 Utica?+
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 Utica pick up a couch at the curb?+
Yes, as the bulky item the city allows each week per building. It goes out between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. on the night before your collection day alongside the blue bag garbage, and a second large piece in the same week has to wait or be taken to EcoDrop Utica, which charges the published resident rate per bulky item.Official guidance
How does a Utica household find its collection night?+
Call 315-731-0238 for the night of collection, then set the bags, the recycling container and the one bulky item out between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. the night before. Garbage and recyclables run once a week, containers come back off the curb afterwards, and green waste questions go to the city public works department on 315-738-1341.Official guidance
Can a usable couch or appliance be donated instead?+
The Authority publishes a reuse list of organisations across Oneida and Herkimer Counties that take donated clothing, books, electronics, furniture, household items and crafting supplies, and it notes that some of them will arrange to pick donations up. Each outlet sets its own rules, so call before loading, and the nearest Utica entries are on Washington Street and Court Street.Official guidance
