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.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
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.

Furniture is on the accepted list for the city's free Community Cleanup weekends at the Lakewood Transfer Station, and outside those weekends it goes to a transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Lakewood residents only at the free Community Cleanup, with a utility bill or identification as proof of residence; the cleanup runs twice a year, and outside those weekends furniture has to be self hauled to a transfer station where a fee applies.
When & how
Take the furniture to the Lakewood Transfer Station at 3869 94th St SW during a Community Cleanup weekend, which in 2026 runs Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25 from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., or self haul it to a transfer station at another time.
Get it ready
Bag every loose item, because loose items are refused at the cleanup, expect a five minute unload limit, be ready to back up a steep ramp and unload without help, wear proper footwear, and keep mattresses, electronics, paint, yard waste, construction waste, concrete and propane tanks out of the load because the cleanup refuses them.
The city contracts Waste Connections, trading locally as LeMay Pierce County Refuse, for garbage services, and the local office is at 4111 192nd Street East in Tacoma on (253) 875-5053. Residential garbage, recycling and food and yard waste collection all run through that contract, with recycling available wherever garbage pickup is offered, and questions about carts, service days and missed collections go to the hauler rather than to the city.
Two free cleanup weekends a year carry the bulky load
The city runs a Community Cleanup once in the spring and once in the fall at the Lakewood Transfer Station, 3869 94th St SW, and the fall 2026 event runs Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25 from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. with the last vehicle admitted at 1:45 p.m. It is free for Lakewood residents who show a utility bill or identification, and the accepted list covers tires off their rims, bicycles, furniture, grills, appliances, recyclables and bagged garbage. The rules are strict: a five minute unload limit, no box vans or vehicles taller than 7 feet, trailers no larger than 4 feet by 8 feet, no unsafe loads, proper footwear, self unloading up a steep ramp and everything loose bagged. Mattresses, electronics, paint and hazardous material, yard waste, construction waste, lumber over 8 feet, concrete, auto parts, propane tanks, donations and commercial waste are all refused.
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 Lakewood.
How much does furniture removal cost in Lakewood?+
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 Lakewood?+
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 does a couch leave a Lakewood home?+
Lakewood has no kerbside bulky pickup, so the free route is a Community Cleanup weekend at the Lakewood Transfer Station on 94th St SW, where furniture is on the accepted list and a utility bill or identification proves residency. Outside those two weekends a year the city's guidance is to take large items to a transfer station or special waste location, so a couch then travels to the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center, the Hidden Valley station or Thurston Waste and Recovery.Official guidance
Who collects Lakewood garbage and recycling?+
Waste Connections, trading locally as LeMay Pierce County Refuse, collects under the city contract, with the local office at 4111 192nd Street East in Tacoma on (253) 875-5053. The residential service covers weekly garbage plus recycling and food or yard waste collection, with recycling available wherever garbage pickup is offered, and the contract does not include a kerbside bulky item collection, which is why the city runs the free cleanup weekends instead.Official guidance
What are the rules for the Lakewood Community Cleanup?+
The cleanup runs twice a year at the Lakewood Transfer Station on 94th St SW, and the fall 2026 event is Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25 from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. with the last vehicle admitted at that time. It is free for Lakewood residents who show a utility bill or identification. Participants get five minutes to unload, must come in a vehicle under 7 feet tall with no box van and a trailer no larger than 4 feet by 8 feet, unload without help up a steep ramp, wear proper footwear and bag every loose item, and unsafe vehicles may be cited.Official guidance
