Mattress Removal

$99first item · +$30 each more

Any size mattress or box spring picked up curbside same-day. Most municipal programs restrict mattresses from regular trash — we take them with no questions asked.

Couch Removal

View →
$99first item · +$28 each more

Couch removal in Columbus, OH starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds, leave the couch at the curb, and skip in-home estimate appointments. Columbus residents replacing living room furniture in Short North, German Village, or Clintonville often need couch removal on a tight timeline, especially during OSU move-in and move-out season when bulky-item demand spikes across the city. The City of Columbus requires bulk collection to be scheduled through 311, and no bulk items are collected without that reservation, so a missed slot can leave an old sofa sitting out for days while you wait 7-14 days for city pickup. Dropcurb closes that gap with same-day couch removal in Columbus when available, transparent checkout pricing, and no home entry. Competitor pages in Columbus often push quote-first or on-site workflows, while LoadUp advertises couch removal starting at $75 and Two Men and a Junk Truck lists sofa removal at $174. If you want couch removal in Columbus without calls, haggling, or long wait windows, set it curbside, book, and get photo-confirmed pickup.

Furniture Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

Furniture removal in Columbus starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds, leave everything at the curb, and skip the usual in-home estimate process. In Columbus, furniture removal demand spikes around OSU move-in and move-out cycles, plus end-of-month apartment turnover in neighborhoods like Short North and German Village, where people need old couches, dressers, and bed frames gone quickly. Columbus city rules require residents to schedule Bulk Collection through 311 (or call 614-645-3111), and no bulk items are collected without that reservation, which creates a gap when you need furniture removal before the city window opens. Instead of loading a truck for a SWACO trip or waiting for a municipal slot, Dropcurb handles curbside furniture removal same-day in most cases. Competitors are typically priced higher or less direct, LoadUp advertises furniture pickup starting at $89 in Columbus, and TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK lists many common furniture items at $149. Dropcurb keeps it simple, furniture removal from $79, no appointment window, no home entry, and clear pricing before you pay.

Appliance Recycling

View →
$134first item · +$84 each more

Appliance recycling in Columbus starts at $104 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds, leave the item curbside, and skip waiting at home for a quote. Appliance recycling demand spikes in Columbus during OSU move-out windows in May and August, plus year-round turnover in neighborhoods like Clintonville, German Village, and Short North where older kitchens and laundry rooms get upgraded often. The city's bulk system is free, but Columbus requires 311 scheduling and typically runs a 7 to 14 day wait, which is tough when a new fridge is being delivered tomorrow. If you self-haul, SWACO's Franklin County landfill starts at a $5 minimum and requires your own truck, loading, and a disposal run on facility hours. Dropcurb closes that gap with same-day appliance recycling for refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and stoves, including certified refrigerant handling for Freon units. Many local competitor pages push call-first or on-site estimate workflows, and Fire Dawgs markets a $99 deal while still using volume-based final pricing. Dropcurb keeps appliance recycling straightforward with upfront checkout pricing and curbside pickup across Columbus.

TV Removal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

TV removal in Columbus starts at $99 with Dropcurb, including e-waste handling, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting for an in-home estimate. Columbus households in Short North, German Village, and Clintonville often need TV removal fast during move-outs, remodels, and game-day upgrades, but city bulk collection still requires a 311 reservation and usually a 7-14 day wait. That delay creates a real gap when a dead screen is blocking a hallway or garage and new equipment is arriving this week. SWACO's Recycling Convenience Center also posts TV recycling fees by type, including $15 for LCD TV monitors and $25 to $45 for CRT units, so self-haul TV removal can still mean extra driving, unloading, and disposal costs. Dropcurb closes that gap with same-day curbside TV removal in Columbus, no home entry, and transparent checkout pricing before you pay. Competitor pages in this market are still estimate-first or materially higher priced, and Two Men and a Junk Truck advertises $149 including a television, while Dropcurb starts at $99. If you want straightforward TV removal in Columbus, set it at the curb, book online, and get photo-confirmed pickup.

Construction Debris Removal

View →
$109first item · +$59 each more

Construction debris removal in Columbus starts at $109 with Dropcurb for a first heavy construction debris pickup, and additional heavy construction debris items are +$59. Columbus homeowners doing kitchen and bath updates in German Village, Clintonville, and the OSU campus rental belt often need construction debris gone the same day, not after a city queue. Columbus bulk collection requires scheduling through 311 or (614) 645-3111, no items are collected without a reservation, and wait times commonly run 7-14 days, which is too slow when a project closeout or inspection deadline is this week. Dropcurb fills that gap with same-day curbside construction debris pickup, instant checkout pricing, and no in-home appointment window. If you need larger-volume disposal planning, Ohio EPA publishes a continuously updated directory of licensed C&DD landfills that can be filtered by county. Competitor pages still lean estimate-first in Columbus: Fire Dawgs promotes in-person final pricing, while LoadUp advertises construction debris pickup starting at $55 and notes final totals vary by material and volume. For fast, compliant construction debris removal in Columbus, Dropcurb gives upfront pricing and photo-confirmed pickup.

Columbus's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

Columbus requires scheduling all bulk collection through 311 or (614) 645-3111 — no items collected without a reservation, and waits run 7-14 days. SWACO manages Franklin County waste — the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill charges a $5 minimum for residential loads, with tipping fees prorated for loads under 1 ton. Landfill hours: Mon-Fri 5 AM-5 PM, Sat 6 AM-noon. OSU campus area generates huge seasonal demand during move-in/move-out periods (August and May). Average Columbus junk removal: $228-$239 (Homeyou). Fire Dawgs Junk Removal: $99+ with eco-friendly donation focus. Two Men and a Junk Truck: $99+ with same-day availability. Junk King Columbus: volume-based pricing with free estimates.
