Choose each piece

A table and four chairs are five items.

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.

Bi-weekly bulk and brush collection

Accepted with preparation

Bulky collection is on the calendar rather than on request. Bulk and brush run every other week on the trash day of the recycling week, the pile goes where the household trash waits, and the city's own code section is what sets the day. A household that cannot wait can buy a 24-hour request instead.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Richmond residential addresses on the collection route. The bi-weekly bulk and brush pickup is part of the collection service, and the published charge attaches only to the optional 24-hour request at 100 dollars per request and to appliance collection at 50 dollars per appliance.
When & how
Put the material out the night before the trash collection day during the household's recycling week, because the bi-weekly bulk round mirrors the recycling schedule. If the crew misses it they return by Saturday of that week, and if it is still out on the Saturday of the second recycling week the household calls 311 rather than the recycling authority.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris, tires, carpet, auto parts, bricks, drywall, pipes, paint, gas and propane tanks and lawn mowers out of the pile, because all of them are prohibited. Storm debris has to be cut into pieces no longer than four feet and left at the property line, because the crews carry no saws and do not enter private property.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is bulk material on both city routes. It goes out with the bi-weekly bulk round on the trash day of the recycling week, and the Southside Transfer Station names large bulk items such as furniture among what it receives.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Richmond residential addresses. The routine bi-weekly bulk pickup carries no separate charge, and a city resident can instead drop furniture free at the East Richmond Road Convenience Center or the Southside Transfer Station. The 100 dollar 24-hour request applies only when the household wants the pickup inside a day.
When & how
Put the furniture out the night before the trash collection day in the recycling week, or take it to a self haul site during its published hours, which run weekday mornings into the afternoon with a shorter Saturday window.
Get it ready
Empty the piece and keep it clear of the alley or right of way once the collection is done, because receptacles and material left in the public right of way draw warnings and fines. Carpet and auto parts are prohibited, and commercial or contractor debris is refused at both self haul sites.

Bulk goes out on the trash day of the recycling week

The bi-weekly bulk and brush round mirrors the recycling schedule, and City Code Section 11-103 requires bulk items to be placed out on the trash collection day during the recycling week, in the same location as household trash and the night before the collection. If the crew does not collect the material on the day, it returns by Saturday; if items are still out on the Saturday of the second recycling week, the household calls 311 rather than the recycling authority.

Supercans have a four o'clock and a seven o'clock rule

Cans go out no earlier than 4 pm the day before collection and no later than 6 am on collection day, and they come back in by 7 am the day after. Cans left in the public right of way outside those times can draw a 50 dollar fine under City Code Section 86-44, and recycling receptacles are subject to the same warning and fine routine.

Only the city supercan is emptied

Residential trash is collected once a week Monday through Thursday, and it has to be inside a city-issued supercan; items in non-issued containers are not collected and draw a violation notice under City Code Section 86-81. Each residence gets one green can, up to three additional brown cans cost 55 dollars each through 311 with the fee added to the water bill, and businesses are limited to four cans at 23.75 dollars per month per can before a private hauler is required.

Construction debris, carpet, paint and tanks never ride the bulk round

The prohibited list for bulk and brush covers construction debris, tires without rims, carpet, auto parts, bricks, drywall, pipes, paint, gas tanks, propane tanks and lawn mowers. The self haul gates add their own boundary, refusing commercial or contractor debris and refusing dirt, rocks and concrete, and they accept brush and yard waste only if it is natural wood with no plywood or treated wood.

Storm debris waits at the property line in four foot pieces

Tree debris from a storm event is handled inside the same bi-weekly program with no call or request needed. Crews do not enter private property even when a city tree is involved, residents cut the material into pieces no larger than four feet because the crews carry no saws, and the debris waits at the property line until the round reaches it.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Richmond means driving to one of two city gates. The East Richmond Road Convenience Center at 3800 East Richmond Road opens Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm and Saturday from 8:30 am to 2 pm, taking household trash and a limited amount of bulk, yard waste and brush in natural wood only, tires without rims up to four, and small appliances, with no commercial vehicles and no contractor material, dirt, rocks or concrete. The Richmond Southside Transfer Station at 3520 North Hopkins Road opens Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 4:30 pm and Saturday from 8:30 am to 2 pm, is closed Sundays and holidays, answers on 804-232-8488, and takes large bulk items such as furniture, brush and yard waste, appliances and large items, with tires without rims limited to four at a dollar each beyond the allowance and five dollars for tractor trailer tires, plus glass bottles, cardboard, aluminum cans and newspapers for recycling. Appliances, bulk and brush are free for city residents at either site, while the curbside alternative is a 50 dollar appliance collection booked through 311 and a 100 dollar 24-hour bulk request paid by check or money order. Electronics leave the city system entirely: the regional authority runs special collection events instead of a standing service, charges fees on some items, and states that electronics must never go in curbside or drop off recycling.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Richmond.

How much does furniture removal cost in Richmond?

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 Richmond?

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?
