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.

Furniture is a scheduled large item rather than something that rides with the ordinary bags. York lets a household book up to five furniture pieces, appliances or other approved bulky items a week, year-round, at no additional fee, as long as the pickup is arranged seven to ten days ahead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. York curbside customers with an active city refuse account, scheduling up to five household furniture items, appliances and other approved bulky items each week. The city states that large item collections are part of the regular curbside service with no additional fee to schedule.
When & how
Submit the large item request form, wait for the attendant's call and the email confirmation, and put the item out no earlier than 5 p.m. the night before and by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to furniture and other approved bulk, count each piece against the five item weekly allowance, and leave the excluded material out: televisions and computers, car parts, shingles, pool tables, rocks, dirt, trampolines, fencing, garage doors, propane tanks and anything in bags or boxes.
Nothing large goes out until the pickup is confirmed
Submitting the large item request form does not schedule anything. The large item attendant calls back within 48 hours to fix the date, an email confirmation follows, and the pickup itself is set seven to ten days out. Items then sit with the normal trash, no earlier than 5 p.m. the night before and by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day, and calling before 3 p.m. on a Wednesday is what gets the collection into the following week's schedule.
Two collection days a week, with 32 gallon and 40 pound limits
York collects household trash twice a week. Bags and containers go to the pickup point after 5 p.m. the night before and by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and the city may allow a 5 a.m. start in extreme heat or winter weather. Trash goes in securely tied bags or in plastic or metal cans with a lid and handles, nothing bigger than 32 gallons or heavier than 40 pounds, and indoor kitchen or bathroom cans are not part of the programme.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in York PA.
How much does furniture removal cost in York PA?+
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 York PA?+
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 does a couch leave a York address?+
As a scheduled large item. York allows up to five household furniture pieces a week at no additional fee, but the pickup has to be booked seven to ten days ahead through the Public Works request form, and the item goes out from 5 p.m. the night before the scheduled day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in York PA?+
ESC Waste Services holds the city's curbside contract from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030, and the city's Public Works department schedules large item collections on top of that service. The county is not a hauler: the York County Solid Waste Authority runs the disposal site and says plainly that it does not pick up garbage.Official guidance
How far ahead do I book a large item pickup?+
Seven to ten days. Submitting the request form does not schedule anything by itself, because the large item attendant calls back within 48 hours to fix the date and then emails a confirmation. Calling before 3 p.m. on a Wednesday is what gets the collection into the following week's schedule.Official guidance
What does the county drop-off cost?+
The York County Resource Recovery Center charges $85 per ton with a $20 minimum for loads up to 470 pounds, and a proportionate charge above that, while a load that is only tires runs at $200 per ton. Payment is cash, check or a credit card other than American Express, with a $3.50 service fee on card payments.Official guidance
