First item from $79 · Additional items from $19 each

Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Your old appliances

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.

Pittsburgh's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

Pittsburgh's Environmental Services divides the city into Northern and Southern collection zones with specific pickup days per block. Residents request bulk pickup through 311 and must set items out after 6 PM the night before collection. PGH.ST helps residents look up their exact collection day by address. The city does not accept appliances, covered electronic devices (TVs, computers), tires, or construction materials at curbside — those require separate disposal. Seneca Landfill in Harmony charges approximately $65/ton with minimums varying by vehicle size. Average junk removal costs $223–$234 in Pittsburgh (Homeyou data) or $236–$259 in Allegheny County (Manta). Two Men and a Junk Truck (412-501-9578) offers same-day service locally. Junk King Pittsburgh provides free estimates with dumpster rental options. LoadUp starts at $79 per single bulky item with online booking.
