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.

Burien residential customers may put out up to one cubic yard of extra garbage and request a free collection of up to three bulky items once each calendar year, and anything beyond that is collected on call for a published per item rate.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb with no single item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may request a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs, scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322. An on call collection beyond the annual allowance is charged per item at the published residential rate.
When & how
Call Recology at 206.767.3322 or submit the bulky item request form, describe the items, and wait until the collection is scheduled before setting anything out at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep every item at the curb rather than beside the carts, keep each piece within the size limit for the annual allowance, remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer, and count each collection against the once a year allowance.
Sofas, chairs and other furniture are collected at the curb on a scheduled bulky item collection, and a Burien household may use the free annual allowance for up to three pieces.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A couch, sofa or large chair counts as one of the bulky items a Burien residential customer may have collected free once each calendar year, scheduled with Recology at 206.767.3322. Once that allowance is used, an on call collection is charged per piece at the published residential rate, where sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs share one rate.
When & how
Call Recology at 206.767.3322 or submit the bulky item request form, then place the piece at the curb on the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece at the curb and out of the carts, keep it whole so the crew can lift it, keep construction material and other non bulky items off the collection, and remember that the pieces in one collection count together against the annual allowance.
Burien residential customers may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb once each calendar year with no single item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may also ask for a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs. Everything has to be scheduled with Recology at 206.767.3322 before it goes out, and the pieces in one set count together against the once a year allowance.
Bulky items go at the curb rather than beside the shared carts, refrigerator and freezer doors have to be removed, and the collection has to be scheduled before anything is set out. An on call collection beyond the free annual allowance is charged per item at the published residential rate, and the pieces in one collection count together against the annual allowance.
Recology operates on all holidays except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and a collection day that falls on or after one of those holidays runs one day later that week. A missed collection has to be reported within twenty four hours, and a return trip for a residential customer who asks for a second visit carries a published charge.
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.

Free once each calendar year for a Burien residential customer: up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb with no item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, plus a collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs, scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322.
Arrange it
Call Recology at 206.767.3322 or submit the bulky item request form, describe the items, and set them at the curb only after the collection is scheduled.

City of Burien solid waste contract with Recology King County, plus the King County Solid Waste Division
Schedule an extra on call bulky collection
A Burien residential customer with more bulky items than the free annual allowance covers, or a second collection in the same year.
Cost & conditions
From $26.6 per non refrigerant appliance on an on call bulky waste collection at the published 2026 residential rate, with sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs at a higher published rate and a refrigerator or freezer higher again. A Burien residential customer whose account is in service, scheduled through Recology at 206.767.3322 or the bulky item request form, with the pieces placed at the curb on the collection day.
Arrange it
Request the collection from Recology, list every item, and put the load at the curb with refrigerator and freezer doors removed.
The rate is charged per item by type rather than per load, an appliance that holds refrigerant costs more than other appliances, and the charge is confirmed by the hauler when the request is placed.
Apartments and condominiums ask the bill payer to arrange it
A tenant in a Burien apartment or condominium building where carts are shared and the account is held by the property or another payer.
Cost & conditions
Service for an apartment or condominium address has to be requested by the bill payer on record, and Recology asks that items not be set next to the shared carts or containers, so the account holder arranges the collection and the arrangement and any charge are confirmed with Recology at 206.767.3322.
Arrange it
Ask the property manager or the account holder to request the collection from Recology, then follow the placement instructions the hauler gives for that property.
A tenant cannot schedule the pickup on someone else's account, items left beside shared carts may not be collected, and the free annual allowance belongs to the account rather than to an individual unit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Burien.
How much does furniture removal cost in Burien?+
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 Burien?+
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 many bulky items can Burien residents put out for free?+
Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb, with no item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may also request a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs. Everything has to be scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322, the items sit at the curb rather than beside the carts, and a collection beyond the annual allowance is charged per item at the published rate.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a couch in Burien?+
Schedule a bulky item collection with Recology at 206.767.3322 or through the bulky item request form, then set the couch out at the curb on the collection day. A Burien residential customer may have up to three bulky items, such as appliances, couches or large chairs, collected free once each calendar year, and an on call collection beyond that allowance is charged per piece at the published residential rate.Official guidance
Who handles garbage and recycling in Burien?+
The City of Burien holds a ten year garbage, recyclables and compostables contract with Recology, and Recology collects from Burien addresses under the CleanScapes name. Residential garbage service includes recycling every other week and food and yard waste every week on the same collection day, and the large item service is arranged with Recology at 206.767.3322. Household hazardous waste and self haul loads go through the King County Solid Waste Division instead, with the county information line at 206-477-4466.Official guidance
What does a Burien bulky pickup cost?+
Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb and request a free collection of up to three bulky items, all scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322. Beyond that allowance each on call collection is charged per item at the published residential rate, where sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs share one rate, a non refrigerant appliance costs less, and a refrigerator or freezer costs more. A household that hauls the piece itself pays the King County garbage minimum or the per item handling fees instead.Official guidance
What cannot go in a Burien garbage cart?+
Electronics cannot go in the garbage and instead ride the free curbside small electronics collection or a Recology Store or E-Cycle Washington drop off. Household hazardous waste is banned from the garbage, the recycling cart and the organics cart and goes to a King County collection site, and construction and demolition material is not a curbside or bulky item at all, so project loads go to the Bow Lake station or into a debris box. Bulky items such as appliances, furniture and mattresses also never go in the carts.Official guidance
