Can I leave old furniture on the curb in Boise or Meridian?

Bulk pickup rules vary from city to city. Both Boise and Meridian run scheduled bulky-waste programs with limits on what and how much they take, so check your city's rules first. For anything outside those limits, a paid crew like The Junkluggers can take care of heavy items for you.

Big items aren’t usually picked up as part of typical curbside trash service. Bulky items go through a separate program with limits. Setting something out the wrong way can, at best, result in the item still being there several days later, with you having done the heavy lifting for no good reason. At worst, you can see a fine. It’s always worth checking your city’s current rules before you move anything.

City programs differ a lot based on where you live, but they all tend to fall short in the same situations. If an item is over the weight limit, that’s a problem. Sometimes, pickups are spaced far apart and you can’t wait weeks at a time. Other times, you have items so heavy that you can’t realistically get them to the curb in the first place. These are all situations where junk removal crews are well-positioned to help. To learn more about this, read about bulky waste rules in the area and what garbage trucks won't take.

Hiring a junk removal crew doesn’t mean sending items straight to the landfill. Many, The Junkluggers included, sort after pickup. We route your usable items to local charities whenever possible. If a charity accepts your items, you may receive tax-deductible receipts, when applicable, within 14 days.
