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.

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.

Sofas, stuffed chairs and furniture are named as oversized items in the city's weekly program, so one piece goes out with the regular collection each week, and the county authority takes a single item under 200 pounds for a flat fee if you would rather haul it.
City cost & eligibility
The weekly oversized item is part of the quarterly residential collection rate, printed as $85.80 a quarter for 2025 with a senior discount for residents 65 and older, and the city publishes no separate fee for one piece. Hauling it to the county authority costs $15 for a single item under 200 pounds, or $100 a ton for a larger load. Confirm the current quarterly rate with the city at (717) 291-4744.
When & how
Set one oversized item out on the normal collection day, after 6 p.m. the evening before, and remember that setting it out limits that week to four trash containers. For a load the weekly program will not take, deliver it to a county authority facility during operating hours.
Get it ready
An oversized item may be no heavier than what two people can lift into a trash truck, so take the piece down if it is heavy. Keep it off the sidewalk in front of the property, and separate it from the bags so the crew can see it belongs to the oversized set-out.
One oversized item a week, four containers with it
The city's weekly program takes one oversized item per household, which covers sofas, stuffed chairs, furniture, mattress and box spring sets and a roll of carpet no wider than four feet. Setting one out limits that week to four trash containers, the item may be no heavier than what two people can lift into a truck, and everything goes out after 6 p.m. the evening before collection and comes back in by 8 p.m. the day of collection.
A load that cannot go curbside goes to a county authority facility, where open loads must be tarped, large items must be secured, and the facilities accept only credit or debit cards. Visitors must wear closed-toed sturdy shoes and a high-visibility vest, which can be bought at the scale house for a fee. A single item under 200 pounds is charged a flat fee, household trash is charged by weight with a minimum per visit, and construction and demolition material has its own rate and size limits.
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.

Lancaster residents can keep most bulky material at the curb: the weekly program takes one oversized item per household, which covers sofas, stuffed chairs, furniture, mattress sets and a carpet roll, as long as two people can lift it. White goods such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are the exception and need the city's monthly program with a tag bought at the Treasury Office.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lancaster.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lancaster?+
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 Lancaster?+
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 Lancaster take a sofa at the curb?+
Yes. The city's weekly program allows each residential unit one oversized item a week, and sofas and stuffed chairs are named as examples. Setting one out limits that week's set-out to four trash containers, and the item may be no heavier than what two people can lift. If it is heavier, take it to a county authority facility instead, where a single item under 200 pounds costs a flat fee.Official guidance
How much trash can go out each week in Lancaster?+
Up to six 32 gallon or 30 pound bags per household each week, tied or closed. Setting out the one oversized item the program allows limits that week to four trash containers instead. Containers go out after 6 p.m. the evening before collection and come back in by 8 p.m. the day of collection, and a 96 gallon curb cart from the city's hauler costs an additional $6 a month billed by the hauler.Official guidance
