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 furniture goes outside. We take it from there.

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.

Elyria picks up bulk or large items on the regular collection route, and the city defines them as large residential items that cannot fit in a city cart.
City cost & eligibility
Bulk items ride the regular collection and no per-item price is published, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile. Confirm the pile with the Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895.
When & how
Set the items out curbside with your regular collection, following the same after-5 p.m. and before-7 a.m. window as the carts.
Get it ready
Disassemble items as much as you can, remove every screw and nail, keep boxes and bags contained and under 50 pounds, cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than 4 feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic before it goes out.
Furniture is named in the city's bulk list and goes out with the regular collection. The county Collection Center refuses furniture of any kind, so the curbside route is the local answer.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture price is published; the piece rides the regular collection unless the city decides a large pile warrants an extra charge, so confirm the load on 440-322-3895. The county center charges nothing because it does not take furniture at all.
When & how
Put the piece out with the regular collection in the same curb-lawn window as the carts, after 5 p.m. the day before and before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Get it ready
Take out screws and nails, tie or tape any loose parts together, remove lift-out drawers and cushions where you can, and keep the piece off the street and clear of the carts so the driver can reach it.
Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out every screw and nail, and keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds. Cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than four feet, wrap a mattress in plastic, and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer. Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags the unit.
The carts and the bulk pile share one set-out window
Refuse may go on the curb lawn no sooner than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, because routes start at 7 a.m. and a late set-out may wait a week. Keep three feet of clearance around each cart, take the carts back off the tree lawn the same day, and put a bulk pile out with the same timing as the carts.
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.

Set bulk items out with your regular collection
An Elyria household with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other large item that will not fit in the city cart.
Cost & conditions
Bulk items ride the regular collection with no published per-item price, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile, so confirm the pile on 440-322-3895.
Arrange it
Put the prepared items on the curb lawn with the carts, after 5 p.m. the day before collection and before 7 a.m. on collection day.
Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags it, mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, and a load of construction or demolition debris is not part of the program.
Self-hauling in Elyria means two places. The Lorain County Collection Center at 540 South Abbe Road takes electronic scrap, household hazardous waste from residences, fluorescent bulbs and ballasts, tires up to a 20-inch rim, paper for shredding and extra recyclables, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with photo identification, and the county asks large loads to be booked on 440-329-5440. Everything else that is too big for a cart belongs on the city route: bulk items go out with the regular collection after they are disassembled, stripped of screws and nails, and prepared the way the city asks, with mattresses wrapped in plastic, carpet cut and tied, and no appliance that still holds refrigerant. Construction and demolition debris has no local route, because the city publishes none and the county refuses that material outright. Yard waste goes to the Barnes Materials compost facility at 45 Chestnut Street, which is free for Elyria residents.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elyria.
How much does furniture removal cost in Elyria?+
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 Elyria?+
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.
What are the bulk item rules in Elyria?+
Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out all screws and nails, keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds, cut and tie carpet into bundles no longer than four feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic. Everything goes to the curb with your regular collection, and a large pile may carry an extra charge.Official guidance
Will Elyria take a couch from the curb?+
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's bulk item list and goes out with the regular collection, so no appointment is needed. Remove screws and nails, and remember that the county Collection Center will not accept furniture of any kind, so the curb is the local route.Official guidance
Who do I call with a sanitation question in Elyria?+
The Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895 or sanitation@cityofelyria.org for carts, bulk items and collection questions, and the Lorain County Solid Waste District on 440-329-5440 for the Collection Center, including drop-off terms and appointments for a large load.Official guidance
