Disposal guide, Jacksonville
The city's bulk pickup, a transfer station, a store take-back, donation or a hauler like us: each route asks something different of you. Here is what each one takes, so you can match every piece to the right one.
Free, no-obligation estimates. We show up when we say we will.
The routes
Old furniture leaves a home by one of five routes: bulky waste collection, a transfer station, a retailer haul-away, donation pickup or a hauler.
Choosing between them comes down to cost, how much work you take on, and how much of the piece gets a second life.
Here is each route, with what it asks of you.
City pickup
Bulky waste collection is the city service for furniture too big for the trash cart: you set it at the curb, and a separate truck picks it up on a scheduled day, within size limits.
In Jacksonville that is the city's household bulk collection, which takes mattresses, sofas, chairs and other furniture as long as each piece meets its size and preparation rules. The City of Jacksonville Solid Waste household bulk collection page sets those rules out.
The catch is the curb. Every piece has to be out at the road before the truck comes, which means getting a sleeper sofa or a dresser through the door and down the driveway on your own, then living with it on the lawn until collection day.
The drop-off
A transfer station makes sense for broken or unusable furniture that you can haul there yourself.
Most people call it the dump. It is where a piece too far gone to donate ends up, and broken, ruined or unusable furniture belongs either there or with bulky waste collection, never in the recycling cart.
It works when you have a truck or a trailer, someone to help with the lifting, and pieces nobody can reuse. The whole trip is yours: loading at home, driving across town, unloading at the drop-off lane, and a charge set by what you bring.
Selling it yourself
Selling furniture online can bring strangers into your home and open you up to scams.
A Facebook Marketplace listing means handing out your address, letting buyers in to look the piece over, and counting on them to get it out the door. Some buyers are out to defraud you, and one who wrestles a dresser down your hallway can get hurt or damage the house on the way.
A sale can still be worth the trouble for a valuable piece. For the rest, one of the routes on this page usually costs you less time and less risk.
Side by side
The piece's condition, its size and how far you can move it decide which route fits.
The table lines each route up against those questions.
| Route | Condition it takes | Size it takes | Who moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulky waste collection | Any, broken pieces included | Within the program's size limits | You, all the way to the curb |
| Transfer station | Broken or unusable | Whatever fits in your vehicle | You, from the room to the drop-off lane |
| Retailer haul-away | Any, with the fee set by size | Only the piece being replaced | The delivery crew, where the store offers it |
| Donation pickup | Clean and sound only | Pieces the program accepts | The program's crew, on its terms |
| Hauler Us | Any condition | Heavy, bulky or many pieces | Our crew, from wherever it sits |
Donation fits a clean, sound piece that a program will accept.
Good, usable furniture is the kind that gets donated or resold, while stained, torn or broken pieces are not. Habitat for Humanity's ReStore donation page lists new or gently used furniture among the goods its stores accept.
Furniture DonationA hauler fits when the pieces are heavy, upstairs or there are a lot of them, because the crew does all the carrying.
Furniture is bulky, heavy and awkward around corners, down stairs and through doorways, and moving it without help is how people get hurt and walls get gouged. Heavy, upstairs pieces are what we at Duval Junk carry out in Furniture Removal, loading them and sweeping up behind ourselves.
