Everything we've written about getting rid of stuff in Atlanta — the real flat prices, how the city's bulk-item pickup actually stacks up against paid removal, and what to do with the couch when the West End student wave hits.
Seven routes, from free to fully handled. Here is what each one actually does in this metro, and where the published flat price lands: $126 a sofa, $431 a…
Every bulk program in the metro draws the line in roughly the same five places. Here is what gets left at your curb, and what each one costs to deal with…
A large window unit is $109, a portable is $85, an outdoor condenser is $115. Refrigerant recovery is part of the job, not a surcharge.
A studio usually lands at a quarter truck, $241. A furnished one-bedroom is closer to $338, a two-bedroom $431. Carry-out and disposal are in the number.
A standard metal or platform frame is $68. An upholstered or storage frame is $126, and a king version of one is $152. The carry down the stairs is included.
The price is the same whenever you book — $126 a sofa, $431 a half truck, no weekend or same-day surcharge. Timing is about everything else.
The room over the garage is usually three-eighths to a half truck, $338 to $431. The back stair nobody wants to carry a sofa down is included in the price.
Sometimes — and only if your jurisdiction runs a program, you schedule it, and the weather holds. Here is what really happens to curbed furniture in this city.
The cheapest route is almost never the free one. It is putting everything into a single visit: sofa $126, loveseat $119, or a half truck at $431 if the list…
A standard sofa is $126, flat. That price includes two people carrying it down your Grant Park front steps or out of a Midtown tower, and it includes the…
A half truck is $431 and a full truck is $732. Most Atlanta estate cleanouts land between those, and the basement is usually the reason.
A one-car garage usually lands at a quarter truck, $241. A packed two-car is a half at $431. A three-car OTP garage that has been the family attic for a…
In a Peachtree tower the furniture is the easy part. The certificate of insurance, the freight elevator reservation and the dock slot are the job — and none…
A full truck is $732 and most hoarding jobs in this city are several of them. The price is agreed per load before anything moves, so there are no surprises…
A hot tub is $390, flat. That covers cutting it down, getting it out of a sloped Atlanta back yard, and disposing of it.
A standard fridge is $164 and a side-by-side or French door is $183. Refrigerant recovery is included, and so is getting it up out of the basement garage.
$62 under 42 inches, $68 from 42 to 65, $73 above that. The twenty-year-old rear-projection set in the basement is priced the same as a flat panel.
A standard refrigerator is $164. A washer is $133, a dryer $128. Refrigerant handling is part of the job, not a line item, and the carry up from the…

Every price, published. Minimum visit $75, sofa $126, refrigerator $164, half truck $431 — all including the carry from inside the house and the disposal.
A dumpster gives you a box and a deadline. Junk removal gives you a crew and an end. A quarter truck is $241, a half $431, a full $732 — loaded for you.
The difference is not really the truck. It is when you learn the price. A sofa in Atlanta is $126 published up front; the traditional model quotes you in…
Every day the unit sits full is a day it is not earning. A quarter truck is $241, a half $431, a full $732, booked from a photo and done without you attending.
There is no single metro-wide mattress rule here — it is set by your city or county. Here is how those rules work, and what the paid route costs: a queen is…
A mattress is about 90% recyclable in principle and far less in practice. Georgia has no statewide program, so the realistic Atlanta route is $103 for a…
A queen is $103. A mattress and box spring together are $143. That covers the carry down from wherever the bed is and the disposal at the end.

The stuff the movers would not take is a quarter truck at $241, a half at $431 or a full truck at $732. Book it against your closing date, not your hopes.
General construction debris is $120 and contractor bags are $41 each. Heavy masonry is priced separately at $219 a quarter truck, because weight is not volume.
A truck that cannot back down your driveway is a normal Tuesday in Decatur and Brookhaven. The long carry is in the price: a sofa is still $126.
A 5x10 is usually three-eighths of a truck at $338. A packed 10x10 runs $431 to $587. The unit stops costing you rent the day it is empty.
The $99 in the ad is almost never the number on the invoice. Here is the real structure in Atlanta: a $75 visit minimum, then flat per-item prices with…
