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.
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.
Count the furniture you want removed and empty drawers, shelves and cabinets. Add any other items to the booking instead of leaving an unlisted pile beside the furniture.
2
Arrange the move outside.
You handle indoor carrying and any disassembly needed to get the furniture through your home. Plan for doorways, interior stairs and building access before pickup day.
3
Show exactly what goes.
Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear route to the furniture. Add a location photo and access notes. Keep the pickup items separate from furniture and belongings that are staying.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A couch, a chair, a lamp, a table and a dresser are the examples the city gives for its free large item pickup, so ordinary household furniture is the core of the program. A piece that is still usable can go to ReStore instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Erie residential refuse customers with the pickup scheduled in advance, up to three items through the online form. The pickup is free, and the limit is regular household furniture rather than a whole house cleanout.
When & how
Book the pickup on 814-870-1550 or through the online form, then set the furniture curbside on the night of the scheduled collection with the confirmation number in hand.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers and remove the cushions and loose parts, keep the piece clear of parked vehicles, and remember that nothing is to be out more than 24 hours before the collection day under the city code. A piece in good condition can be donated to ReStore at 4922 Pittsburgh Ave. rather than scheduled for the curb.
A large item is collected only when the resident schedules it on 814-870-1550 on a weekday between 08:30am and 04:30pm or through the online form for up to three items, and only after the six digit confirmation number arrives. The item goes curbside on the night of the scheduled collection, and setting anything out without a confirmation number or at another time is treated as illegal dumping and draws a citation.
The 24 hour curb window and clearance from vehicles
Regular refuse goes out in bags or cans, and nothing may be placed at the curb more than 24 hours before the collection day under the city code. Keep the pile away from parked vehicles and leave the collection crew enough room to work, because a blocked item is not collected and the city does not treat a missed pile as its own problem.
Carpet in four foot rolls, glass in a labelled box
Carpet has to be cut into four foot sections, rolled and taped or tied, with no more than four rolls out at a time, and small pieces can be bagged for the regular refuse day after an installer removes them. Glass must be taken out of whatever item it was part of, placed in a box labelled GLASS, and any residue left on the ground in front of the home is the resident's to clean up.
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.

Reuse outlet for working appliances and building material
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
4922 Pittsburgh Ave., Erie, PA
Working washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves and microwaves for reuse, and reusable building material such as cabinets, windows, doors, paint, trim, hardware, plumbing and flooring.
A donation outlet rather than a disposal site, so the store decides what it can resell and the city page asks residents to call for hours and the materials accepted that day. Nothing that the city refuses as hazardous waste or construction debris becomes acceptable here just by being dropped off.
Not published on the city page; call 814-464-8946 for current hours and accepted material.
No charge. Donations of reusable material are accepted at no stated charge, and the store's own terms govern what it takes. A working appliance is the intended donation rather than a broken one.
Selected customer reviews. Counts checked September 2026.
Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Erie.
How much does furniture removal cost in Erie?+
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 Erie?+
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.
How is carpet handled with a furniture pickup?+
Carpet has to be cut into four foot sections, rolled and taped or tied, with no more than four rolls out at a time. The city's recycling page adds that the installer can remove it and that small pieces can be bagged and placed curbside on the regular refuse day, so either route works depending on how much there is.Official guidance
Who collects refuse in Erie?+
The City of Erie collects residential refuse itself, with household waste required in bags or cans at the curb no more than 24 hours before the collection day, and it runs a free large item pickup for its own refuse customers. City Hall answers on (814) 870-1234 and the Bureau of Refuse schedules pickups on 814-870-1550.Official guidance
