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 goes out on the city Call-2-Haul bulky collection. A residential household can schedule two curbside pickups or self-hauls a year with the cost already in its rates.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Tacoma residential Solid Waste customers, whose name is on the utility bill, may schedule two curbside pickups or self-hauls a year with the cost already built into residential rates. Multifamily and commercial customers pay a Call-2-Haul fee.
When & how
Call the city on (253) 573-2468 to schedule the pickup, then set the items at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
Get it ready
Count each piece against the three large item limit, put out only the items disclosed when the collection was booked, and keep the piece clear of vehicles, buildings, power lines and trees.
Place all items at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day, keep them clear of vehicles, buildings, power lines and trees, and put out only the items disclosed when the collection was scheduled. Call at least one business day ahead to cancel or change the appointment, and allow the whole business day because two trucks may be assigned.
One pickup covers up to three large items and up to fifteen boxes or bags of smaller items, and every bag or box has to be light enough for one person to lift. A set out over that limit counts as a double pickup, which uses up the household's yearly allowance.
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.
