Furniture removal in Orange County

A furniture job can be one heavy piece, a room emptied before new furniture arrives, or a whole household after a move.

• Living room: couches, sectionals, loveseats, recliners, sleeper sofas, ottomans, coffee tables and entertainment centers.
• Bedroom: bed frames, headboards, bunk beds, dressers, nightstands and armoires.
• Dining and patio: tables, chair sets, china cabinets and sun-worn outdoor sofas.
• Office: desks, office chairs, filing cabinets, bookcases, conference tables and cubicle panels.

The pieces are rarely at the curb: they sit in an upstairs bedroom, down a side yard, or in a condo two buildings from the parking lot.

Getting a sleeper sofa out is often harder than lifting it. Measure the tightest doorway and the turn at the top of the stairs, and mention any elevator or gate code. In a gated community or apartment complex, ask the HOA or property manager where a truck may park, and pass the answer along with your photos.

City programs have their own limits. Santa Ana's bulky pickup turns away any single piece too heavy for two workers, and Aliso Viejo's guide also limits bulky items to what a two-person crew can manage. Garden Grove tells apartment residents to settle the pickup spot with property management, and Tustin sends apartment residents to their property manager, since CR&R takes bulky requests only from the person on the account and charges a fee at multifamily complexes.

A solid wood dresser or an office chair with every wheel attached can go to a charity, a thrift store or a neighbor instead of a landfill. Call the store first to ask what it accepts and whether it picks up. Our guide on how to get rid of old furniture covers selling and giving pieces away; we carry out whatever is left.

With a truck, you can take furniture to the county yourself. Only two county landfills are open to the public: Olinda Alpha in Brea and Prima Deshecha in San Juan Capistrano. Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine is commercial only. Under the fee schedule effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, a pickup truck load under 880 pounds costs $30.00, and anything over six feet long that the county counts as hard to handle, with furniture and mattresses as its examples, adds $15.00. Bring proof of an Orange County address, and cover and tie down the load so nothing can fall or blow out, as California Vehicle Code sections 23114 and 23115 require. Check oclandfills.com for current access before you drive out.

Office furniture removal follows the building's rules. If the property manager has move-out rules for the loading dock or freight elevator, send them with your photos.
