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.

Monthly curbside brush and bulky collection by section
Accepted with preparation
McAllen runs a curbside brush and bulky waste collection every month, with the city divided into four map sections and each section collected during its own full week of the month: North East in the first full week, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The curbside brush and bulky collection is a city residential service and the city publishes no item fee for it. Compostable paper bags are also free to residents, twenty a month from the Recycling Center and five a month from the other listed city facilities.
When & how
One week a month for the section the address falls in, with items set out at the assigned location before the Monday of that collection week.
Get it ready
Keep three feet of empty space all around the pile, put the pile at the curbside or in the alleyway rather than in the street, and keep it clear of mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters, walls and fences. City Ordinance Sec. 90-42 makes it unlawful to place brush so that it blocks a mailbox or covers a water meter, telephone pedestal, gas meter or cable wire. Grass and leaves go in the free compostable paper bags rather than in plastic.
Furniture is named in the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center, with sofas and mattresses given as the examples, and carpet is on the same accepted list. The curbside brush and bulky week takes the same kind of material.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture and carpet are accepted in the city's residential brush and bulky week and at the resident bulky drop-off, and no item fee is published for either route.
When & how
Out with the section's monthly bulky week, or taken to the Recycling Center drop-off at 4101 N. Bentsen during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the pile neat at the curb or in the alleyway with three feet of space around it, and keep it clear of mailboxes, hydrants, water meters and fences. Bring a water bill to the drop-off site, which is for residential use, and leave clothes and hazardous waste out because neither is accepted.
McAllen splits the city into four sections for brush and bulky waste: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of the collection week, and the schedule sheet carries the dated week for every month of 2026.
Keep three feet of empty space all around the brush and bulky pile, place it at the curbside or in the alleyway rather than in the street, and keep it away from mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters, walls and fences. City Ordinance Sec. 90-42 makes it unlawful to place brush where it blocks a mailbox or covers a water meter box, telephone pedestal, gas meter or cable wire.
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 McAllen Public Works, Solid Waste Department and Recycling Center
Drop it at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road
A city resident with furniture, a mattress, carpet, wood, bulky toys, tires within the monthly limit, an appliance or electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The bulky waste drop-off is a city service for residents with no published item fee, and e-waste disposal is offered to residents and non-residents at no published fee. Compost, mulch and crushed glass are sold at the same site.
Arrange it
Take the load to 4101 N. Bentsen Road during the drop-off window and bring a water bill as proof of address.
Residential use only for the bulky drop-off, construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused, tires are limited to five a month for residents, and a refrigerator is taken only with a technician's tag confirming the refrigerant was removed.
Self-hauling in McAllen centres on the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen Road, which the city keeps as the alternative to driving to the landfill. City residents may use the bulky waste drop-off for furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires limited to five a month, and appliances such as refrigerators, stoves and ovens, with a water bill as proof of address and a technician's tag on a refrigerator to confirm the refrigerant was removed. Electronic devices are taken there from residents and non-residents, and paper shredding is free. Construction debris is refused at the drop-off and in the curbside bulky week, so a project load goes into a city roll-off container instead, arranged through Public Works with the agreement submitted at City Hall. The curbside brush and bulky week still collects the same bulky material from the pile in the section's month, provided it sits at the assigned location with three feet of clearance and clear of mailboxes, hydrants and water meters.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in McAllen.
How much does furniture removal cost in McAllen?+
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 McAllen?+
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.
Which week is my bulky pickup in McAllen?+
The city is split into four sections and each one has its own full week of the month: North East in the first full week, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, with three feet of clear space around the pile and nothing placed near a mailbox, fire hydrant or water meter.Official guidance
Where can a couch go in McAllen?+
Two city routes take it. The monthly brush and bulky week for your section collects it from the curbside or alleyway with three feet of clear space around the pile, and the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen takes furniture including sofas at its bulky waste drop-off for city residents, where a water bill serves as proof of address.Official guidance
How do I know when bulky pickup comes to my McAllen address?+
The city publishes a 2026 brush and bulky schedule with the map split into four sections: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, and the schedule lists the dated week for every month of the year.Official guidance
What do I need to bring to the McAllen drop-off site?+
A water bill, because the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road is offered for residential use only. The site takes furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires within the five a month resident limit and appliances, and it accepts electronic devices from residents and non-residents. Construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused there.Official guidance
Does McAllen provide bags for grass and leaves?+
Yes. The BAG IT programme gives residents free compostable brown paper bags for grass clippings and leaves, twenty a month from the Recycling Center and five a month from each of the other listed city facilities, which include City Hall and the main library. Paper bags are used because plastic contaminates the city's composting process.Official guidance
