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.
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.

Furniture too large for the container goes next to the blue trash container on the regular weekly bulk collection, with upholstered pieces wrapped in plastic.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because bulky material rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. The county collection centre refuses furniture of any kind, so the curb is the local route.
When & how
Place the furniture next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Wrap upholstered furniture completely in plastic before it goes out. Break down anything that comes apart, keep the load inside the bulky allowance of roughly five feet by five feet by five feet, and keep it out of the recycling bin, which refuses furniture.
Furniture and appliances too large for the container go next to the blue trash container on your regular collection day, and bulk material is collected every week rather than by appointment. Put it out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before, keep it inside a curbside allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet, and do not use large contractor bags because they are not collected.
Cut carpet and wood into four-foot lengths, roll or bundle them under 35 pounds each, and remove or hammer down nails and screws. Break boxes down to four feet or less and tie them, and never put items inside a box. Wrap mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture completely in plastic before they go to the curb.
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 Lorain collection through Republic Services, with the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District
City weekly curbside bulky collection
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, televisions and other oversized household items from a city address.
Cost & conditions
No charge. No separate per-item charge, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service billed on the city utility account. Extra trash in contractor bags is not collected, and anything past the curbside allowance has to be handled another way.
Arrange it
Set the load next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, so nothing has to be booked.
One bulky load of about five feet by five feet by five feet, or up to six 35-gallon bags at 35 pounds each. Mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture must be wrapped in plastic, Freon-bearing appliances must have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, and electronics, household hazardous waste, construction material, scrap metal, tires and yard waste do not belong in the pile.
Most bulky material in Lorain does not need a trip or an appointment: furniture, mattresses and appliances go next to the blue container on the regular weekly pickup, provided the mattress and upholstered pieces are wrapped in plastic and any Freon-bearing appliance has had the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician. Electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and passenger tires go to the Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria, open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and passenger tires are also free at the city's New Tire Site on East 28th Street on Tuesdays. The center refuses furniture, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment and yard waste, so project material and anything oversized goes to a private container or to the landfill the city names on Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lorain.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lorain?+
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 Lorain?+
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 Lorain pick up a couch at the curb?+
Yes. Furniture that is too large for the container goes next to the blue container on your regular weekly pickup day, and an upholstered piece has to be wrapped completely in plastic. Keep the load within the curbside bulky allowance, and do not bag extra trash in contractor bags, which are not collected.Official guidance
