Per-item vs by-the-truckload — which is cheaper?

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 clearingBest pricingBallpark
1–3 piecesPer item$75–$400

A 1–2 bedroom apartment1/2–full truck$525–$895

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.

What actually moves the price

How NYC furniture removal prices compare

OptionA room of furnitureThe catch
DSNY curbside bulkFreeYou 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–$800Priced by truck space, quoted on-site — the number moves when they arrive
TaskRabbit / gig labor~$150–$400 + dumpThey carry it down, but the dump run and disposal fees are on you
JunkRabbit$295–$525 flatAll-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.

How to pay less for furniture removal

What happens to your furniture after pickup

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.

— Peter M., Manhattan
