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.

Furniture, mattresses, box springs and appliances that do not fit in a cart are collected from the curb by appointment. The hauler's rate table prices each group per item, and appliances sit outside the free yearly allowance.
City cost & eligibility
The two hauler pages publish different figures for the same groups: the bulky item page lists sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs at $23.11, white goods at $22.10 and refrigerators or freezers at $33.16 per item, while the 2026 rate table on the service page lists $25.35, $24.69 and $37.04 for the same groups. Confirm the current charge when booking on 206-381-6980.
When & how
Call 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged collection day.
Get it ready
Take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, keep the piece where the crew can lift it from the curb, and remember that appliances are not part of the free collection and are charged separately.
Once a year a Mercer Island household can set out extra garbage plus two non-appliance bulky items such as a mattress, a couch or a chair with no collection charge, as long as the pile stays inside the published limit and appliances stay out of it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free non-appliance bulky item collection per residential customer each calendar year, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less, which the service page describes as up to six bags of trash, plus two non-appliance bulky items. Appliances are excluded and extra volume beyond the limit is charged.
When & how
Book the collection with the hauler in advance and put everything out for the arranged day.
Get it ready
Keep the garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less, keep the pile at the curb rather than behind a gate, and hold appliances back for the paid bulky route because they are not covered by the free allowance.
A couch, mattress, appliance or other large piece is a scheduled collection rather than a curbside free for all. Call the hauler on 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged day. One non-appliance collection a year is free, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less plus two non-appliance bulky items, and appliances plus anything beyond that limit are charged per item.
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.

Donate usable goods and hand in batteries on the island

Cost & conditions
No charge. The city's thrift shop takes usable donated goods and hosts a battery recycling box inside its main entrance for dry cell single-use batteries, rechargeable batteries and cell phones.
Arrange it
Take usable goods and batteries to the thrift shop, keeping the batteries separate so they go into the recycling box rather than the donation pile.
The box takes household batteries and phones rather than loose damaged cells, and items that are not usable still belong in the bulky item route or a recycling event rather than the donation dock.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mercer Island.
How much does furniture removal cost in Mercer Island?+
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.

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?+

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.
