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.
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.

Large items that will not fit the refuse cart go out on the regularly scheduled collection day, with no appointment mentioned, and the list is written as including but not limited to the named examples.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item bulk collection charge, so confirm the load and any fee with the Division of Refuse and Recycling at (216) 252-4322.
When & how
On the regularly scheduled collection day, alongside the refuse and recycling set out.
Get it ready
Wrap and seal upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs and carpet rolls in plastic, because those are the items the rules single out. Tape or tie carpet into 4 foot rolls, break the glass out of a window and contain it separately, dismantle a basketball hoop, and keep contractor-generated material off the curb, because contractors are responsible for their own debris.
Furniture is named on the bulk list, and the rules require upholstered furniture, including leather, to be wrapped and sealed in plastic before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture collection charge is published, so confirm the piece and any fee with the Division of Refuse and Recycling at (216) 252-4322.
When & how
On the regularly scheduled collection day as part of the bulk set out.
Get it ready
Wrap and seal the piece in plastic, including leather upholstery, and keep it clear of the collection path so the automated cart arm can reach the carts. A clean and usable piece can also go to the drop-off facility, which accepts clean and usable clothing rather than furniture.
Wrap the upholstered items before they go to the curb
The rules require upholstered furniture including leather, mattresses, box springs and carpet rolls to be wrapped and sealed in plastic. Carpet is taped or tied into 4 foot rolls, a window has its glass broken out and contained separately, a basketball hoop is dismantled, and dirt, rocks and sod go out contained. King-size mattress bags are sold at the Drop-Off Facility and Recycling Center for three dollars each, paid by cash, credit or debit.
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.

Construction debris may go out on the normal collection day when it is cut, bundled and contained to the published sizes, and the city follows the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District program at cuyahogarecycles.org for the items its own facility will not take.

A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakewood.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lakewood?+
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 Lakewood?+
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.
