How to Get Rid of Large Furniture Boxes (and Moving Boxes) in LA

The easiest way to get rid of large furniture boxes in Los Angeles is to book Dump Happy: we haul the boxes, the foam and packing material, and the old furniture they replaced in one trip, starting at $289. No cutting, bundling, or waiting weeks for space.

A new sofa, bed frame, or dresser can leave behind a box taller than you are, plus foam, plastic, and padding. Here's how a single pickup handles all of it.

How to get rid of large furniture boxes?

1. Gather everything in one spot.Boxes, foam blocks, plastic wrap, and padding, plus any old furniture that's going too. Breaking boxes down isn't required, though it helps them pack tighter.
2. Send us a photo. Call (424) 356-4141 or use our quote form, and we'll tell you the load tier.
3. Pick a time.We're open 10am to 8pm, seven days a week, with same-day or next-day pickup when the schedule allows.
4. We carry it all out. From any room or floor, loaded and gone in one visit.

Can Dump Happy take the boxes and the old furniture together?

Yes, and that's usually the best value. When you replace furniture, the new piece's box and the old piece need to go at the same time. Because we price by truck space, not per item, the cardboard often rides along with the old sofa, mattress, or dresser for little or nothing extra.

What about Styrofoam and packing materials?

We take it all. Foam blocks, corner protectors, packing peanuts, plastic wrap, bubble wrap, and paper padding all go in the same load as the cardboard. You don't need to sort them first.

What if I have dozens of boxes after a move?

A move can leave a garage or living room full of flattened and half-flattened boxes. One Dump Happy visit clears the whole pile, along with anything else you decided not to unpack. That's especially useful when:

• You're clearing a unit before a move-out inspection.
• You live in a walk-up with no easy path to the street.
• The boxes are blocking the garage or a room you need back.
• There's old furniture, a mattress, or other clutter going too.

For move-out clear-outs, see coastal apartment move-outs in Santa Monica and our junk removal service.

How much does it cost to haul away furniture boxes?

Labor, hauling, and disposal are included. See our pricing page for details.

What happens to the cardboard after pickup?

We handle it. Cardboard is recycled, usable furniture is donated, mattresses go to California mattress recyclers, and the rest goes to licensed facilities. Read more in what happens to junk after pickup.

Can I leave boxes on the curb instead?

Leaving boxes or furniture on the sidewalk without a scheduled pickup can count as illegal dumping under California Penal Code 374.3. See why a "free" sign doesn't make it legal. A booked pickup is the simple, legal way to clear them out.
