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.
Count the furniture you want removed and empty drawers, shelves and cabinets. Add any other items to the booking instead of leaving an unlisted pile beside the furniture.

Akron takes furniture that will not fit in the cart on the normal weekly collection day, with no appointment. The city names couches, dressers, bookcases, doors and windows among the large items it picks up.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no separate fee for a large item set out on the normal collection day, and no appointment is required. The only charge printed on the city page is the one-time fee for an additional cart. Confirm anything unusual with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
When & how
Set the furniture out on your normal weekly collection day, three feet apart from the city cart, and have it at the curb by 4:30 a.m. A large volume of material rather than a single item is a separate Special Bulk Volume pickup that has to be arranged in advance.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the trash and recycling carts, break long pieces down where you can, and tie carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing into bundles. Keep hazardous waste, construction and demolition material, concrete, drywall and roofing out of the pile, because none of it may go in a city cart.
Akron picks up furniture, dressers, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles such as carpet, wood, brush, branches and fencing on the normal weekly collection day, with no appointment. Put the items at the curb by 4:30 a.m., at least three feet apart from the city cart and from anything else, and keep them out of the street and off the sidewalk.
A large amount of bags, boxes or trash after cleaning out a house, basement or garage, or after moving out, needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup. Each home is allowed three a year, the pickup has to be scheduled at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 or 330-375-2311, and nothing should go to the curb before 4:30 p.m. the day before.
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 Akron Public Works Bureau with ReWorks, the Summit County solid waste authority
Weekly curbside large item collection
Furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles of carpet, wood, brush, branches or fencing from a one, two or three family home in Akron.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for large items set out on the normal collection day, and no appointment is needed. Confirm anything unusual with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the household's normal weekly collection day, at the curb by 4:30 a.m. and at least three feet from the city cart, which has to be out too because the city empties only its own carts.
Hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall and demolition or construction material are not permitted in the carts and are not part of this route. A large volume of bags or boxes rather than individual items needs a Special Bulk Volume pickup.

Special Bulk Volume pickup
A household clearing out a house, basement, garage or apartment with a large amount of bags, boxes or trash that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no separate fee for a Special Bulk Volume pickup and allows three per home each year. Confirm the volume and timing with the 3-1-1 Call Center at 330-375-2311.
Arrange it
Schedule at least one working day before the collection day through 3-1-1 from a landline or 330-375-2311 from a cell phone, then put the material at the curb no earlier than 4:30 p.m. the day before the pickup.
Three pickups per home per year, and the material still cannot include hazardous waste, roofing material, concrete, plaster, dirt, sand, gravel, bricks, drywall or demolition and construction debris.
Most of Akron's bulky material never leaves the neighbourhood: furniture, mattresses, couches, televisions, bookcases, doors, bicycles, windows and tied bundles go out on the normal weekly collection day three feet from the city cart, and a whole cleanout uses one of three Special Bulk Volume pickups a year booked a working day ahead. What has to be hauled is the material the city and ReWorks both refuse at the curb: household chemicals, which go to the seasonal ReWorks collection at 1201 Graham Road in Stow on Thursdays during its season, and scrap tires, which ReWorks says have no free disposal option and which go to a tire vendor. Electronics are refused at the hazardous waste collection and move through a ReWorks Recycling Days event or a private recycler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Akron.
How much does furniture removal cost in Akron?+
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 Akron?+
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.
Do I need an appointment to put a couch out in Akron?+
No. The city states that couches, dressers, bookcases, doors, windows, bicycles and other large items are picked up on a weekly basis when they are set out on the normal collection day, three feet apart from the city cart. An appointment is only needed for a Special Bulk Volume pickup, which covers a large amount of bags, boxes or trash.Official guidance
