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.

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.

A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Bulky furniture and do it yourself demolition material
Accepted with preparation
The convenience centers take bulky construction and demolition material from a resident's own project, collected separately from household trash in heavier duty brown compactors and disposed of at construction and demolition landfills. The county names mattresses, box springs, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces, doors, drywall, glass, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, sheetrock, tile, toilets and windows on the accepted list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee for a Knox County resident bringing their own bulky material from their own property, within one standard pickup load per household per day. Material from a business, a contractor or a commercial generator is not accepted at all, and a load above the daily limit is turned away.
When & how
Bring the load during center hours, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and expect the operators to inspect it before it goes into the bulky compactor.
Get it ready
Cut carpet into small pieces, bag insulation, plaster and tile for easier disposal, and wear gloves when handling glass, mirrors, sinks, toilets or windows because the centers are self service. Leave block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles at home, because those are refused as too heavy or too slow to unload, and leave greenwaste for a greenwaste facility. Pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties and anything from outside Knox County are also refused.
Couches, furniture and tables are named on the bulky material list that the convenience centers accept, so a household can self haul them within the daily load limit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee for a Knox County resident bringing the piece from their own property, within one standard pickup load per household per day. Furniture from a business, a rental property haul or a paid contractor job is not accepted.
When & how
Take the piece to a convenience center during posted hours, and expect the load to be inspected before it goes into the bulky compactor.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole where it can be handled safely, keep it out of the garbage compactor, and keep any glass, mirror or table top protected so nobody is cut, because the centers are self service and the county asks users to wear gloves for that kind of material.
Load the vehicle with one standard pickup load per household per day and bring proof of Knox County residency, because a load from outside the county is refused. Separate the material before arrival: household garbage, recyclables, scrap metal, the brown bulky compactor, electronics and the tire pile all have their own place, and the operators inspect loads and turn away anything that does not belong. The centers are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.
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.

Seven county convenience centers for household waste, bulky material, recycling, scrap metal, electronics and tires
Knox County Convenience Centers
Seven locations across Knox County, including 1950 West Governor John Sevier Highway, Knoxville, TN
Household garbage, bulky construction and demolition material including mattresses, box springs, couches, furniture, tables, carpet, doors, drywall, glass, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, sheetrock, tile, toilets and windows, comprehensive recycling, scrap metal including non refrigerant appliances, electronic areas at four centers, rechargeable batteries and up to the annual resident limit of tires in the tire pile.
The centers are for Knox County residents bringing their own residential waste and recycling, with one standard pickup load per household per day on non recyclable waste and unlimited recycling, and they refuse business, rental property and contractor loads, block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, shingles, railroad ties, greenwaste, pieces longer than five feet, out of county waste and any device that contained refrigerant. Four centers have the thrift store electronics area, which takes only gently used items in good working condition, and the accepted battery and electronics lists can change, so the posted sign governs.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays, with gates closing promptly and possible early closings for weather, outages or full containers.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Knoxville.
How much does furniture removal cost in Knoxville?+
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 Knoxville?+
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.
What bulky material will a Knox County center take?+
Box springs, mattresses, couches, furniture, tables, carpet pieces cut small, doors, drywall, sheetrock, glass pieces and sheets, insulation, mirrors, plaster, sinks, tile, toilets, windows and other non hazardous material, up to one standard pickup load per household per day from the resident's own property. Block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, shingles, railroad ties, greenwaste and pieces longer than five feet are refused, along with anything from a business, a contractor or outside Knox County.Official guidance
How much can I bring to a center in one day?+
One standard pickup load per household per day for non recyclable waste, and the county states that heaping loads and very large trailers will be turned away. Recycling is not limited, so a household may drop off as much recycling as it wishes. If a load is larger than the daily limit, the county directs the household to dispose of it the way a commercial generator does, which means a fee charging facility.Official guidance
Where do I take a couch in Knoxville?+
To one of the seven Knox County convenience centers, where couches, furniture and tables are on the bulky material list and there is no fee for a resident bringing their own material within one standard pickup load per day. The load is inspected and goes into the heavier duty brown compactor used for bulky demolition material. Furniture from a business, a rental property or a paid contractor job is refused, and the centers are closed Wednesday, Sunday and holidays.Official guidance
What does it cost to use the Knox County centers?+
Nothing for a Knox County resident bringing their own residential waste and recycling, because the county states there are no fees to use the convenience centers and that recycling is unlimited. Non recyclable household waste is limited to one standard pickup load per household per day. The routes that can cost money are a refrigerant containing device, which the centers refuse and which the county sends to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street where a small fee applies, or to a clean out company, and household hazardous waste, whose facility the county says the city operates without publishing its fees.Official guidance
What will the Knox County centers not take?+
Business, contractor, rental property and commercial generator material, any load above one standard pickup per household per day, block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles because they are too heavy or slow to unload, greenwaste which has to go to a greenwaste facility, boards or pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties, and waste from outside Knox County without a Knox plate or proof of residency. A device that contained refrigerant is refused too, and televisions are not recycled there because the county directs them into the blue trash containers.Official guidance
