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.

Furniture is handled on the heavy trash collection, which covers any item that is not household garbage, as long as the pile stays inside the 10 cubic yard limit.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no monthly or per item heavy trash rate, and the only published charge tied to the service is the 7.22 dollar additional roll of garbage bags from Utility Billing, so call Public Works at 281-471-9650 and confirm the current terms.
When & how
Check the heavy trash zone and dates for the address on the published map, then put the furniture behind the curb in front of the home by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled collection day, no earlier than five days before, and separate it from any brush pile.
Get it ready
Keep the pile within 10 cubic yards, keep it clear of fences, mailboxes, low wires and low limbs, keep rocks, bricks, ceramic tile, concrete, dirt, ashes, paint and hazardous materials out of it, and keep vehicles away from the front of the pile so the truck can reach it.
A heavy trash pile may not exceed 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as about 6 feet wide by 6 feet high by 8 feet long. If a pile is larger the city collects only 10 cubic yards and leaves the remainder, which can put the resident in violation for early set out, so the excess has to wait for the next scheduled collection or go to a private contractor at the resident's expense.
Heavy trash goes behind the curb rather than in the street, in front of the resident's own property and not across the street or in front of a neighbor, away from fences, mailboxes, low wires and low limbs, out by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled collection day and no earlier than five days before. The city is divided into six zones, the truck makes a single pass in the two day window, brush and yard waste stay separate from appliances and furniture, small items go in bags or boxes, and a refrigerator or freezer has to be empty with the doors removed or tied shut.
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 La Porte Public Works Solid Waste Division
Use the city garbage and heavy trash collection
A La Porte household with bagged household garbage and a heavy trash pile of furniture, appliances, brush or building debris.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no collection rate for either route, and the only published charge tied to the service is the 7.22 dollar additional roll of garbage bags from Utility Billing, so confirm any service question at 281-471-9650.
Arrange it
Put bagged garbage out by 7 a.m. on the Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday cycle, check the heavy trash zone and dates on the published 2026 map, and place the heavy trash pile behind the curb by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone.
The garbage bags cannot exceed 40 pounds, the heavy trash pile cannot exceed 10 cubic yards, the truck makes one pass, and rocks, bricks, ceramic tile, concrete, dirt, ashes, paint and hazardous materials are refused at the curb.
La Porte households put bagged household garbage out twice a week on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, with no bag over 40 pounds, and everything else goes on the heavy trash pile by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone, inside the 10 cubic yard limit and no earlier than five days before. Because there is no curbside recycling, recyclables, electronics, rechargeable and automotive batteries, dry hardened paint cans, light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, cooking oil and antifreeze go to the Recycle Center at 12201 N. C St., brush and yard waste can be dropped at Public Works at 2963 N 23rd Street after signing in, and the city household hazardous waste event takes materials such as large tires, appliances, flammables and gas cylinders that the center refuses.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in La Porte.
How much does furniture removal cost in La Porte?+
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 La Porte?+
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 do I get rid of a couch in La Porte?+
Furniture goes out on the heavy trash collection, which covers any item that is not household garbage. Put the piece behind the curb in front of the home by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled collection day for the address, no earlier than five days before, separated from any brush and yard waste and inside the 10 cubic yard pile limit. The city makes one pass of the truck in the two day window, so set it out for the correct zone date from the published heavy trash map.Official guidance
