How to schedule bulky items pickup in Los Angeles?
Booking a bulky item pickup with Dump Happy takes a few minutes:
- Tell us what's going. Call (424) 356-4141 or use our quote form. A quick list, like "one sofa, one mattress, two chairs," or a few photos is all we need.
- Mention access. Let us know about stairs, elevators, a long carry, or tight parking so the right crew shows up.
- Get your price. We place the job in a load tier and give you a firm price before anything is lifted.
- Pick a time.We're open 10am to 8pm, seven days a week, with same-day or next-day pickup when the schedule allows.
- We do the rest. The crew carries everything out, loads it, and sweeps up the spot where it sat.
What bulky items does Dump Happy pick up?
If it's too big for the trash can, we can usually take it. Common pickups include:
- Furniture: sofas, sectionals, recliners, dressers, armoires, tables, desks, and bed frames. See furniture removal.
- Mattresses and box springs, including mattress removal for any size.
- Appliances: refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, and water heaters. See appliance removal.
- Electronics: TVs, computers, and monitors.
- Exercise equipment: treadmills, ellipticals, and weight benches.
- Everything else: carpet, doors, toilets, moving boxes, and the general clutter around them, all in the same trip.
Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and fuel need to go to a household hazardous waste drop-off; we'll haul everything else. More detail is in what junk haulers can't take.
Do you carry bulky items from inside the house and down stairs?
Yes. Bulky item pickup with Dump Happy is full-service. The crew carries items from wherever they are: an upstairs bedroom, a third-floor walk-up, a back unit, the garage, or the backyard. You don't need to move anything to the curb first.
We protect doorframes and railings on the way out and handle disassembly when a piece won't fit through the door in one piece. Tell us about stairs when you book so we can plan the carry. For a single big piece, see how to get rid of an old couch in LA.

Why not just leave bulky items on the curb?
Leaving furniture or appliances on the sidewalk without a scheduled pickup is illegal dumping under California Penal Code 374.3, and a "free" sign doesn't change that. See why a "free" sign doesn't make it legal and our illegal dumping overview. A booked pickup with a licensed hauler means the items are gone and handled properly.
