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.
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.

Altoona publishes no curbside bulk item program for furniture, and the IRC recycling facility is a drop-off for recyclables and compost rather than household bulky waste.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal furniture rate is published, so confirm the current route and any charge with the Intermunicipal Relations Committee or the collection provider before setting furniture out.
When & how
Call the Intermunicipal Relations Committee at 814-942-7472, or the collection provider on the address's account, before placing furniture at the curb.
Get it ready
Trash has to be in containers with lidded bins and may go to the curb no earlier than 6pm the evening before collection, so a loose pile of furniture is not the published curbside method. Keep furniture out of the recycling bin.
Trash has to be in containers with lids and is collected weekly, and residents may move it to the curb no earlier than 6:00pm the evening before collection. Recycling goes in a separate container and stays dry, and larger items are handled through a confirmed route rather than left loose at 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 Altoona and the Intermunicipal Relations Committee
Collection provider route for large items
A residence that must have garbage collection and needs a large item that neither the city nor the IRC facility publishes as an accepted drop-off.
Cost & conditions
No municipal large item rate is published, so confirm the route and any charge with the collection provider on the account or with the Intermunicipal Relations Committee.
Arrange it
Call the provider or the Intermunicipal Relations Committee at 814-942-7472 before the item is set out.
Mattresses, tires and construction material are refused at the IRC facility, so those items need a confirmed destination instead of a trip to Buckhorn.
Altoona residents haul recyclable material to the IRC facility on Blacksnake Road in Dysart, where televisions, computers and metal appliances are free, Freon containing appliances carry a per item fee, and paint, lumber, mattresses and tires are refused. Yard material can also be dropped there, and the curbside recycling collection includes yard waste for the municipalities the IRC serves.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Altoona.
How much does furniture removal cost in Altoona?+
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 Altoona?+
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.
Does Altoona collect furniture at the curb?+
The City requires every residence to have garbage and recyclable collection and publishes a container rule rather than a bulky item program, so loose furniture is not a published curbside service. Call the Intermunicipal Relations Committee at 814-942-7472 or the collection provider to confirm the current route and any charge before setting furniture out.Official guidance
What does the Altoona recycling facility refuse?+
The IRC recycling and compost facility does not accept paint, lumber, mattresses or tires, and it also refuses vacuum cleaners, shop vacs, plastic house fans and mostly plastic electronics. Those items need a confirmed route with the collection provider or the Intermunicipal Relations Committee before they are set out or loaded.Official guidance
