Furniture Removal
Need an old couch, recliner, dresser, or desk gone? Zoiris Junk Removal carries out and hauls away unwanted furniture from homes and offices in Mobile, AL.
Quick answer
Will you come out for just one big item?
Yes — that's exactly what bulk item pickup is for. Describe the item, its rough size, and where it is (garage, backyard, upstairs). We confirm an estimate and a pickup window, then the crew handles the heavy lifting. Some very heavy items, like treadmills and weight machines, are call to confirm.
What bulk item pickup includes
Built for the one-off item, not a full load.
- Removing a single heavy, bulky, or awkwardly shaped item without needing a truckload of other stuff to make it worthwhile.
- Carrying it from backyards, side yards, garages, and upper floors to the truck.
- Basic breakdown when an item is designed to come apart, such as removing weight stacks or folding a frame.
- Adding a few smaller things to the same trip if you mention them when you book.
Bulky items people ask us to pick up
If it's big, heavy, and non-hazardous, describe it and we'll let you know.
| Item | Status | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Exercise equipment | Call to confirm | Treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines are heavy — tell us the model and where it sits. |
| Lawn mowers & gas-powered equipment | Call to confirm | Fuel and oil must be drained before pickup. |
| Grills & patio furniture | Accepted | Remove propane tanks first — we do not take propane cylinders. |
| Carpet & rugs | Accepted | Rolled carpet and padding are easiest to load. |
| Bicycles, hand tools & shelving | Accepted | Empty gas-powered tools of fuel before pickup. |
| Toys, décor & housewares | Accepted | Includes children's play sets that are already disassembled. |
When bulk item pickup makes sense
It's for the single problem item: the treadmill replaced by a gym membership, the workbench that came with the house, the play set the kids outgrew, or the grill that finally rusted through. It also suits anyone who doesn't have a truck, a helper, or a back that's up for the job.
For one specific type of item, our dedicated pages may answer more: furniture removal for couches and dressers, mattress removal for beds, and appliance removal for stoves and washers.
How a single-item pickup works
-
Send a photo
A photo plus rough dimensions or a model name tells us most of what we need. Note where it sits and whether there are steps, a gate, or soft ground between it and the street.
-
We confirm it's a fit
For heavy items like exercise machines, we first confirm we can handle the piece. Then we confirm an estimate and a pickup window.
-
Lift and load
The crew does the lifting and carrying, maneuvers the item out, and loads it onto the truck. You just open the door or the gate.
What affects the price of a bulk pickup
A single item is still priced on the effort and handling it takes:
- Weight — a commercial-style treadmill or multi-station gym is far heavier than it looks
- Whether the item has to be broken down to get it out
- The route to the truck: stairs, backyard gates, narrow side yards, or soft ground
- The material and how it has to be disposed of
- Any extra items you add to the same trip
Getting a heavy item ready
- Unplug a treadmill, set the incline to its lowest position, and fold it if it's designed to fold.
- Take weight plates off bars and machines and stack them nearby — they're easier to carry separately.
- Drain gas and oil from mowers and other gas-powered equipment before pickup.
- Measure the item and the narrowest doorway or gate on the way out, and send both.
- Unlock backyard gates and keep pets inside while the crew works.
Large items we need to discuss first
Some big items are not confirmed yet or have conditions:
- Pianos — not yet confirmed; call to discuss the type and location
- Hot tubs and spas — not yet confirmed; call to discuss
- Anything that must be cut apart, torn out, or demolished to remove — we haul items, we don't do demolition
- Propane tanks and fuel cans must be removed first; we don't take them
Where this service is available
Bulk item pickup is available throughout the City of Mobile. If the item is outside city limits, call to confirm before booking.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a bulk item?
Generally, anything too big or heavy for your regular trash and too awkward to fit in your car — a workbench, a large rug, a play set, a piece of gym equipment. If you're not sure, send a photo.
Do you take treadmills and home gym equipment?
Exercise equipment is call to confirm. Tell us the make or model and where it sits — a treadmill in a second-floor bedroom is a different job from one in the garage.
Can you move a piano?
Piano removal isn't confirmed yet. Call us with the type (upright, spinet, or grand) and its location, and we'll let you know whether we can help.
Can I add a few smaller things to a single-item pickup?
Yes. Mention them when you book so the estimate includes them. If the list grows into a room's worth, our residential junk removal page covers larger loads.
How is this different from city bulk trash collection?
City of Mobile residential trash collection runs on a set schedule, has limits on how much you can put out, and requires you to bring items to the curb. With us, the crew picks the item up from where it sits. Check current city rules with City of Mobile Public Works (opens in a new tab).
