How Much Does Furniture Removal Cost in Orlando?
Last updated: June 12, 2026
Most furniture removal jobs in Orlando land between $99 for a single piece and $899 for a whole house cleared out. One sofa, one mattress, one dresser on its own runs $99. A bedroom set is $199 to $299, a living room is $249 to $399, and emptying every room in the home falls in the $499 to $899 range. Those numbers cover the labor, the truck, the dump or recycling fees, and the disposal run to the right Orange, Osceola, or Seminole County facility — there is no per-pound surprise at the end.
Why the range? Because moving a queen mattress down from a third-floor walk-up off Mills Avenue is not the same job as rolling a coffee table out of a ground-floor garage in Hunter's Creek. The price moves with how much fits on the truck, how many flights of stairs we carry it down, and whether a piece can be donated instead of dumped. Below we break down piece pricing versus load pricing, the things that nudge the number up, and how hiring us compares to dragging it to the curb for county bulk pickup or listing it on Facebook Marketplace.
Price by the piece vs. price by the load
There are two ways we price furniture, and which one is cheaper depends entirely on how much you have. If you just need one thing gone — a single recliner, a busted dresser, one tired loveseat — the flat single-item price of $99 is almost always the right call. It is predictable, and you are not paying for empty truck space.
Once you are clearing several pieces at once, load pricing wins. We measure by how much of the truck bed your stuff fills: a quarter load is $199, a half load is $299, and a full truck is $449. A typical bedroom — bed frame, mattress, dresser, two nightstands — fits a bedroom-set rate of $199 to $299. A living room with a sectional, coffee table, and an entertainment center usually lands $249 to $399. Furnishing-out a whole 3-bedroom house in Avalon Park or Kissimmee runs $499 to $899 depending on volume.
- Single item: $99 flat — one sofa, one dresser, one chair
- Bedroom set: $199-$299 — frame, mattress, dresser, nightstands
- Living room: $249-$399 — sectional or sofa set plus tables
- Whole house: $499-$899 — every furnished room cleared
- By the load: $199 quarter / $299 half / $449 full truck
What pushes the price up
The base rates assume an easy carry-out. A few real-world factors move the number, and we would rather you know them before we show up than feel nickel-and-dimed after. The biggest one in Orlando is stairs. Hauling a sleeper sofa down three flights from an apartment near UCF or a downtown walk-up takes more time and two strong backs, so multi-story walk-ups carry a modest add-on over a ground-floor or elevator building.
Mattresses are their own line item because Florida treats them specially — they cannot just go in a standard trash compactor, so each mattress is $89 and that already includes the recycling fee to the Taft processor. Distance matters too: a job way out in St. Cloud or Clermont may run slightly higher than one in central Orlando because of the longer disposal drive. And whether a piece gets donated or dumped changes the cost — a clean couch we can drop at Habitat ReStore costs us nothing in landfill fees, while a water-damaged one headed for the Orange County Landfill carries a tipping fee we have to cover.
- Stairs / walk-up: add-on for second floor and up with no elevator
- Mattress: $89 each, recycling fee to the Taft processor included
- Distance: outer towns like Clermont or St. Cloud may run higher
- Donate vs. dump: donatable pieces skip the landfill tipping fee
- Heavy / oversized: solid-wood armoires and sleeper sofas take two crew
Sofas, sectionals, mattresses, dressers, and office furniture
Different pieces behave differently. A standard three-seat sofa is a clean $99 single-item haul. A sectional is bigger — it is really two or three pieces — so it usually slides into quarter-load territory at $199 once you add the chaise and the ottoman. Recliners and accent chairs are single-item $99 unless you are clearing a matched set, in which case the living-room rate of $249 to $399 covers the whole grouping.
Dressers, armoires, and china cabinets made of real wood are heavy but compact, so on their own they are $99; paired with the bed and nightstands they roll into the $199-$299 bedroom set. Mattresses stay at $89 each regardless of size because the cost is the recycling, not the bulk. Home-office clear-outs — desk, filing cabinets, bookshelves, an old executive chair — typically fit a quarter to half load, so figure $199 to $299 for a converted-bedroom office, more if you are emptying a small commercial suite.
Donate first — it is better for you and the price
Before anything heads to a landfill, we try to give it a second life. A gently used couch, a solid dresser, a dining set with all its chairs — those go to Goodwill of Central Florida or Habitat for Humanity ReStore whenever they are in donatable shape. Metal bed frames and the springs from box springs go to a scrap recycler, and mattresses route to the Taft recycling facility instead of getting compacted.
This is not just feel-good messaging. Donation keeps usable furniture out of the Orange County Landfill on Young Pine Road, the Osceola facility off Bass Road, and Seminole's Bear Lake site — and because donated items skip the per-ton tipping fee, that is part of how we hold the line on price. If you have a receipt-eligible donation, we can leave the drop-off paperwork with you so you can claim it at tax time. You get the space back, the furniture gets used, and less of Central Florida ends up buried.
Us vs. county bulk pickup, a dumpster, and Facebook Marketplace
County bulk pickup looks free, and for a couple of curb items it can be. Orange County residents get scheduled bulky-waste collection with their service, but there are catches: you have to muscle the furniture to the curb yourself, mattresses and certain items have limits, pickup can be a week or two out, and HOAs in places like Lake Nona or Windermere fine you for furniture sitting at the curb before pickup day. If you can wait and you can lift it, it is cheap. If you cannot, you are stuck.
Renting a dumpster runs roughly $300 to $500 for a small one in the Orlando metro, plus you still load it, you keep it in your driveway for days, and an HOA may not allow it at all. Facebook Marketplace can put cash in your pocket for nice pieces — but you become a furniture salesperson, fielding lowball offers and no-show buyers, and you still have to move it yourself or hope the buyer brings a truck. Hiring us trades that hassle for a flat, known price: $99 for one piece up to $899 for a full house, we carry it from wherever it sits, we sort donation from disposal, and it is gone the same day or next.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum charge for one piece of furniture?
Yes — the single-item rate is $99, and that is the floor for one sofa, dresser, recliner, or table. It covers two crew, the truck, and the disposal or donation run. If you have several pieces, load pricing ($199 quarter / $299 half / $449 full) usually beats paying per item.
Do you charge extra to take furniture down stairs?
Carrying furniture down from a second-floor unit or higher with no elevator adds a modest amount over the base rate because it takes more time and crew. We confirm it when we see the layout, so the quote you approve is the price you pay — no surprise stair fee tacked on at the end.
How much does it cost to remove just a mattress?
A mattress is $89 each, any size, and that price already includes the recycling fee. We route it to the Taft mattress recycler rather than compacting it, since Florida does not allow mattresses in standard trash. A bed frame on its own is a $99 single item, or it folds into a $199-$299 bedroom set.
Can you remove a sectional or sleeper sofa the same day?
Usually yes. A standard sofa is a $99 single item; a sectional or heavy sleeper sofa is closer to a quarter load at $199 because of the size and the two-person carry. Call or text (689) 316-9038 and in most of the Orlando metro we can be there same day or next.
What do you do with furniture that is still good?
Donatable pieces go to Goodwill of Central Florida or Habitat for Humanity ReStore first; metal frames go to a scrap recycler and mattresses to the Taft facility. Only what truly cannot be reused goes to the correct county landfill. We can leave donation paperwork with you for your taxes.
