Furniture Removal Pricing in the Twin Cities

Each piece has a published Twin Cities price. The quote you accept from your photo lists every item and the state waste tax, and that total is what you pay.

Furniture Removal Price List

ItemPrice
Sofa / Couch$126
Loveseat$119
Sectional Sofa (3-Piece)$185
Dresser (standard)$126
Dining Table (2–4 seat)$103
China Cabinet / Hutch$160
Bed Frame (standard)$68
Bookcase (solid wood)$123
Minimum order: $75. The 9.75% SWM tax appears as its own quote line.

What Moves the Total

The catalog sets the price, so it depends on what the pieces are:

  • Piece type and size
  • How many pieces
  • Sectional piece count
  • Solid-wood or oversized items
  • Whole rooms → truck-fill
  • Loose boxes and décor

A furnished room usually prices better as truck-fill — $241 for a quarter truck up to $732 for a full load — and the quote picks whichever is lower.

Basements, Walk-Ups, and Alley Garages

None of them change the price. Twin Cities furniture tends to live in hard places: a Nordeast duplex basement down a stairwell barely wider than the couch, a third-floor walk-up in Whittier, a detached garage off the alley in Linden Hills. The quote already assumes the crew carries it from wherever it sits.

How Furniture Removal Works

1

1. Photograph the furniture

A single armchair or a whole furnished house. Each piece is recognized and priced from the Twin Cities catalog.

2

2. Approve the total

Items plus the SWM tax line, all visible before you book. Choose a pickup window that fits.

3

3. Gone in one trip

A vetted, insured crew wraps and carries each piece to the truck, then sorts it for donation, recycling, or disposal.

Furniture That Won’t Come Up the Stairs Whole

Plenty of basement furniture went down in pieces, or went down before a wall or a railing was added. It won’t come back up the same way.

The crew takes it apart on site as part of the job.

Pieces That Usually Come Apart

  • Sectionals
  • Sleeper sofas
  • Bunk and loft beds
  • Large dining tables
  • Entertainment centers
  • Pool tables
i
Oversized sofas that have to be cut apart to get out of a room are $185 flat.

Why It Matters Here

Houses from the 1910s through the 1950s have tight basement landings, low ceilings, and doorways narrower than today’s furniture. Taking a piece apart protects the plaster and the woodwork on the way out.

A Note on City Pickup

Minneapolis’s large-item program won’t take furniture that has been disassembled, so a piece you took apart yourself may not qualify. We take it either way.

How to Get Rid of Furniture in the Twin Cities

You have real options. Which one fits depends on how much there is, where it is, and which city collects your trash.

Minneapolis Large-Item Pickup

City garbage customers in one- to four-unit buildings can set out two large items a week, labeled “For Solid Waste,” by 6 a.m. Couches must be under six feet, and nothing can be taken apart.

St. Paul Bulky Items

Twelve free items per cart each year, labeled “bulky” and left by the cart. Past that, each piece carries a fee plus tax.

Donate It Yourself

Furniture banks and thrift stores across the metro accept good pieces. Many ask you to bring it to them, and most have condition rules.

Have JunkRabbit Carry It Out

For the third piece, the basement sectional, the apartment, or anything you’d rather not lift, send a photo and choose a time. Usable pieces still get donated.

Furniture Removal FAQs

How much does furniture removal cost in Minneapolis?

Flat, photo-quoted Twin Cities prices: sofa $126, loveseat $119, 3-piece sectional $185, dresser $126, small dining table $103, bed frame $68. The minimum is $75, whole rooms price as truck-fill from $241, and residential jobs add the 9.75% state SWM tax.

Will the City of Minneapolis pick up my furniture?

If you’re a City garbage customer in a building with one to four units, yes — two large items a week, set out by 6 a.m. with a “For Solid Waste” note. It won’t take disassembled furniture, and you move everything to the curb yourself.

Can you get furniture out of a basement?

Yes. Carrying pieces up basement stairs is the most common job we do here, and it doesn’t change the price. Anything that won’t fit gets taken apart.

What happens to furniture that could still be used?

Yes. Usable pieces are set aside for local donation partners before anything goes to disposal, and that routing is part of the flat price.

Why is there a tax on furniture removal?

Minnesota’s Solid Waste Management tax applies to hauling away household waste, including furniture — 9.75% for residential customers. Every hauler owes it; we show it as a separate line so the total isn’t a surprise.

Can you pick up in winter?

Yes. Crews work year-round, plan around snow-emergency parking, and bring floor protection for wet boots and slushy entryways.

How soon can you pick up furniture?

Same-day is possible when a crew has an opening and you book in the morning. Otherwise, the next available window, which you choose when you accept the quote.
