Furniture removal in NYC is priced flat, per item — a dresser is $169, a dining table $174, an armchair $104 — and the price includes the carry-down and disposal. Clearing a whole apartment? It flips to truck-load pricing automatically when that's cheaper. Here's the full item-by-item breakdown, when a truckload wins, and how to pay less.

| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Sofa / couch | $170 |
| Loveseat | $128 |
| Sectional (2pc / 3pc / 4pc) | $190 / $249 / $307 |
| Recliner | $132 |

| Dining table (2–4 seat / 6–8 seat) | $138 / $174 |

| China hutch / cabinet | $215 |
| Desk (standard / L-shaped) | $112 / $139 |

$75 job minimum. Every price is all-in — labor, carry-down from any floor, hauling, and disposal/donation. NYC sales tax (8.875%) is added at checkout.
This is the question that decides your bill. Short version: a few pieces → per-item; a whole room or more → truckload. We quote both automatically and charge whichever is lower for your load.
| What you're clearing | Best pricing | Ballpark |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 pieces | Per item | $75–$400 |
| A full room of furniture | 1/4–1/2 truck | $295–$525 |
| A 1–2 bedroom apartment | 1/2–full truck | $525–$895 |
| A whole-home / estate clear-out | Truck-fill (priced by volume) | photo/video-quoted |
Truck-fill tiers (all-in): 1/4 truck (~4 cu yd) $295 · 1/2 (~8 cu yd) $525 · full (16 cu yd) $895, with the in-between eighths priced proportionally. A full truck is roughly a small apartment's worth of furniture.
| Option | A room of furniture | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| DSNY curbside bulk | Free | You carry every piece to the curb, schedule it, and wait — mattresses must be bagged, and it's piece-by-piece on collection days |
| 1-800-GOT-JUNK & volume haulers | ~$400–$800 | Priced by truck space, quoted on-site — the number moves when they arrive |
| TaskRabbit / gig labor | ~$150–$400 + dump | They carry it down, but the dump run and disposal fees are on you |
| JunkRabbit | $295–$525 flat | All-in, photo-quoted up front, same-day, disposal included — per-item or truckload, whichever is lower |
DSNY is free if you can haul each piece down and wait. For anything bigger or faster, our flat number is usually lower and more predictable than an on-site estimate.
Usable furniture — solid wood pieces, working sofas, dining sets — is routed to donation (Housing Works, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, local charities) so it gets a second home instead of a landfill. What can't be donated is broken down for recycling where possible (metal, wood, cardboard). It costs you nothing extra, and it keeps bulky furniture out of the waste stream.
"Cleared a whole living room — sofa, two chairs, a coffee table, and a bookcase — and it priced as a 1/4 truck for $295. Cheaper than the four items separately."
"Dresser and a china hutch out of a 4th-floor walk-up. $384 flat, no stair fee, disassembled the hutch to get it down."
"They donated my dining set instead of trashing it and sent me the photo. Same flat price either way."
Flat per item — dresser $169, dining table $174, armchair $104, desk $112, sofa $170, and so on. $75 minimum, no walk-up fee, plus 8.875% NYC sales tax. A whole room flips to truck-fill ($295–$895), whichever is lower.
Per-item for 1–3 pieces; truckload once you're clearing a room or more. The photo quote uses whichever is lower for your load.
No walk-up or per-floor charge, and basic disassembly is included.
Essentially any household or office furniture — sofas, chairs, dressers, dining sets, desks, cabinets, beds. Usable pieces are donated.
Usually, booked before 2 PM. Same-day is the standard flat price — no rush fee.
