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.
Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from an accessible outdoor spot. A little preparation makes it clear which pieces are going and how to reach them.
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.

Bulk waste is collected at the curb on the normal collection day up to six cubic yards, with furniture, mattresses and resident-performed remodelling debris named as acceptable.
City cost & eligibility
Bulk collection runs on the same Solid Waste User Fee that funds the cart programme and the city publishes no per item bulky charge, so confirm the load and the fee status on 757-933-2311 before setting it out.
When & how
Set the bulk waste out after 3 PM the day before the collection day and have it at the curb no later than 7 AM on the collection day, adjoining the property that generated it.
Get it ready
Keep the load to six cubic yards for the collection day, including any vegetative waste, put limbs and brush in a separate pile cut to sections no larger than 6 feet by 6 inches, and use transparent bags for leaves and grass because dark bags are refused. Bags containing household refuse, boxes or plastic tubs filled with debris, tires, styrofoam, paint and liquids are all refused.
Furniture is named in the city's acceptable bulk waste list and rides with the curbside bulk collection rather than the green cart.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no furniture charge and the collection runs on the Solid Waste User Fee, so confirm the piece and the fee status with the Solid Waste Division on 757-933-2311.
When & how
Put the furniture out after 3 PM the day before the collection day and have it at the curb no later than 7 AM, adjoining the household's own property.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of vehicles, poles and mailboxes so the crew can reach it, count it inside the six cubic yard daily limit, and keep furniture out of the green trash cart and the recycling cart.
Six cubic yards, one pile for brush and a dark bag rule
Bulk waste goes out after 3 PM the day before the collection day and must be at the curb no later than 7 AM, adjoining the property that generated it. Six cubic yards is the most a resident can put out in one collection day, counting bulk and vegetative waste together, and another six cubic yards can go to the Recovery Operations Center under the same eligibility. Limbs and brush stay in a separate pile and are cut to sections no larger than six feet by six inches, leaves and grass go in transparent bags because dark bags are refused, and boxes or tubs filled with debris are refused as well.
The waste has to belong to the resident and the fee has to be assessed
Bulk waste must be generated by the resident, and a current Solid Waste User Fee has to be assessed on the property before the city will collect it. Debris from anyone other than the resident, from a commercial site, from a vacant property that has been empty more than 60 days, or from a vacant lot is refused, so a load produced by a hired contractor needs a different arrangement.
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 Newport News.
How much does furniture removal cost in Newport News?+
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 Newport News?+
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 much bulk waste can go out at the curb?+
Six cubic yards per resident for each collection day, counting bulk and vegetative waste together, and any additional six cubic yards can be taken to the Recovery Operations Center under the same eligibility. Set the load out after 3 PM the day before and have it at the curb by 7 AM on the collection day, keep brush in its own pile cut to 6 feet by 6 inches, and use transparent bags for leaves and grass.Official guidance
Will the city take a couch in Newport News?+
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's acceptable bulk waste list, so a couch goes out with the curbside bulk collection after 3 PM the day before the collection day and is at the curb by 7 AM. It counts inside the six cubic yard limit for that collection day, and it cannot go in the green trash cart.Official guidance
Who collects Newport News garbage and bulk waste?+
The City of Newport News Public Works Solid Waste Division runs both programmes from 513 Oyster Point Road. Household garbage goes in the green cart once a week, bulk waste is collected at the curb on the collection day up to six cubic yards, and the Solid Waste User Fee on the monthly water bill pays for it. Questions go to the 311 contact centre on 757-933-2311.Official guidance
What do I need to take a load to the Recovery Operations Center?+
Proof of Newport News residency, shown at the window before anything is disposed of, and a current Solid Waste User Fee on the property if the load is household trash or tires. The limits are six cubic yards of trash and bulk waste a week and four light duty tires without rims a week, and contractor trash, commercial property waste and dump trailers are refused.Official guidance
