The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Pittsburgh collects common refuse weekly and names selected furniture, larger household items, and small non-electronic appliances as curbside material. Electronics, Freon appliances, and construction debris need separate arrangements. Mattresses, couches, and exercise equipment should be confirmed with 311 because the current City list does not name them individually.

City cost & eligibility

When & how
Use the property's regular weekly refuse day after confirming an item that is not named on the City list.
Get it ready
Keep the item accessible and separate from electronics, Freon appliances, and construction material. Do not assume every oversized item qualifies as furniture.
Place confirmed eligible items at the curb from 6 p.m. the evening before through 6 a.m. on collection day. Remove containers by 10 p.m. after collection.
Keep televisions and other electronics, Freon appliances, and construction debris out of the curbside load. Confirm the separate destination before bringing those items outside.
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.
The item is named by the City, or 311 confirms it for the property's regular refuse route.
Cost & conditions

Construction debris can use a listed residential-access transfer station after confirmation, Freon appliances have a separate appliance drop-off, and electronics require a Noble appointment.
