Getting rid of furniture in New York City: the local rules

DSNY collects large household items for free on your regular collection days. You can set out up to six large items per collection day. Non-recyclable large items go out on your trash-only day, while items that are mostly metal or plastic go out with recycling.

How bulk pickup works in New York City

  • Mattresses and box springs must be fully sealed in a plastic bag, or they won’t be collected.
  • Refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers need a Freon (CFC) removal appointment first, through 311.
  • Rechargeable batteries, some electronics and household chemicals go to a Special Waste Site or a SAFE disposal event.
  • Large items go out the night before your trash-only day, never in front of someone else’s property.

For furniture, the catch in New York City is that a mattress has to be sealed in plastic before it hits the curb, and you’re still carrying it down the stairs yourself. A furniture removal crew carries pieces out from wherever they are and takes them the same visit.

Recycling, donation and local tips in New York City

Many New York City charities and reuse stores accept clean furniture and household goods, and usable pieces are set aside for them before anything goes to a transfer station.

Good-condition sofas, dressers and dining sets often have a second life: charities and reuse stores take many pieces, although most can’t accept stained upholstery or mattresses.

How furniture removal pricing works in New York City

Every furniture removal job in New York City is quoted individually, and the price is agreed before anything is loaded. It depends on:

  • Truck space used
  • Weight of the materials
  • Stairs, elevators and carrying distance
  • Mattresses, appliances and electronics
  • Disposal and recycling fees

Compared with six large items per collection day through the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY), a quote from us covers whatever amount you have, with the labor, the driving and the disposal in one figure.

Furniture Removal in New York City: frequently asked questions

Can you get a couch down the stairs?

Yes. Crews move sofas down stairs and out of tight apartments every day. Pieces that came in through a window or won’t fit can be taken apart safely on site.

Do you donate furniture?

Clean, usable furniture is offered to local charities and reuse stores first. Items that can’t be reused are broken down so wood, metal and foam can be recycled where possible.

How do I get rid of a mattress or couch in New York City?

In New York City, a mattress has to be sealed in plastic before it hits the curb, and you’re still carrying it down the stairs yourself. A furniture removal crew can take it from inside the home, usually within a day or two.

Can old furniture be donated in New York City?

Often, yes. Clean, usable pieces are set aside for New York City charities and reuse stores before anything else; stained upholstery and most mattresses can’t be donated.
