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.

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.

Charleston collects bulk items, including white goods, on the regularly scheduled trash collection day rather than through a separate appointment, and the city asks for a call to Environmental Services before an entire household of items goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk items and white goods are part of the city's regularly scheduled residential collection and the city publishes no per-item fee for them. Material that the city will not take carries a county charge at the landfill scale instead.
When & how
On the regularly scheduled trash collection day, at the date and time the Environmental Services Division assigns.
Get it ready
Remove the doors and drawers from anything that has them, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed. Keep bulk items in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement, bag smaller household items such as dishes and clothing, and call 724-7364 before placing an entire household of items curbside.
Junk, furniture and other bulk items go out in their own pile at the curb on the collection day, which is how the city describes the bulk stream alongside white goods. Smaller household items such as dishes and clothing belong in a bag rather than in the pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture and junk are collected as bulk on the regular residential route and the city publishes no per-item fee; the county sets its own scale charges for material that goes to the landfill.
When & how
In the bulk pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the regularly scheduled trash collection day.
Get it ready
Build one pile, keep it clear of water meters, fire hydrants and sprinkler heads, and bag the small household items instead of mixing them into the pile. Remove the doors and drawers from any piece that has them, because the city will not take white goods that still have theirs.
Doors and drawers come off before a bulk item goes out
Bulk items and white goods go out in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the collection day, not mixed with bagged garbage. Doors and drawers have to be removed where they apply, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed, and the city asks for a call to 724-7364 before an entire household of items is placed out.
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.
City of Charleston Department of Public Service, Environmental Services Division
Bulk and white goods on the scheduled trash day
A household with a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator, a water heater or another large piece that the garbage cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk items and white goods are part of the city's regularly scheduled residential collection and the city publishes no per-item fee for them. The city does publish charges for an extra garbage cart.
Arrange it
Set the bulk items in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, with doors and drawers removed, and call 724-7364 before an entire household of items goes out.
One collection day a week, no doors or drawers left on white goods, and refused material such as tires, paint, batteries, concrete, carpet and construction or renovation debris has to go to a county site.
Most self-haul loads from Charleston go to a Charleston County convenience center, where staffed sites take, from county residents, household garbage, recyclables, household computers, monitors, printers and televisions, paint, batteries, light bulbs, motor oil and cooking oil, scrap metal and appliances such as refrigerators, up to four tires with rims removed, construction and demolition debris with furniture, carpet, mattresses, sheetrock and wood under four feet, and household hazardous material, with used gasoline only at the Bees Ferry center. The county's own zone rules refuse bricks, cement, stucco, shingles, tires inside the construction zone, boats, cars and hazardous waste there, and the Signal Point Road site is not full service. Behind the centers is the Bees Ferry Road Landfill at the same address, where the scale charges municipal solid waste by the ton and tires by the ton and refuses construction and demolition waste from private or commercial haulers, and yard waste goes to the compost facility next door. The city route stays the cheaper option for a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator or a pile of household junk, because those ride the regular trash collection day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Charleston.
How much does furniture removal cost in Charleston?+
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 Charleston?+
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.
Does Charleston pick up bulk items on a special day?+
No. The city collects bulk items, including white goods, on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, at the date and time the Environmental Services Division assigns. Doors and drawers have to be removed where they apply, the pile goes at the curb or the edge of the pavement, and the city asks for a call to 724-7364 before an entire household of items is placed out.Official guidance
Where do I put a couch out in Charleston?+
Junk, furniture and other bulk items go in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on your regularly scheduled trash collection day, with smaller household items bagged rather than mixed in. Keep the pile clear of water meters, fire hydrants and sprinkler heads, and remove doors and drawers from anything that has them.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and trash in Charleston?+
The City of Charleston Environmental Services Division runs curbside garbage once a week, trash and yard waste once a week on a separate pile, and the bulk and white goods stream on the regularly scheduled trash collection day. The county does not collect garbage at all: it runs the landfill, the convenience centers and the hazardous waste programme. City service questions go to Citizen Services at 843-724-7311, and bulk scheduling questions go to 724-7364.Official guidance
What will Charleston not take at the curb?+
Hazardous waste such as paint, auto fluids, batteries and pool chemicals, along with concrete, dirt, sod, sand, plaster, carpet, construction and renovation debris, tires and hot ashes, are not single-family curbside waste. Electronics are refused as well, and paint cans are accepted only when the paint is completely dry inside the can. Those items go to a staffed Charleston County convenience center instead.Official guidance
How is yard waste set out in Charleston?+
Leaves, twigs, weeds and grass clippings go in brown paper bags that the resident provides, and tree limbs and stumps are cut to four foot lengths and four inch diameter and stacked clear of obstructions. Trash may go out no earlier than two days before the scheduled pickup, household garbage may not be mixed into a yard waste pile, and a landscaper's debris stays the landscaper's responsibility.Official guidance
